    My new NF4 Ultra won't boot to SATA

    Hey, I just wanted to let you all know that I figured out the problem. It was the MBR. After wiping the MBR and sector 0 of the raptor, booting to the xp cd, reformatting the raptor, and intstalling xp, the mobo finally accepted it. And now it runs great!! Thanks for all your input...

    Critique this system

    I would spend some more of that money investing in mics. 57's and 58's are all around decent mics, but your going to want and need some good condensers. The AKG 414 is a beautiful and awesome and high priced condenser. THe MXL990 has got a decent sound and is cheap as hell ($60). There's all...

    Help me... what in my setup is slowing me down

    Help me... what in my setup is slowing me down

    No, it's not the SE. It's a regular old 9600. I don't really have much of a graphics particular problem... It just seems like my machine should be faster. Have you checked the bandwidth of your HD? I'm really particular about the processes I allow to run on my computer... the only extraneous...

    Help me... what in my setup is slowing me down

    So there actually is a difference between the IDE and SATA WD80? Or do you think there's something wrong with the one I got?

    Help me... what in my setup is slowing me down

    I feel like I have pretty good speed on everything else besides the Hard drive. I mean, isn't 25MB/s a pretty small bottleneck for a system like mine?

    I built a new rig over christmas, and while it's a little faster than my old AMD XP 1.3, it's not like I'd want it to be. Can you guys tell me the weakest link here? What should I be working on? Here's my rig: AMD64 3400 Socket 754 Asus K8V-X board 1 gig PC3200 RAM (1 Corsair XMS, 1 Corsair...

    How much is this rig worth?

    Just upgraded and selling my old machine. I plan on running it in the paper and putting flyers on campus. It may be wishful thinking but I'd like to get $400 to 500 for it. I guess it all revolves around finding the right buyer. Here's the specs: Mid tower with 350 watt PSU AMD Athlon XP...
