    Dead Pixels? Worry no more! Well almost

    I don't know why a QC person can't just count the number of dead/stuck pixels a particular monitor has, and then put that particular LCD monitor in a "grade". Like A, B, C or D grade and then let the consumer decide if they want to pay a premium for a Grade A monitor with zero defects. Some...

    Budget Xeon setup

    Seems like that Asus PC-DL is missing some good stuff like PCI-X. Would be nice to at least have one PC-X slot.

    Please tell me if this controller will work with this scsi drive

    That kinda sux. :eek: If I knew a solution I'd give it. I have the original Asus P4PE with Award bios that does allow booting from different sources.

    Please tell me if this controller will work with this scsi drive

    It really is as simple as plugging it in if you are using Windows XP.* If you are doing a fresh install of XP, you won't have to load any SCSI drivers off a floppy during the first part of the install (press F6 not necessary). The drivers are built into XP. In fact on my other machine, I had...

    Please tell me if this controller will work with this scsi drive

    I have a similar setup, a 73Gb 15k U320 Fujitsu & a LSIU160 controller in my main box. You won't regret it, and you will wonder why you waited so long getting one. One thing you may want is a Vantec Vortex hard drive cooler. My 15k runs very hot & keeping it cool will definitely prolong it's...

    I thought only 74 GB hdd's could be 10krpm

    SCSI133Mhz, 64-bit PCI-X interface has theoretical maximum xfer rates up to 1066Mbytes/sec. And then there is fiber channel. The technology exists to make 10k IDE or SATA drives. The reason why Western Digital is the only mfr with SATA 10k rates is that they don't have a SCSI line that would...

    Problems with Audigy 2 - is the ZS any better?

    Have you tried disabling onboard lan and say, using a 3com NIC? Or maybe try setting PCI latency to 64. I have a bunch of PCI cards in my main computer and it helped me to disable onboard LAN & use a 10/100 3com card. Does your computer have a solid name brand power supply? System spex...

    Questions about LSI SCSI card on Ebay

    Hi, I currently use LSIU160 controller cards in 2 of machines. One has a 73Gb Fujitsu U320 15K 68pin SCSI drive and the other uses a 36Gb Seagate 10k.6 68pin SCSI drive (both boot drives). I'm looking at a new U320 controller card even though the mobo's I'm using are regular 33Mhz 32bit PCI...

    dfrgntfs.exe starts up on it's own on o/c'ed P4 1.6>2.4

    Bump! Plus here is something else that relates to this issue. The Asus P4B doens't have a PCI/AGP bus frequency lock, so the more the board is overclocked, the higher the PCI/AGP bus goes. When I overclock 145Mhz FSB or higher, when I play a DVD on either DVD-ROM (see system spex in first...

    Things that I've had to do to get rid of the same problem: 1. uninstall primary or secondary ide channel in device manager and let it reinstall. Reboot then let Windows reinstall ide channel & devices attached to it. 2. stop using round cables and go back to flat 80-conductor flat ribbon...
