    My 'broken' HD has lasted for two years...why lol

    I know what you mean , I've been using 'broken' disks that I baught from my old work place for £3-£5 each as windows would not install on them properly. Even thou FreeBSD has been using them (without a single glitch) for 2 years now in a 24/7 fileserver hosting MP3's/Movies and large...

    Upgrade Question (7900GTX -> 8800 )

    I've recently baught an eVga 7900GTX and am considering upgrading via step up to an 8800 series. To be honest im not a 'hard core' (no 18 hour sessions :rolleyes: ) gamer anymore but when I do play games I want all the eye candy turned up. Id be running a dual 19" widescreen(1440x900) setup...

    using all 4 ddr2 slots

    Most new decent boards support 8GB and you need to run a 64 bit version to recognise anything over 4GB due to software limitations ( im sure it may even be 3GB on windows).

    Torture testing!!!

    Try running ITAT and doing a workload test, it killed my new OC systems before I found a stable OC. It seems to be the only program to make my CPU load and temp skyrocket (up to 80c on a E660, OC to 3.4 on stock HSF).

    E6600 + 680i: Can't get 400mhz FSB stable

    I have the exact same setup and managed to get a fairly good overclock with 30 minutes playing (http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=143232). Im still waiting for my heatsink to arrive before I can really play with it as this stock one seems a bit weak. I am worried about my 54C idle...

    Cell Shock memory, where to buy it?

    the standard 6400 ive got does 800MHZ 3-3-3-4 timings with a 2.3 volt. 1000MHZ 4-4-4-12 is alwasy easy to achieve (again at 2.3). I manged to get it to about 1150mhz 5-5-5-12 (2,5 V ) before it starts to go all flakey (which cauld potentially be another unrelated problem as im tweeking...

    Cellshock ?

    It's an extra £50 of an already expanded budget of £1100 , which is now more like £1400 due to an eVga 8800GTS. The real question is will I actually notice the difference, if I will then another £50 is fine but if its marginal then I can't justify it ( or rather my GF wont understand the need...

    Cellshock ?

    Currently building a system and really am confused about the ram. Its an Core duo 2 E6600 on the eVga 680i SLI board. I've come across a company cally 'Cellshock' and from what i've been reading the chips are outstanding. I was originally going to get some Corsair 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2...

    New System Specs

    Thanks for the input guys. Randall Clarke: I have a fileserver already that can easily backup this drive and more , granted it will be a network backup but it should be fine for the time being. The motherboard does have 2 PCI slots which cauld be a problem like you said, but I doubt ill...
