Awesome guys, thanks! This is very true, but I guess for the sake of satisfying my paranoia, I wanted to run it for awhile at idle to test things like the HSF to make sure it was seated properly. I thought for sure that the 34C to 36C I was getting meant something was wrong. It's my first...

So I just put together a system based around the Phenom II X6 1090T.... I plan on overclocking it, but first I wanted to do some testing and CPU burn in at stock speeds so I can see if my HSF will be up to the task. Specs: ASUS Crosshair IV Formula AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Thermalright...

OK... I think I'm convinced. Just found a few other snippets on the intartubes regarding systems with similar specs as the one I'm building that have power consumption numbers that jive more with the 500 to 600 watt estimate. So, I've set my sights on something a bit less monstrous but still...

Well, assuming 728 watts is a semi-accurate number, it's even been posted here in these forums that a PSU lasts longest, runs the coolest, and runs the quietest typically around 40% to 60% power consumption (I can't find the exact post at the moment... I just read it today...found it in a Google...

I'm building a new rig and need some advice on what PSU to use to power the whole thing. This will be the most powerful rig I've built for myself so far, so some of this is new territory which is part of the reason I'm having so much trouble deciding. Here's the specs: - AMD Phenom II x6...

Memory Express has prices which are competitive or, in some cases, better than NCIX (hard drives especially). And if you live nearby to one of their stores, it only makes sense to go pick the item up and have it immediately (even if it does cost a couple more bucks). I've also heard that...

6 or more qualifies for a replacement.

I'm hoping it's a driver issue and not a monitor issue. Drivers are something that can be fixed easily or easily tested for flaws... it's easier and less hassle to replace drivers than it is to replace the monitor. In some respects, it almost seems like a driver issue. I've only encountered...

As per a previous post in this thread, Vista users should be all fixed up. The scaling problem still exists on Windows XP however... I too have been waiting for a fix for this. I would like to play some older 4:3 aspect games. I'm still using older drivers that have broken scaling. I'd use...

I thought I had found a solution to mine, but apparently, after a week of not showing up, it showed up again yesterday... twice the screen blanked on me for about 1 second each time and about 1 second in between. It would certainly be more annoying if it happened more often, but it's not...

I also encountered the blackout problem, but only after switching to a better quality DVI cable. The blackout would occur randomly but about once a day and would last for 1 to 2 seconds as others have described. I tried different drivers, tried the "changing sync polarities to positive" thing...

I'll give you as much information as I can provide. I'm only using this monitor for my PC so I'm only using the DVI-D input. It happened randomly though mostly when I was playing Supreme Commander, though that's all I have been doing on my system lately. I'm doing some testing right now...

Well, there were no blackouts today either. Well, there was a short one lasting less than about a half second, but I was adjusting video options inside Supreme Commander at the time so I can't be sure that this last one may not have actually been caused when I applied the changes. I guess it...

Ya, it's completely random, and ya I'm using XP (I'm not moving to Vista for awhile yet). However, after thinking back, the period that this blackout problem had started happening was just after I had swapped out the DVI cable that came with the monitor for a high quality Monster DVI cable. I...

Well, I tried creating a custom timing profile in the NVidia control panel and I still got the blank screen thing. I've now switched everything back to defaults, including using the cable that came with the monitor instead of the expensive Monster cable I bought. Dang, just when I thought I...

I know this is an older post I'm replying to, but I'm curious, has anyone else tried this? Does it really work? I think I have just encountered the "black out" problem with my new FP241WZ. It's happened twice so far in the 4 days I've owned this monitor... both times with drivers that I had...

When I was ordering my 3007, I just told them that I am REALLY interested in the monitor, but not interested in the price. I said that I've been watching the sales and know they offered it for lower at earlier times and asked when the next sale was going to be. The sales rep said that he could...

I had eye candy turned on...all sorts.. at near max levels and I was still getting great frame rates. But I do admit, Oblivion while graphically intensive, might not be the game you're using as a baseline for "eye candy" and could still benefit a lot from SLI. Ya, as soon as I get enough cash...

