I had a corrupt config.sys file in Windows, and during XP's repair process, somehow the settings for the RAID controller in BIOS got changed (I may have done it myself, because I had to change the boot sequence manually to get the SATA drivers to read off the floppy).
Anyway, I'm stuck with...
Thanks.
I suppose I could just buy a panel and try it, but I'd like to know what I'd need to buy if it doesn't work. I'd also need to save $$ and go with the Dell if I needed an expensive new video card.
Here's what the Biostar site says about the Geforce 5700LE's resolution...
Trying to decide between the Dell 2005fp and Apple 20" (I know some of the Dell's specs are slightly better but I prefer the Apple design). I suspect my Geforece 5700FX won't cut it with either, and I'd like to know if they'd require different video cards.
What's the most affordable decent...
I planning a 250-400GB 2 disk mirrored array for my new machine. I have an open IDE port and 2 Promise SATA RAID ports on my ASUS AV8 Deluxe. The disk is used for critical storage and audio work.
Would SATA perform better? It's more expensive and if I went IDE instead I could use a 250GB...
I'll be setting up an audio editing machine with an Asus AV8 Deluxe / AMD64 3500+. I need to be able to edit/record audio and store a large audio/video media library on a mirrored RAID while doing heavy broadband downloading / file transfer in the background to another drive.
(I know won't...
Oh, you're right; they are different.
Curious if there's a particular reason you say I'd want it for the v1000 besides price... is the single fan better for the v1000s layout?
Thanks again

I've decided to blow a lot of money on a...
Why can't PC case makers catch up and design something of HALF this quality (in ANY size) instead of cranking out these plastic "war helmets"?? I was half excited looking at the Antec Sonata for my new rig, thinking I'd at least found something innocuous (and possibly even vaguely elegant)...
Sorry, I know these posts get old. But I need to order this machine for a project and I'm hoping to get it out the door asap... I'm mainly wondering about the OS hard drive and the CPU.
one more time,
John
