Cleared several times and reflashed to latest BIOS (F14, was F7)

Well, I suppose if it's dead in the water OC-wise, then I'll probably want a bigger PSU for the replacement system anyway, so I guess I'll go that route. Funny thing is though, I can +.2 on vdimm and +.1 on the chipset and it'll run fine at 6x800, so it *will* overclock and run if I don't...

I have a E6400 with a Gigabyte 965P-DS3 rev 1. 3GB of AData DDR2, an 8800GTS, some HDs and an Antec 500 True Watt. For about 2 years, this combo has fought at a solid 3.2GHz, with the RAM running at a nice standard 800Mhz. Last night Windows 7 wouldn't reboot. So I shut it off. Damn...

All the manufacturers seem to have the SATA 'enterprise class' drives for this. So I say two things: I think the numbers the manufacturers publish may infact be somewhat FUD Even if this is true, I think the solution is in the software. ZFS/RAID Z. Also, myself I use mdadm to do RAID...

Maybe I'm the strange man out, but as a Linux and Mac user, I'd prefer somethingless relative to Windows and it's file handling.

Yea, what's the pedigree of Crystal DiskMark, anyhow? Real world (compile time?) benchmarks?

Eh, but if you look at those benchmark numbers that are floating around, the random write performance on the G2s is 40% higher than the G1. I would feel like a sucker if I bought the G1 even at the G2 price.

I know I can look at the older reviews, but it's often two problems that come along with that: 1) Different games. There's not really any one baseline benchmark that stays the same. I know this is sort of a side consequence of how [H] focuses on real world gaming results, which is something I...

One thing I would like to see in [H] reviews are results on older cards. I want to know if the performance delta is there to make it worth my while to upgrade. I have a 7900GTO @ GTX speeds. What's the difference going to be in UT? What's the difference in WoW ?

The First Amendment says "Over my dead body" and the Second Amendment guarantees I won't be the only body!

I never post anymore, but I read this and it pissed me off. First off, 'geeks' are not more educated than others. This is the beginnings of holier than thou. Secondly, if you hook something up to someone's dong, they might get aroused by the unusual thing. I don't dispute that there is...

No, it isn't.

I've been a long time [H] reader. I expect straight shooter reviews devoid of bull. And this review was, except for this at the bottom of the part for Oblivion: "Paying close attention to the cobblestone texture on the path in front of the camera, you can easily see that the texture...

I am *plenty* fine with other guns. In fact my best gun is the pump 12 guage which has actually gone down in price. I'm just a little revolted at how out of skew things are becoming. And knowing other weapons doesn't mitigate 2100 for vest + helmet.

Does anyone have a list of good servers that don't have this crap enabled?
