    Hi, Working on my new system. Last things to buy will be the Q6600 and the P5B deluxe. I want a 3rd party air heatsink so I can do some moderate overclocking.. thinking of getting to around 2.8 GHz. 3 would be nice but not counting on it. In any case, what kind of heatsinks can handle the...

    ICH8R Question

    Hi, Looking at the Asus P5B deluxe to put with a Q6600. Picked this board because it has the ICH8R which has a little nicer raid support built in. I can't figure out the limitations of the controller though. I KNOW its limited to 4 devices in an array.. but not sure what other limitations...

    Monitor Glare Coating?

    My new monitor seems to have a little scartch on the screen where the anti-glare coating was rubbed off. The actual monitor is fine, but it is very annoying and no amount of buffing will get it out. If I somehow windexed my screen and got rid of the coating, then re apply it somehow. Is this in...

    Help Me Pick A Monitor :)

    I am looking for a flat-screen 19 inch CRT. I do not want overpriced Sony, but I am torn between Shadowmask and AG. I think Shadowmask will be better for what I do (lots of text, rarely do I use graphics except for playing games during breaks). Which of these would you recommend? I have pretty...

    How to tell if hardware modem is hardware :)

    I am not really sure how the driver interactions with hardware modems work. If you take a hardware modem, and install winmodem drivers for it (because the hardware drivers are messed), will the modem behave as a winmodem, hardwaremodem, or somewhere in between? Any test I can run to see how they...

    PCI X + SCSI

    I am about 3 days away from finally getting a u160 SCSI controller. It supports 66 MHz and 64 bit. Of course because I have a "normal" mobo I will be limited to 110-133 MB's a second. In the future, this card should work in a PCI-X slot right? What would it be limited at? Any higher...

    8k7a - how to use 1/5 PCI divider?

    Why are SCSI burners slower than IDE?

    IDE Hard drives are slower than SCSI because a) no real demand in consumer market for 15k rpm drives and b) controllers might not be able to handle it. But why are there no 24 and very few 16 (1 I know of) SCSI burners. It seems like since SCSI is "higher qual" that they would have...
