Anyways, thanks guys, there doesn't seem to be much I can do. I am just confused with how much ram is being used, but how it won't tell me what process is using it. I just made a list of essential programs, I am going to do a reinstall. I guess it won't hurt, doing so every so often keeps...

What information do you need from the .cab, I would honestly rather not just post a link to it if I can help it. Not that there is really any sensitive information in it. Oh, and the virus was Hacktool:Win32/PWDump.A

Oh, and the validation site looks completely legit to me. http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/DownloadValidationSupport.aspx?displaylang=en&PartnerID=258&sGuid=87cd8968-28ca-49d4-b878-3fc7b921f7e6

Well, I am running that command line program, and it is "Dumping cache filenames to log..." it has been for a few minutes. Where is this log by the way? I can't find the name of the virus that it detected, when I click History in MSE only shows one virus, and it isn't the one I remember from...

I hadn't ever seen anything like it either, but the website was some place on microsoft.com... All my personal data was on my non-operating system drives, so I guess I can just do a clean install. Though, if the virus is on one of my other drives, will doing a clean install permanently fix it?

I am running Windows 7, and I use Microsoft Security Essentials, and recently (today) my computer has been running terribly. I got home at lunch today, and I had been running a Full Scan overnight, MSE said that it had found one problem. It didn't seem very bad at all, the "threat level" was...

I don't specifically require RAID 5, but I just figured it would be the cheapest way to do it. (fewest drives) I really appreciate all the feedback you guys, but one of my main requirements of the project was that it be cheap. I'm not sure if i was clear about that earlier; furthermore, I...

Can't wait for USB 3.0, will be faster than SATA 3 right?

Yes, that's understandable, but that's what the RAID will hopefully be helpful for. The reason flash might be better is random access times, right?

You think so? I thought they would have good access times. I'm definitely not sure though.

Way too much $, sorry. Thx, but no thx.

I know... I just wanted it to work... so bad. :-)

Maybe this will work: http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsoft.cnews.ru%2Fwindows%2Fsystem%2Fvirtual_disks%2Fvirtuaraid%2F&sl=ru&tl=en if the link doesn't work then here's the original (in russian) http://soft.cnews.ru/windows/system/virtual_disks/virtuaraid/...

Thanks all I guess i'll have to go on my own on this one, I'll post it if i get it working.

What I really want to make is a portable RAID. I need it for databases, so it just has to have fast access times (probably RAID 5), and it must be windows compatible. I've seen people do this before, but not with Windows compatibility, and i'm not sure if theirs are PnP. It would be really...

Cool, everythings working, thank you requiemnoise. :) happy new year!

Will this let me boot Vista, in other words, will it retain the Longhorn GRUB entry?

Thank you, i will try this as soon as i can find my liveCD. :)

I recently installed Ubuntu to dual-boot with Vista, but i didn't like how ubuntu started automatically, so I rewrote the Vista MBR with EasyBCD. Now i can't even access Ubuntu. I just need to know how to configure the Neogrub bootloader. The partitioning is as follows: Local Disk (C: ), HP...

I was just wondering what settings people use on their OC'd 4850s. I would use the Catalyst Overdrive program for any overclocking. Right now i am at 650 Mhz GPU and 1000 Mhz RAM. Also, fan speeds would be helpful.

My friend just ordered this, that's the only reason i know about it. I'm not sure about the quality of the components, but it's sure cheap enough. You could put a 9600GT in it and it wouldn't be that bad at all. At this price, it's not a bad barebones...

I have the Fatal1tys and I really like them and would definitely buy them again, though only at the price I paid. (they were like $30 on sale at Fry's)

Okay thank you very much, i will probably be able to afford the nicer card with the money i would be saving on the cheaper board.

You can continue the thread but i have the hit the sack, i was just waiting for ophcrack to finish downloading. Thank you all for the enlightening discussion.

I have a 21" crt, so i run most of games at 1600*1200 Right now I'm running a Gigabyte P35 board and it's treating me just fine (with the exception of my running out of SATA ports), I was just feeling envious of all the three and four pci-e mobos out there.

Okay thanks, and i wouldn't have "cr[ied] about how multi gpu is a pyramid scheme." becuase i understand that the best you can expect from a multi gpu setup is at least mild performance gains. The only reason i brought up my friend is because he's the only person i know who's tried SLI, and he...

My friend built a system on a really tight budget. His plan was to buy an 8600gt at first and then later buy another one. Well, he got the money, and then the card, and after installing it he benched it, and it performed worse across the board in SLI. I understand that he was using shitty cards...

So, in your opinion, SLI > Crossfire?

I'm planning on buying a new motherboard/ processor soon. I've decided on the Q9550, but the problem is that i can't decide whether to get an Nvidia board or an Intel board. I'm not quite sure if this belongs in the Video thread, but what it really comes down to is whether i should go with SLI...

Usually you need a special cable to get it work with CS, you can't use the old 40pin IDE cable with CS. Also, for CS to work both drives need to have their jumpers set to CS, and i don't know how that would work with a SATA drive.

PC Wiz 2008?

Did you post your budget? I have a Thelmaltake Armor and it's really treated me well. I don't know about new Dells, but my friend had a pretty old XPS, and the mobo fit fine in the old Antec case that i gave him.

For my money I'd go with the Radeon 3870 or the Nvidia 9600 GT, they're comprable cards and about the same price. The 9600 Gt was on sale on Newegg a week ago and my friend bought one, so if it still is, I'd grab it.

Thank you all! I had heard some people say that they didn't use compression fittings because they were to expensive, so i got worried.

First of all, I work at a hardware store. I have frequented the forums for a while and have heard references to "compression fittings", I think these are the fittings that we sell in the plumbing department at my work, I'm not sure though. Also, we sell vinyl tubing, could that be used for a...

What do you mean posting at? If you were referring to the BIOS POST, then it doesn't actually say my cpu voltage, my POST says that i am running at 3.06 Ghz, and my ram is at 900 Mhz.

I looked at my processor voltage in PC Wiz 2008 and according to it, my processor is at 1.213v. isn't that a little low? I think i might have accidentally set it to auto when i was in my BIOS last. Also my RAM timings are ridiculously slow, 5-6-6-17! For RAM that is usually run at 4-4-4-12...

Well, I traded in the RAM for a gaming headset so this thread shouldn't really be in this board, but who really cares. My configuration is as follows: Gigabyte Ga-P35-DS3L Intel E2160 ( @ 3.06 Ghz) 2GB G.Skill RAM PC-6400 ( @ ~900 Mhz) Powercolor Radeon X1650 Corsair 600 watt PSU...

Ahhhh! i really hope it isn't my motherboard, i can't afford to deal with that right now, i have a gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L. It would suprise me if it was the motherboard seeing as it gave me no problems before the RAM install. Also, new symptoms; after about 30 mins of use the mouse stops...

I posted in a similar thread last night. So then i got memtest and started it before i went to to sleep. This morning when i woke up and looked at the results i saw that memtest got "stuck" after four minutes. So i ran it again, this time it passed. Which brings me to the question that...
