    Biostar/Sempron Combo, Won't POST!!

    Ok, I have changed cases, power supplies, memory, and video cards. No sounds, no nothing. The closest I have been to getting it to boot, has been when I changed the video card from a Geforce4 to a Geforce2, and when I slid the card in the AGP slot it booted, and I heard one beep. The mobo is...

    SATA master drive, took out IDE slave, won't boot.

    That's right they don't have Master/Slave configs. I mean I wanted to use the SATA drive as master in theory (boot drive). I did take it all the way out, was going to use it in another system. I think I figured it out. When I installed the OS on the SATA drive, I had the WD120 connected. I...

    Single Raptor drive, or Dual SATA 7200 Raid 0??

    My dual Xeon 2.4Ghz server is running the SCSI drives, I need something that's going to give me peak performance with my Athlon 4000+. I agree, the Raptors are running the show, but that's a lot of money for a 74Gb drive, almost twice as much as the Barracuda. The Barracuda drives cost almost...

    Single Raptor drive, or Dual SATA 7200 Raid 0??

    What do you think about the Seagate Barracuda drives? They are always pitted up against the Raptors on bench tests.

    Upgrade from 9800 Pro?

    I agree, the GT is still $390 lowest I can find, except for Ebay, which is $370 (I don't like to wait 2-3 weeks until I recieve something). Thanks for the opinions everyone. I'll keep my eye on the GT/Ultra for a while and see what happens. This message board has been a very big help (and...

    Upgrade from 9800 Pro?

    Taking everything in consideration I guess I should do the best I can with my new Abit mobo, I just got it. No, I'm not hurting, but that goes without saying (we could ALL survive with Emachines if we really had too) so I guess it's not a matter of hurting. There is nothing wrong with cutting...

    Single Raptor drive, or Dual SATA 7200 Raid 0??

    I understand. My server (PowerEdge 2600) runs dual P4s at 2.4ghz with HT. I have 3 18gb 15K SCSI drives in raid 0 (redundancy, parity not important for my data). I know I won't get comparible results, but I feel my main workstation (4000+) is bottlenecked with my current drive config. I'm...

    I am wondering, would a SINGLE Raptor SATA drive at 10,000 rpm be faster than dual SATA drives at 7200 rpm in a RAID 0 config?

    Upgrade from 9800 Pro?

    Good point, AGP days are numbered. In a year I might have to replace my mobo as well for a PCI-Express card.

    Upgrade from 9800 Pro?

    I have been contemplating on waiting. And you are right, the price will go down. However, my plan is to UPGRADE. I have been fairly successful on ebay upgrading to newer technology. I have sold my older computer parts almost overnight. Memory, graphics cards, etc... I can wait, and every...

    Upgrade from 9800 Pro?

    hmm..intresting. Believe it or not I can tell that my 9800 pro is a bit of a bottle neck on my current system. It's like the cpu and memory is slapping it around like a b!@#h. I do like eye candy, I am one who believes that there is no need to buy a nice graphics card, and cpu, if you are not...

    Upgrade from 9800 Pro?

    I want to go ahead and upgrade, still a little sceptic about the plain 6800's slower GPU. I am just wondering is there anything out there signifantly better that the 9800 Pro worth upgrading too. Thanks.

    Upgrade from 9800 Pro?

    Hello everyone, I am new to forums (although I have been reading them for years) I have never joined one before. I am hoping for a little advice here. I want to upgrade my graphics card with noticable differences. I have a 9800 Pro 128mb card. Would the 6600GT be a wise choice or not? Thanks.
