    Intel X25-M RAID0 benches

    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...

    RAID boot drive in Vista64 does chkdsk on nearly every 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...

    SN26P + 8800GTX

    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...

    7900GT noisy/loud?

    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...

    lupy h2o project

    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...

    7800GTX in an SN25P

    See the pics I posted in this thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1027855136&postcount=79 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...

    Windows XP Pro x64

    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...

    HP L2335 23" 16ms... sweet

    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...
