I was reading Monday, March 31 about someone getting "fired", everyone watching them pack. They had left the poor guy a note under his windshield wiper -- "April Fool's!" My boss left me an e-mail April 1 morning about 8:30. "We need to talk today about some changes I must make." I waited...

http://www.modstomp.com/forum/index.php?topic=5.0 WOW that was awesome.

Going to try the new Forceware drivers that were released today. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

It's not overclocked, and I have never done that to this card. However, I guess I could try UNDERCLOCK it and see if I get any improvement?

The squares stay put in the sky, but when I rotate, different squares appear, and previous squares get filled in with texture. I just noticed, however, it's maybe not JUST the sky? See how in the first picture part of the building in the background is obscured by the white box? I don't know...

It's a P4 2.8 CPU. I _HAVE_ overclocked this processor highly -- had it up to 3.4 at one point, but I have been running it stock the last year or so. Hmmmm... I do know Source is VERY CPU intensive... Perhaps I swap out the CPU and see what happens? Gonna have to probably go to eBay for...

Here is what happens -- LARGE PIC WARNING! Image 1 Image 2

Okay it's a NO-GO on having temperature available to me. Looks like my 6600GT is one of those that has temp monitoring disabled in the card BIOS/firmware. I found some instructions for fixing that, but I'm too lazy. :) I don't have a floppy drive, and trying to make a boot CD to do that...

Let's see, I have a Compaq S910 monitor. I think just a plain jane 19" CRT display. It's an Intel 865 chipset board. I think Gigabyte made it. 1 GB of RAM Pentium 4 2.8 (800fsb) I turned off hyperthreading, hoping it would improve things, but it has not made a difference. Going to...

I have a 6600GT AGP from eVGA. I have started playing a little Counterstrike Source, and having lots of trouble with it. I get white blocks in the sky when a portion of the sky is visible on outdoor maps. I've also had problems with losing models. All of a sudden, none of the player models...

Not worth it then if they want 50 bucks for a restocking fee. Just set 'em up and be done with it! Good choice, then.

Agreed. Plus you're doubling your chances for a disk failure by striping.

Raptor X has 750k hour MTBF, and the standard Raptor 150 has a 1.5 million hour MTBF. I don't know the performance difference. Again, perhaps Storagereview.com knows..

You're talking to a bunch of guys who fantasize about being able to build a system like you're building. You're asking what WE would do in your situation. Most agree they'd return the drives and get a single 150. We don't care what you end up doing in the end. You will do what you will do...

I did NOT know that! And I just went out and confirmed on Google. How cool is that!??

I don't know what you're talking about. Did some techie at a Computer Superstore tell you that? As long as you provide a driver during install, Windows will see the drive and format it appropriately. Do remember that many hard drive manufacturers base their "megabytes" off of one million...

I know, why not return them and go buy eleventy 20 GB hard drives and STRIPE the whole thing? Because, heck, more drives must be faster, right??? Who cares that you'll be able to heat your home, and make the power sag in your neighborhood -- you'll have the bestest! Now it will be...

Here is a link to an older article about the G5. It was done by a Video Editing mag, so it's heavy on the After Effects, Photoshop stuff. http://www.digitalvideoediting.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=25633 For the price, they aren't too bad! You'd have to get a dual Opteron or Xeon to...
