    If I dont get Nehelem- whats the next best thing

    What do you want to do with it? If you're looking for max performance per core and/or good overclocking spend a shedload of cash on an intel solution. If you're looking for good performance at a reasonable price and AMD X4/780G combination is a good performer for the price. It all depends on...

    Is ABIT still a good brand?

    I'm a happy IP35-Pro owner, been fairly solid (although it wont boot NetBSD or linux easly, although I think this is a timing issue as I do overclock. Boots OSX just fine.), have just bought a A-S78H for the server too, dirt cheap, 6xSATA sockets and works lovely with an X4, I'm very happy with...

    Bound to happen eventually... POST errors, can only boot with default settings

    Is the battery on it's way out? You can probably check the battery voltage in the BIOS or through some sensor reading program.

    My Dilemma.

    If you just keep a second system as AMD (esp if you're not gaming on it.) then the 780G based stuff is worth a look.

    My Dilemma.

    Hmm, if you've reformatted it's unlikely to be the OS, however I have had the 'unable to boot' thing with perfectly working motherboards and USB drives. What are you plugging in? If it's a USB storage device (iPod, flash drive etc.) then it's probably still worth trying a linux live CD, just...

    Need to link to a specific image in a java array

    FWIW, you can prob replace: which_image_loaded += direction; if (which_image_loaded < 0) which_image_loaded = 56; if (which_image_loaded > 56) which_image_loaded = 0; with: which_image_loaded=(which_image_loaded+direction)%57 which will give you a number between 0 and 56 (the...

    i have 4 domains on one website. How do i redirect?

    Try replacing header("Location: ".$url); with header("Pragma: No-cache"); header("Cache-Control: no-cache"); header("Expires: -1"); header("Location: $url"); that will stop it being cached if that's a problem

    Phenom 9550

    Scan in the UK have the 9550 marked as 'In stock', but dunno if anyone's actually got one yet. Lost Circuits managed to get a 9850 to 3.2 on the stock cooler, which seems ok, however I think that's the black edition with unlocked multipliers?

    System passes all stress tests but gets BSODs during basic work

    What os you running? On XP If you right click on 'My computer', select 'Properties', then on the 'Advanced' tab, in the 'Startup and Recovery' section click the 'Settings' button. Under the 'System Failure' section see if the 'Automatically restart' checkbox is set, if it is, clear it and 'OK'...

    PSU for P182?

    I've got a P180 case for my server, and have just put a Tagan TG400-U3 in, which fitted with no problems, although it doesn't have modular cables it does have a good range of connectors (2 4 pin PCI-E, plents of SATA, 8/4 and 20/24 pin mobo connectors, the higer wattage PSUs have more...

    350 watts + 7800gtx

    How heavy is the PSU? If you're running it near it's rated wattage it'll get hot, and that heat needs to go somewhere. a good rule of thumb is to weigh the PSU if it's "damn heavy" then you'll probably be ok. If it's paper light then I wouldn't risk it.

    Random BSOD and reboots due to PSU?

    It does sounds like a memory issue. How long did you prime/memtest it for? I had a dodgy 1gig DIMM causing this in my media center a while ago (random freezing and crashing), it took 50 hours for the memtest to find the error. (I left it running all weekend whilst I went away.) Memory errors...

    Best Motherboard to OC Q6600

    Another vote for the abit IP35-Pro here too. Q6600 @ 3.5 with a Thermalright Ultra 120. Really happy with it. :) (If I was more adventurous I'm sure I could get 3.6 maybe 3.7 but that requires some scary voltages.)

    PSU for fileserver

    I generally work on a figure of around 10W a HD (Most HDs are a little less than this but it's a good ballpark.) Does your card do staged spinup? The main draw if not will be on power on. My server has 6 HDs in it, and it draws around 220-230w on powerup, but never really goes much above 150 in...
