    Workstation motherboard

    Well after searching for hours, I'm wondering if this will work. I noticed Intel just announced their new 45nm procs, so I may wait for the Xeon flavor of those to come out. Of course, Tyan was quick to show its new line-up of compatible motherboards...

    Workstation motherboard

    Ok, I'm putting together a pretty insane desktop workstation/server setup. It needs to be dual socket 771, I'm putting in 2 Xeon 5365's (8x3GHz cores woo!), 16GB of RAM (8x2GB sticks), and am planning on running 8 Maxtor Atlas 15K II 147GB 15,000RPM SAS drives in a RAID 0+1 setup, but will...

    Random Question (help me choose a career path)

    Not sure if this is the right forum...or if there is one. Anyway, on to the point. I want to work on research projects that involve the brain and electronics. Things like controlling robots with the brain for artificial limbs, achieving true virtual reality (like The Matrix kind of shit)...

    P5W DH Dlx power issues

    I'm a little vexxed by how my motherboard is acting...my system is built and works just fine powered up (E6600, 2GB Patriot DDR800, 7950GT, Raptor). When it's off and I push the power button, the fans spin up and lights turn on and whatnot, but there is no video, and about 6 seconds later it...

    Thoughts about the multi-display set from the movie Swordfish...

    Going to school to be an electrical engineer...when doing projects in matlab for my linear systems course I could have definitely used a couple displays. Getting a spec sheet maximized on one, the lab procedure on another, my matlab workspace on the main screen, word doc on another, and of...

    Weird P5WDHDlx problem (USB)

    Ok, I have a Logitech G15 and G5. Whenever I reboot my computer, they won't work. In fact, no USB devices will work. So I have to restart with a PS/2 keyboard, and then I navigate into control panel and uninstall the USB2 driver from device manager. It then automatically reinstalls itself and...

    C2D and SLI...looking for benchmarks

    I think I am just going to bite the bullet and pick up an Asus P5W DH Deluxe with an E6700. I want it to be practically silent, so I'm thinking about going with a Reserator 2 to cool the CPU and Northbridge. For video cards, I was thinking the new XFX 7950GT that is passively cooled would give...

    Modifying Zalman CNPS9500?

    Am I missing something here? If your proc idles at ambient that's as low as you can go without water or high end cooling...

    Looking for simplicity. Reserator 2?

    I'm going to be pulling the trigger on my new gaming system soon (C2D E6600, 2GB DDR2, Raptor, SLI or Crossfire solution). I was originally going to go with a Zalman 9500 for the CPU, and whatever stock coolers on the video cards. I've decided I'd really like to go silent though. Does anyone...

    Help me with my E6600 build.

    Honestly not to call you out nooh but he's not gonna see better performance with RAID over the raptor. Maybe if he had like 128MB of memory and was forcing constant page file accesses, or was editing huge video files that were too big for memory. But when it comes to everyday multitasking and...

    Will 600W be futureproof?

    Looking to get the Seasonic S12-600 for its quietness. I'll be getting an E6600, 7950GX2, 2GB DDR2, 1xRaptor. Will it be enough power if I were to upgrade to Kentsfield, and possibly go SLI in the future?

    which one SLI or Crossfire

    Uh, you don't need a special SLI card to run SLI...simply two of the same video cards. One of the reasons ATI needs to get a clue.

    Are any releases rumoured in the next couple months?

    I know consumer Vista isn't supposed to be released till at least 2007. My plan is to buy my system near the end of August, I'll probably go with a 7950GX2. I want to go DX10 but don't want to pay for an entire new video card so I'm hoping to buy an eVGA and step up within 3 months. Do we...

    Creative Soundcard front audio jack bs?

    I can definitely hear the difference between onboard sound and my Creative X-Fi...but then again I have 300 dollar headphones.

    AMD and ATI merger rumors starting to look true

    So? Why does everyone think that automatically disqualifies Intel from wanting nVidia? Look at it from a positive Intel perspective, "hey we can offload all of our onboard graphics development to nVidia, and work with them to create a chipset that works flawlessly with SLI". Intel knows they...
