    First plunge into vista (Ulitmate x64)

    LOL, since I knew I wasn't going to use vista for a while, I stopped looking at anything to do with it since I heard it was so buggy, and everyone complaining for a service pack. Now that I have the correct version installed, with a brand spanking new 600 watt power supply, I can see that it...

    First plunge into vista (Ulitmate x64)

    I wasn't even expecting it to boot, let alone run vista. I'll get my 600 watt friday, then I can start using it without fear of shuttign down randomly

    First plunge into vista (Ulitmate x64)

    I saw that it was smaller by 400 MB, and I thought, a checked version should be better than the normal version, right? I guess not. Ah well, at least I didn't spend a week trying to figure it out myself

    First plunge into vista (Ulitmate x64)

    I used memtest86 on a different motherboard with this ram, looped through several times while i slept fine I did change the timings to 4-4-4-12 from 5-5-5-18, because they were advertised at running at those.

    First plunge into vista (Ulitmate x64)

    the only part that isn't "up to snuff" would be the PSU, which I took out of my fileserver (only 250 watts) while I wait for my 600 watt OCZ. But I doubt that's the problem. Full specs: note: everything at stock: E8400 w/ stock HS evga 8800gt w/ 2 slot cooler 4x1gb ballistix tracer...

    First plunge into vista (Ulitmate x64)

    So I put together my new computer last night (e8400, 8800gt, 4GB ram, 500GB HDD etc...) and now I have some questions. I installed vista, (yes, I pulled out 2GB of ram as I've read here) and now everything is.... mostly running. I haven't used vista before, but is it normal to have programs...

    Crucial Memory… Never Again.

    2.2 is way too much. I run my crucial ballistix at 1.8. I believe the reason it says 2.2v is because it can run at 2.2v, not because it needs to. 1.8 is really all you need, anything more shortens lifespan, as you can see.

    Looking for a case...

    I am going to need a power supply, and weather it comes with the case or I get one separate doesn't really matter, as long as it's a decent one I'll look at Lian-Li, see what I like. Any other suggestions are wonderful

    Looking for a case...

    This will be my first build, and I'm looking for a case that won't break the bank. I've been looking in the 80-100 range, but I am willing to go a little over if need be. I've been looking at some coolermasters, and I like the 690 with the mesh front. I like thermaltake's armor, but it is a...
