    Hard Drive - cant access data

    I totally understand what your saying. But initially I used the RAID. I dont know know alot about raid. I dont really know if it was 0. It was the only drive, and all i did was change the bios to RAID, instead of non-raid. I didnt do anything else except install XP. At that time the whole 300...

    Hard Drive - cant access data

    3 Montitors?

    Can someone give me some details on how to run 3 monitors (in a row on my desk). I currently am running dual monitors on my Radeon 9700 and it works great. But i'm greedy and want one more. I'm dure i can be suported with ultramon, but do i have to go to the third being PCI? Is it just that simple?

    Building P4

    So lemme get this straight, You guys all seem to agree the (non OC'd) Pentium 3.2 800mhz FSB 1gb cache chip is not as powerful and the Athlon64 @ 400fsb. Is that what we're saying

    Building P4

    ok, i forgot about that quad bumping thing. So, in basic terms, i can match the 800FSB with this RAM? And i will be prepared for any future chips that have higher FSB's? Or i can OC the system to an overall higher FSB of 1000+? am i correct in this?

    Getting new vid card for Doom

    Prepare for the future, save and get the ati x800 pro, or the x800xt if you can really save. it will be worth it when it lasts you as long as it will. I've had my 9700pro for 4 years and it runs doom3 on high at 1024x768 AAx4 at 40-60 fps. Very smooth.

    Building P4

    I'm thinking about building a P4 machine using the 800FSB 3.2 My question is, RAM only comes up to a PC4400 which is 533mhz, does this create a bottleneck and can you get ram that also runs at 800mhz? I'm used to athlon machines where you get great performance from matching the ram and chip...
