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...

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...

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)...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

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.

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...

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

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...

First, they said they used Vista for the benchmarks. Good choice, since Microsoft has likely been pouring a lot of programmer sweat into taking better advantage of multiple threads. However, Kentsfield is slated to be released around the same time as Vista. So lets see some 4x4 benchmarks on an...

Not to derail the thread...but does anyone know if they will be changing sockets/chipsets for kentsfield? What I'm wondering is maybe I should get DDR2-1000, that way if they release a kentsfield with a 1333 FSB, I could still overclock the RAM to say 400 MHz, and still have the overhead you...

Ok so if I'm understanding this correctly... If I bought an E6700 (266x10 = 2660 MHz), I could go as low as DDR2-667 and still be able to OC to 3.3 GHz (667/2 = 333 x 10 = 3330 MHz) at a 1:1 ratio. I really want to get CAS 3 memory (I know it probably won't make that much of a difference but...

Honestly the matlab folks are pretty lame. They won't even add multithreaded support to matlab, so all these enginerds running around with 4+ core workstations don't get any benefit. I don't see them adding PhysX support, it's going to have to be something either done by the community or by Ageia

Trying to decide on a motherboard for a 4800+, 2GB DDR, 7800 GTX build. Does anyone know if anyone has done any benchmarks on keeping every component the same, just changing the motherboard from something like an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe and the A8N32-SLI Deluxe? I will be adding a second 7800 GTX to...

Let me know what you guys think of this...I have a Sony GDM-FW900 24" Widescreen CRT waiting in a box for a beast to run it...hoping to game on it at 1920x1200 with max effects and some AA/AF (I'm behind on games, need to play through Far Cry, Half-Life 2, Doom 3, etc) Antec Super Lanboy Case...

I'm building a gaming machine (4000+, 7800GTX, etc) looking to overclock it but I'm going silent (Freezer64 or Zalman CPNS9500 cooler, Seasonic S12-600 PS, etc) so I want a case that has 1 intake and 1 exhaust 120mm spots for fans so I can run low-speed and get decent airflow with low volume...

If you have an Audigy 2 ZS platinum, would it be possible to use the I/O drive from that with the new X-Fi?

Yes, I know the Dell's are LCD's. I'm just looking for a kickass gaming experience. I wouldn't run it at its max resolution, I would run it most likely at the same as the 2405, which is 1920x1200, and with that I can get a flicker-free refresh rate of 85Hz. Plus I will be able to use...

http://www.azatek.com/details.asp?iid=786 I am thinking about getting one of these guys for my new gaming comp. It's an HP A7217A which is just the Sony GDM-FW900 rebadged by HP. I am looking for anyone's opinions on this monitor. The reviews I have found say it is very good. I would like to...
