    Why Vista 64 bit?

    Vista x64 is not mind boggling faster than the 32bit variant. So I agree with the poster who says that speed should not be a reason to upgrade. Infact I don't notice a speed difference, I did right after I installed the OS, but it went away. Unless you have more than 4GB of ram, want to run...

    64 or 32 Bit Vista?

    The problem is, my wireless connection never actually disconnects. I'm always connected with a 70%+ signal quality rating. However, pinging outside servers and my router yields 50-75% packet loss sometimes. Other times my connection is fine. This never happened on Vista 32 bit. I had it running...

    64 or 32 Bit Vista?

    I would NOT move to Vista 64bit or XP 64bit if you have a wireless internet card as your only means of accessing the Internet from your machine. Granted there are one or two cards out there somewhere that have 64 bit drivers, the fact of the matter is all the major manufacturers are dragging...

    3800 series owners who own COD4 (question)

    Actually I was running 4x AA the first half of the time I was playing. When I disabled AA I didn't notice a performance difference (if I recall correctly). I think I'll turn it back on when I get home. I'm skeptical about the claim of a linear performance gain with two cards, but those...

    3800 series owners who own COD4 (question)

    I just installed COD4 and I played the first stage and a half. My setup: Q6600 4GB RAM Radeon HD3870 Asus Maximus Formula Motherboard Gateway FHD2400 I get around 30-40fps at 1920x1200. I'm not picky about it not displaying at 60fps, I know for some anything less than that is annoying. I...

    Vista RAID 1 setup procedures/instructions

    You can...but again it depends on your motherboard. Mine supports boot CD emulation using a flash memory device, but I found it easier to just place the driver on a second hard drive let windows detect it that way. To DonDon: Oh yeah that would be loads of fun having to re-copy 250GB of...

    ADATA memory

    I bought a defective 2GB SD card made by them. I had to call a very sketchy tech support number to get an RMA. The new card seems fine. Granted this was over a year ago, they may have become a more upscale vendor.

    New RAM fails memtest at same place

    Try different slots. I had a similar issue and it turned out that my ASUS Maximus Formula doesn't like Patriot RAM. Check the qualified vendor list to see if your specific RAM module has been tested for your board. You may have a defective motherboard or bad CPU.

    ASUS Maximus Formula 8GB memory question

    I had memtest failures with Patriot 4x 1GB PC6400 memory. I returned it for Kingston 2x 2GB PC6400 modules and they work fine. Seems like the Maximus Formula is picky with RAM. I don't overclock, but I thought my experience would be helpful. Enjoy your Q6600, it's nice.

    Vista RAID 1 setup procedures/instructions

    I have a RAID 1 setup with 2 x 500GB Seagate drives in Vista on an Asus Maximus Formula motherboard. Setup went smoothly. Setup is going to depend on your motherboard manual (I know, it's typically not very helpful) and your chipset. Make sure you update your drivers to the latest version...

    Recommmend some SMP Ready Applications

    I've tried winrar and the performance gain on my Q6600 was nice. Are there any other applications that have updated versions with SMP support?

    What Memory actually WORKS in an ASUS Maximus Formula Board?

    Okay, UPDATE. I tried playing musical chairs with my RAM using 2 of my 1GB sticks and low and behold I don't get memory errors with a specific pair of 2 sticks at stock settings in my blue dual channel slots. The other pair give me an error on EVERY step of the memtest 86 process. Also Prime was...

    What Memory actually WORKS in an ASUS Maximus Formula Board?

    Have you run memory tests and Prime using your OCZ RAM? I may go to Fry's and pick up some.
