    Adding a NIC for Teaming

    Hi everyone, I have a somewhat technical question which I don't think many people have experience with which to help me, but I'll ask it anyway as I have hope that someone has gone through this before. I currently am maxing out my gigabit ethernet connection (~96% utilization at 1Gbps)...

    Streaks on LCD?

    Hi everyone. I've been enjoying my Doublesight DS-263N for about a year now, but in the past few months I have noticed that streaks are appearing on the left side of my monitor for no apparent reason. The best thing I can compare the look to is of spilled coffee on a piece of paper, although...

    Reliability of ES Chips

    Thanks for the help so far hans007. That's what I thought about ES chips but I wanted to confirm with someone else. Am I right in assuming that the chip probably was never overclocked and thus its life span shortened because of the rarity of Xeon boards that allow you to change the FSB? Also...

    Reliability of ES Chips

    Hi everyone. I've searched the forums and have not yet found an answer to a question I have. I want to upgrade my dual Xeon workstation with better processors. I currently am running a Tyan S2696 motherboard with two Xeon 5130s (2.0/1333 Wolfdales). I mainly do video editing using Sony Vegas...

    HD3850 + PCIe 1.1 4X = Limited Performance?

    Since the slot is connected to the southbridge instead of the northbridge, would the PCI express frequency affect that slot as well or only the slots served by the northbridge? I'm afriad of overclocking the southbridge and potentially causing corruption on the hard drives connected to the...

    HD3850 + PCIe 1.1 4X = Limited Performance?

    Hello everyone. I am looking for some advice with my system. Today, my colleague at work offered to sell me his stock-clocked ATI HD 3850 for a ridiculously low price. Right now I have an HD 3870 crossfire setup on a DFI X48-T3R, and if I did buy his card, I would have to put it in the 3rd...

    Overclocking Q6600 on GA-X38-DQ6

    I have the EXACT same problem with a Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 and a Q9450 with 4GB OCZ DDR3-1333 memory. Did you find any solution to the issue?

    1 MHz CPU OC = No POST. Why?

    I have a Q9450 on a Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 and am looking for a solution to a problem that is baffling me. The system works fine at stock clocks with DDR3-1333 memory, but changing the CPU bus clock to anything other than 333MHz - even 334MHz - results in the board refusing to POST. The memory is...

    Broken P4 478 Pins - Fatal?

    UPDATE: I checked my processor again and noticed that I had the processor oriented the wrong way when finding the pin numbers. The correct broken pins are AF1 and AF2. AF1 is VSS and AF2 is VCC, so as I said before the pins still seem redundant to others on the processor. Thanks for the...

    Broken P4 478 Pins - Fatal?

    Thanks for reading my plea. I need technical advice. I recently acquired a Pentium 4 Northwood 3.00GHz HT 800FSB Socket 478 processor with two broken pins. Before anyone asks, these are broken pins and not the keyed (intentionally missing) pins. Anyway, I have no motherboard to test this...

    $1700 for QX6700 at Newegg - Ridiculous

    I just noticed that the NewEgg price is now $1400 and it's limit 5 per customer rather than 1 per customer when it was $1700. It's amazing what competition can do.

    $1700 for QX6700 at Newegg - Ridiculous

    Look at this - I didn't expect that Newegg would begin price gouging for a popular product. Yesterday it was $1499, today it's $1699. To think the MSRP is "only" $999, this is ridiculous. I know that opportunists sell PS3s for twice their MSRP, but I didn't expect a reputable site like Newegg...
