    Cheap LGA775 OC board

    I just got a Celeron D 331 and an ECS board for nice and cheap from a friend who decided to ditch his extra box project. The ECS isn't worth overclocking from what I can find, might have some 'hidden' menu, so what motherboard would be a] cheap and b] overclock decently well?

    NTLDR missing ????

    I set the CD drive as 1st boot device but it still gave me the error. Stuck the old hard drive in, booted up and installed 2K from there. Yup, that was n00b :(

    Wow you really didn't read my post did you? I was and am against the attck on Iraq!!! Before anyone listens to you, respect others point of view by at least a bit and cool down!!! Saying that the Marines are child killers is dumb, they are good Americans.

    BTW I am a Libertarian. The attack on Iraq was essentially flawed. I was not for it at all. Any such international aggression must be EXTREMELY well based, intelligence just isn't good enough. Heck, if anyone, we should have attackd North Korea or Iran, countries that are much more dangerous...

    I agree with you. There is no blood under the bodies, and the arms are stiff in unnatural postions that wouldn't be possible if they died in the location. This has been one of the most sensitive wars of all time. The concern for civilian casualties is incredible, especially considering that...

    Athlon 64 3800+ obsolete?

    The 4000+ is basically a FX-53 without the unlocked multiplier. It has 1 Mb L2 and 2.4 Ghz. Saying that the 6600GT is obsolete is like saying that a FX-53 is outdated.

    Please help a first time AMD buyer.

    To run dual channel ram, two dimms are needed. There is a performance increase, not huge, but large enough. Running dual channel isn't as critical with AMD64s as with P4s. You don't have to install ram in dual channel configurations with a dual channel capable system, it is an option.

    AMD 90nm power consumption measured

    Agreed. AMD has proven that GHz milestones aren't the end-all. Superior achetechture{ok, I know my spelling is lacking} will beat out raw, brute force, just as we have seen.

    NForce Ultra 400GB Available now :)

    Raid 10 or 1+0 is a combination of the two, striping and mirrioring. It needs four drives minimum, more can be used. It setups up two Raid 0 arrays, and mirriors them for data integrity. Raid 5 is a parity calculating (big words i don't know what mean) array. Instead of mirroring for data...

    754 or 939?

    IMHO, 939 for a budget is still off in the horizon. As the new flagship socket, alot of changes will be done to it, SLI, PCIe, and within a year or 18 months, DDR2 (1066 and above will begin to pull away from DDR). I tend to buy budget systems that are still capible, sig stands evident. And I...
