    How to boot memtest86+?

    I physically disconnected my hard drive and I am still unable to boot memtest. I'm guessing I'm not writing the iso right, but there seems to be only one way to go about writing it. Load nero burning rom, cancel the wizard, select burn image under the recorder drop-down menu, navigate to...

    How to boot memtest86+?

    I tried: Downloading the compressed iso file, unzipping the iso file, burning the iso file, and selecting boot from CD-ROM in bios settings. Nevertheless, I'm greeted with a vista boot from harddive instead... :confused: Anyone care to post a fool-proof walk-through with nero 8 burning...

    Extremely great post! I'm having the same issue with the mic on my Razer. Well, I'll try to pick up these items over the weekend and post back in a few days how it went. Thanks much:)

    Take it I'm all good to go at this point? No need for fan controllers or raid controllers? Any additional accessories I'll need to put things together and such?

    New Gaming Rig, Help Appreciated.

    Just to check in on whether I'll need a different power supply, can it handle everything I'll be running? DS3R 8800 Ultra 6600 Quad Barracuda (x2) Scythe Rev B SilenX (x1) Yate Loon D12SL (x7) 4GB RAM Audio Card Here (sometime in the future) Physics Card Here (sometime in the future)...

    Don't want to do any cutting on first build ;) Gonna go with the ninja + fan combo then. As for the additional fans for the case, SilenX or S-Flex good to go there as well? I don't want to make my room sound like a wind tunnel with using a ton of loud fans :p

    Well I'm loving all the extra fans the CM supports. Wouldn't a Zalman 9700 (90 x 124 x 142mm) / 9500 (85 x 112 x 125mm) + 4 extra side panel fans beat out the TT? Any better ideas here? Also the extra fans will help to cool on the memory and video card, while the TT only cools the cpu... Such...

    Actually, instead of looking for another case, what would be the next best cooler that would fit? The TT seems like it just nearly misses so I don't think it'd have to be too much shorter to squeeze in.

    What I meant with the raid question was if there was a noticeable difference with 2 drives in raid 0 vs 8 drives in raid 0. Besides a much larger chance of array failure. Any ideas on a case that'll fit the TT without having to uninstall fans, leaving doors open, or leaving a side panel off...

    Starting to finalize the list (https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/Wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=8084467&WishListTitle=MATT) As regards to the Ultra, I'm fairly confident that the 9200s and such won't surpass it soon enough to warrant waiting around for them and once they do...

    Razor Audio, All That's Cracked Up To Be?

    Looking around for gaming audio options and came across a couple Razor reviews claiming the sound card and headset to be the top of the line for gaming audio, however before spending $300 I wanted to know if there is just as good for less.

    After researching the RAID levels, I'm going to just stick to raid0. I've never had a HD crash before so it must be a pretty rare under normal circumstances and just use my 2G flash drive for backing up important files and just use install disks to recover applications and such. Still...

    Need Case + Cooling Ideas

    Here is what I plan on putting into the case, as well as a CD drive and a DVD drive which writes (salvaged from current PC) Also take into consideration the possibility of all 3 PCI slots being used in the future...

    New Gaming Rig, Help Appreciated.

    So everything is taken care of except cases I believe. I'll need a lot of space and a lot of cooling. Right off the bat, I'll have the hard drive, memory, video card, and sound card to cool. So I expect things will get pretty hot in there. Quick question: does the DS3R support raid5? Read...

    Reason I went with that RAM was because a few people mentioned that the DQ6 was kinda picky about the RAM however Corsair works fine. Since I'll just go with a different mobo I'll switch RAM as well. And actually there is a Fry's in y area. Have to look at what they've got on sale before I order...

    Well, it seems I've got a beta invite for Hellgate: London so I'll need this up and running sooner than expected. From input I've changed to: Mobo - GIGABYTE GA-P35-DQ6 HD - Seagate Barracuda ES ST3320620NS x2 RAM - CORSAIR XMS2 DDR2 800 Further input? Will I need any additional pieces of...

    New Gaming Rig, Help Appreciated.

    First thing worth mentioning is that I've never build a PC before and therefore I'm very open to others' input. Secondly, the focus of this PC is to be as "future proofed" as possible so that I only have to focus on upgrading one piece at a time in the future. As far as how good I want it to be...
