Didn't play that much, but here is what I got, with my 4x VR300's in comparison. Both on Areca ARC-1222.
X25-M's going into a Sans Digital InstaSTOR IS12TB 3.5" enclosure. Cool little enclosure.
Here's the downside... a bit slow on the writes, no? But since this is just my boot...
I have an Asus P5E3 Premium with an Areca ARC-1222 controller, and 4x VR300's in RAID0 as my boot drive. My issue is that Vista keeps doing a chkdsk on boot, and having to recover descriptors and all kinds of stuff most times I boot up the system. Happens more when I restart the machine than...

Mythic is going to cut 4 of 6 capital cities, 4 character classes (two of which are main tanks for their race) and who knows what else, all in order to make the November ship date. My pre-order...
Finally got my system up and time to run some HD Tune benches.

Posting from this system right now. It runs just fine idle in any case. :D
I'll be back with results from the system under load... or not... depends on if this little PSU can take it. I hope so... has 44a in 12v rails. Just a matter of whether or not there are enough watts to go around...
Hisghest FSB SuperPi 1M stable. Higher than what I heard could be done, but still far short of the 975X. Have not tried 350fsb @ 1:1 yet.
Running prime at these settings now.
Misc pic's:
I currently have two eVGA 7800GT CO's, which are frickin' loud. Can anyone who has a 7900GT comment on the noise? Are they quiet? Please list brand/model and your impressions of how loud or quiet it is.
Basically, thinking of doing the eVGA step-up program to get 7900GT's, but only if they...
Okay, got's a lot's a pic's, so I figured I'd trow a project up and see where it takes me (hopefully to completion...).
Project goal: build and uber 1337 water cooled rig that'll likely never move anywhere after it's forklifted to the desk. (I'm used to small and light, relatively)
List of...
Just arrived today from the good old UK of A (err... Atlantic?). I kid, I kid...
And yes, that's plural you saw in the title... and the answer to the question is yes, when you're insane, you are fully aware of it. :p :D

This card actually fits, amazingly enough. The capacitor on the very back of the card will get pushed forward a smidge, but this seems quite alright. Also, the PCB at the end of the card...
Installed XP Pro x64 final (MSDN baby :D) to my SLI system... so far so blah... drivers, drivers, drivers. That is going to be the #1 problem for a while.
Chipset:
Nvidia nForce 4 - drivers work (no problems so far, not using RAID)
Graphics:
Nvidia 6800GT SLI - no SLI yet (this sucks...
Revised, with new pricing for components. Photos added! Forgot to take a pic of the P4C800 though, its always something....

Damn, sorry Asus, but if this board shows up in retail before you fix your bios, you are going to be replaced. :D

A litle high at $775, but good to see it on the shelf already.
Where is nForce 4? I am so ready to upgrade. :D
Just got this bad boy and hooked it up (yeah I know I could have had 2x 2001FP's for less... but I wanted to be different). :p :D
FarCry is choppy @ 1920x1200... but I'm certain it isn't the display. (where's my 6800U?) :D UT2k4 runs great @ 1920x1200.
So far, no problems...
2" thick?!?!?! When I first saw the picture I thought it was on a docking station, nope, that's just how thick the damned thing is. Ack! Whatever happened to making these damned things smaller and lighter...
