    NEED HELP WITH HOME SECURITY

    Let me ask YOU first. Why did you assume that she has no knowledge of Video camera presence? So basically, if there is a video recording involved, you automatically assume that it is a spy camera and "poor" person has no idea that he (she) is being video taped? Is that it? How about poor kids...

    New X38 mobo purchasing decision

    Hello OLpal. Yes, it works really well @ 3.6 GHz but, I had it running only for 48 hours. I guess just to see how it reacts, see temperatures and make sure I CAN do it :-) No I do not plan to reactivate speedstep @3.6GHz. I went back to 3.00 GHz and put all to auto setting, meaning speedstep...

    New X38 mobo purchasing decision

    I just built me a new system and used ASUS Maximus Formula. It is a Monster. A true beast. It took E8400 with no problems right from the get go, I did not even have to update BIOS, board had latest BIOS loaded already, and everything installed no problems. You really should see the box and all...

    Looking for a good motherboard

    Thank you very much. Yes, it is a great machine. So far I am happy. I run Windows XP Pro 32 Bit. Many times people are too fast to give a bad review just because they have no idea what they are doing. They see something they do not understand or do not want to spend time to understand and here...

    Looking for a good motherboard

    Finally I am done building!!! It went very smooth. No surprises, no problems with BIOS as many people say. In fact, I never had such a smooth install. Amazing. MB already had latest BIOS installed (big surprise), reacted very well to my E8400. OLPal, thank you very much for tip on installing...

    Looking for a good motherboard

    Thanks so much for your advice OLpal. Yes, many people have no idea how to build a system and yet, they give bad reviews to perfectly good products. They should not be allowed to leave any feedback at all. Like guys complaining about P5E WS professional. Complain is - the is audio noise in...

    Looking for a good motherboard

    Well, that is what I thought as well. What do you think about OLPal's MB? Asus vs. Gigabyte? He sounds very confident. For past 10 years all I used was Asus....But Gigabyte has nice reviews as well. If you can, read his last reply in this topic, there is a question for you as well. I'd love to...

    WOW!!! Now I feel like I am ready to order parts at last. OLPal, can you give me more info on your MB. I tried to locate it on newegg.com and it gave me like 5 different boards. Which one would you recommend? Here is the link: NEWEGG.com Yes, I think for the first time in 10 years I am going...

    Looking for a good motherboard

    If you do not mind me asking...why quad core? Do you have a 64 Bit system? If so, then what do you do? I mean what can you do with quad core CPU that you cannot with dual core? I did some research on that and came to conclusion that there are not many applications that will support 64 bit. And...

    Looking for a good motherboard

    I do not mean to sound rude but...money is no issue here (thank god). I had a look at that MB. For some reason I was not VERY impressed. Although, many people are suggesting that MB but, also many people say that it is over kill and P5K or P5E will do just fine. Do not know why. I'd appreciate...

    Looking for a good motherboard

    Thanks OLPal. I think so too. GarfieldtheCat sounds like he really knows what he is talking about. Very interesting, you have same CPU as I want to order? Do you really like it? I am not going to over clock it because: 1. I do not know how 2. Do not think that it is safe. Now, about your...

    Looking for a good motherboard

    I just did some research and you are right GarfieldtheCat. I will get 4 GB instead of 2. Now, should I get 4 X 1 GB or 2X2GB? Personally I think that Corsair is the best but, it is just my opinion. God, so great to be able to exchange useful information.

    Looking for a good motherboard

    Me neither but, that is what my friend commented on Newegg.com ;-) I spoke to WD support, they told me same thing - very good drive and very fast(not as fast as raptor but...)

    Looking for a good motherboard

    It is 32 bit system, so as far as I know, I cannot use all 4 GB. I am thinking a better memory may be but...what's better than Corsair?

    Looking for a good motherboard

    Hi krnmastersgt. Yes, I agree, that Raptor is overpriced. That is why I am thinking of replacing it with say? WD2500YS WD My friend here tells me that this drive has no jumper setting for Master Drive, so ""booting the Windows main OS or any other OS off of this is not physically possible""...

    Looking for a good motherboard

    Aha! I thought it was ATI's version of SLI. Thank you very much. Now, I do not mean to sound annoying but, is that the only difference between P35 and X38 boards? I mean your answers actually make sense. No offence but, I tried some other forums and ....I better not get in to this story :-)...

    Looking for a good motherboard

    Hi GarfieldtheCat. Thanks for your reply. I agree about PS, already changed for Corsair. But Samsung or Hitachi drives??? In my opinion they are not as reliable as WD. Or am I wrong? Please correct me if I am. Also, I have about 4TB external storage (custom built enclosure and 8 500GB WDs) so...
