    Encrypted Raid 5 Array Recovery

    Ya, i had a 4th identical 500gb drive that i tried to rebuild too. There simply isn't any option in the matrix manager; even marking the extra drive as a "spare" did nothing, it just says "failed" array. Here's what intel had to say, very encouraging......... Nice to see they admit that intel...

    DVD-R DL User Experiences vs DVD+R DL

    I've been using Verbatim DVD-R SL and DVD+R DL's for several years now. I can't recall ever getting a single coaster or having playback issues. For DL disks i think +R is better for compatibility. Also because of the added.....complexity of DL disks, buying from a quality brand like Verbatim is...

    well the ddr2 voltage was at its default 1.8v, i upped it +0.4v and lowered the timings, and guess what? The whole system is working PERFECTLY now! No stuttering, just silky smooth speed. I still need to mess with the fan setting but i used coretemp to check the temps during a game of tf2...

    GA-P35-DS3R System Stutters and other problems

    I have disabled the onboard sound and the mouse stutter was definately still noticeable. I get my x-fi card today so i'll give that test another try. If the mem voltage thing doesn't fix it ill run those tests (prolly run them either way) I played the crysis demo for an hour or so and the fps...

Instead of a bang bang i get a bbbbbang bbbbaannng. The mouse stutters...
