So I bought the Samsung Spinpoint F1 750GB SATA-II drive recently, it's connected to an Abit AB9 Pro with the ICH8R southbridge and there seem to be a few issues.
1. According to HD Tune, the drive is running in UDMA5 ATA100 mode, when it says the supported mode is UDMA7.
How do I get...
I received my Intel Retail Bundle yesterday and it's been nothing but a headache.
Intel DG965WH Mobo + C2D E6300. I also got a 2GB kit of OCZ 800Mhz DDR2 RAM.
I couldin't even install windows xp or the vista rc1 that came with the bundle. It would either freeze, gfx would get screwed up...
I remember a news post on the [H] about a 60GB RAM harddrive for about $64,000 a few years ago. Have there been any real world benchmarks done on one of these drives? I would be very interested to see how long it would take to load up windows or a BF2 level (verifying client data? Screw you!).
