    PCI-E SATA 2 card for Raid - 0

    Looking to run raid on non raid board & looking for an inexpensive solution. I am using the 16x port for a video card. & have four 1x ports free to use. I'm guessing the 1x port should be enough to run 2 HDDs in Raid - 0? I've normally run onboard raid on most of my rigs, so not too...

    AMI BIOS

    I haven't used AMD for quite a few years. So I have no idea which boards use which BIOS anymore. I'd prefer a board that uses PHX award BIOS & not AMI BIOS. Anyone know which board makers still use this BIOS? MSI/Asus/Gigabyte ... any of them really. Looking for an AM3 board to grab an AMD...

    ATi 5770 Dual Monitor issue

    I'm guessing off the bat that my second DVI port is dead. I have no way of checking the HDMI port or display port. Since I don't have a HDMI TV or monitor to hook up to it. I did disable the HDMI audio in the control panel audio. BUt other than that, I haven't done anything else. Bought a second...

    DiRT2 first thoughts

    Game is absolutely gorgeous on a DX11 card. I'm currently using a ATi 5870 w/ 9.11 drivers. I downloaded it off steam & it runs pretty good. On some of the tracks the steering seems a little sluggish. Might be by design though. I'm sure there's different steering characteristics on different...
