Question is this:
The gigabyte board is setup with a pair of raptors running RAID 0. Is it possible to keep the RAID array intact without having to reinstall windows? IE just unplug the drives, remove the old gigabyte board, put in the new MSI board, setup the raid array in the RAID bios and...
I have been out of the cpu game for a while now and may be forced into upgrading soon.
Other than 100 MHz cpu speed, what is the difference between the 3770 and 3700k and is it worth the extra 60 bucks to go to the K chip.
I'm guessing that the 3770k has an unlocked multiplier maybe...
I built this computer for my mother back in 2005 I'm trying to find out what the case make/model is.

TIA for any help
Just wondering here, has anybody recently bothered to check the AA and AF levels on the newer Nvidia and ATI vid cards like the G92, or 3800 series? Just to ensure that both are maintaining their respective quality levels. IE from the first 8800 GTX article when Nvidia finally managed to pull...
:cool:For those that can't find an E8400, apparently the Intel Xeon E3110 is the identical chip, just with Xeon branding on it. Origional linkage found on the inq.

Just a quick search on google finds that the E3110 is...

Ok, this is kind of a freaky problem that I ran into once before with this board, the owner recently reset the bios and it reared its fugly head again, and I'll be damned if I can figure out how to get around it again.

Just wondering cause I have a friend with one that seems to be running quite hot, and i think theres a posiblity that the thermal compound between the heat spreader and the core has come loose. Temps are hovering in the 85-86 C range and thats after replacing the stock cooler with a VF 700...

Thermaltake V8000 case, Athlon 64 3500+ @ 250x10 for 2500 MHz, X800Pro, 1 GB Corsair PC 4000 Pro, Epox EP9NDA3+ motherboard.
Painted the drives, zalman fanbus, came out not too shabby.
I had a couple of friends of mine build systems on these motherboards in mid 2003, one with and one without the onboard RAID.
Just last week one of them called me on the phone telling me he was having all sorts of problems, had him go into the BIOS and tell me what the CPU temp was...

Prices of ATI's and Nvidia's high-end cards reach record levels