Just a question, but which XP NVidia drivers had working scaler options? Or was there ever one? I recently installed an older game and needed it to scale properly. When I went into the NVidia control panel and selected the proper scaling option, the control panel wouldn't save the option...

Srsly, you need to do some brushing up on your knowledge. I have a Dell 3007WFP-HC 30" LCD running at 2560x1600 and it's hooked into my SINGLE 8800GTS... not only that, it's using ONE of the TWO dual link DVI ports available on the card. I have played Oblivion at 2560x1600 at near full...

Well, let's just say the buzzing on this A03 doesn't bother me as much as the dead pixels (the buzzing is actually quite controllable by adjusting the brightness down a bit), but since they don't give replacements for anything less than 6 dead pixels (according to the little information I found...

Both exist. Like I said in an earlier post in this thread, I have an A03. They even sent me an A02 refurb when I complained about the buzzing issue on this A03. On an additional note, so far, I'm not 100% impressed. I called Dell, and after getting transfered around the planet, I finally...

I wouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions. I just got my 3007WFP-HC yesterday... it's also Rev. A03. I'll concede that there's at least a small chance that a mistake was made when printing the labels... but since there is no proof of that, as far as I'm concerned, I've got a Rev. A03. On...

According to Wikipedia, max NTFS volume size is 256TB. Max File size is 16TB. I had my doubts about 2TB being the max as I just got to thinking my single volume RAID array (basic disk... not dynamic) is slightly larger than 2TB on an Areca ARC-1120 controller. Of course I'm using 64-bit Win...

You may want to read onsale.com's return policy before you buy... it's linked at the bottom of their page. Some interesting tidbits in there... like the very first line (emphasis added by me): Sorta almost says you're screwed if you have dead pixel problems unless you try an RMA through HP...

I am assuming that because all 3 systems are XP that you are running NTFS, correct? If so, have you modified the NTFS folder permissions on your shares at all?

Funny, I've always used it to rebuild the master boot record in the past, including partition tables IIRC... or maybe I was imagining it.

Ya, "FDISK /MBR". The /MBR switch does nothing but rebuild the MBR (in case you were worried about FDISK doing something else to your drive or partitions).

Cool! Thanks Marty! I'm anxious to try this out myself now!

So I assume you're running OSX in the VMs you're using perhaps? The only reason I ask is that of all the virtualization packages I've seen, most don't do more than 2 processor SMP and pretty much all only support 32-bit guest OSes. (Of course, that's just what I understand... I may be wrong.)

Ya, but Marty mentioned he was using a "VM SMP client"... Like chemist_slime, I too am curious which virtualizer he's running it under and what guest OS he's using.

ROFL! :D :p

I'm currently attending a tech. college where I am learning a lot of the content to challenge the MCSE certification exams... we use virtualized servers configured on virtual networks on each of our individual class PCs to be able to play around with and configure the servers and not actually...

Some of the other virtualization offerings that I know of out there: - Virtual PC 2004 (free download from Microsoft... will run on WinXP... pretty much a virtualization platform for desktop/workstation computers) - Virtual Server 2005 (also free from Microsoft... requires IIS and I believe...

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot, but I used to see SMP WUs on the project list with point values of 1100+ or 1200+, now they are all 587 points per... is this right? Did Stanford lower the point values for SMP units?

Sorry, my mistake.... sounded an awful lot like RAID 0+1 to me though. I stand corrected.

You're right... I guess I did overlook some of the other diseases that are also currently being researched because of this project.... and I'm not discounting the possibility that I or another friend or family member will be affected in some way by any one of these afflictions. Nonetheless, I...

I can't say that I or my family has ever had cancer. One of my grandmothers developed a case of alzheimers, but that's about the worst of it. That being said, I don't really fold for my benefit. No. I fold for the people out there that aren't as fortunate. I fold knowing that what I'm doing...

I will also be sad to see you go even though I've only been folding with the [H] for a short while. But good luck wherever you end up and fold on!

I've only really been folding with the [H] for a little while, but I'm sorry to see you go. :( Good luck and don't be a stranger.
