    Card under $200?

    As much as I root for the underdog(nvidia) - I gotta say this. My gaming machine is a P4 2.8e with 1GB RAM(dual channel) Intel 865mobo. I have the FX5950 in there right now, my primary use machine has a 9800pro. The two cards are incredibly close in benchmarks(Aquamark, Codecreatures, and...

    Card under $200?

    If you are really planning to upgrade again later (and come on this is [H] who isn't?) and you don't want to spend alot. Geforce FX5700Ultra - can be had for like $160 on newegg. Now you've got $40 to put towards the next card when the time comes.

    Bios taking forever to detect IDE drives

    FWIW - I know on WD HD's that there is an undocumented (or at least rarely documented) jumper setting which remedies this problem. ::;;: Look above and put the jumper there on WD's drives that are having this problem. It's the proper setting for a single drive. I've been told this by...

    Just got a 9800pro having some issues

    FWIW - I had a ti4200 a while back that I oc'd the hell out of, it displayed artifacts after I did that. Even when I ran it down at stock speeds, it still did it. I'm sure I caused damage to it, so I eventually just RMA'd it. Now using a 9800pro in one machine, and a 5950U in the other...

    RAID 5 on Epox mobos!

    Software raid5 = bad idea. Spend the money on a decent raid5 controller like the offerings from Promise. I'm currently running six 250GB drives (5 in array 1 as online spare) with a Promise SX6000 w/128MB. Speed is good, unless the array is synchronizing, in which case file access times are...

    How reliable would a Raid 0 setup be?

    I run six WD 250GB Drives in RAID5 on a Promise Supertrak card with 128MB. Yes, the card makes a difference, but I ran four WD 120GB drives on an onboard High Point raid chipset on my Soyo Dragon 333 Ultra Platinum. Never lost the array. Alot can be said for quality components. A properly...

    IDE raid 5 question

    should have knocked on wood I had event logging disabled. Lesson learned - array lost. I am now running with one of the drives configued as a spare - and the event logging is on - thank god for my backups on the old 120GB drives in my closet.

    IDE raid 5 question

    FWIW - I have the SX6000(w/128mb dimm) with six WD 250GB drives, and it has never given me a problem. I ran it with six WD 120's also for a quite a while before without a problem also. Configuration isn't exactly streamlined, but it works. Oh, and from my limited testing 16k is fine for block...

    Antec P160 Case

    Check out the Lian-Li PCV2000B - it costs a little more, but it's the kind of case you are going to want to use for a long long time. I've owned alot of cases over the years - and built plenty for friends, family, and clients. The Lian-Li PCV1000/2000's are pretty much the best designed cases...

    Antec P160 Case

    Yeah, I have this case - don't worry about it. The case comes with two cd rom bezels in it already. You should be fine. I've also got an Inwin Q500N and a Lian-Li PCV2000B. All great cases in differint ways, but the swap of my main box to the Lian-Li case from the Inwin dropped my case/cpu...

    New Doom 3 Easter Egg

    That's one hell of a bug to spawn an enemy on the opposite side of the wall, shake the screen and then make the enemy crawl up the side of the screen - disappearing into the ceiling without collision detection. Comments?? Oh, and that screenshot is great. Where in the game is that?

    New Doom 3 Easter Egg

    How about this easter egg. When you first start, and the guy Marsh gives you your pistol. Use noclip, walk through the wall with the glass he's standing behind and disable the security by clicking on the button on the monitor in the front. Watch out the window as an imp scales the wall and...
