Advice on Drive Manangement

Here is my current HD setup: Drive 1 C - 10GB primary partition (almost full) D - 280GB secondary partition (about 50GB free) Drive 2 E - 290GB Drive 3 F - 465GB My problem is that my primary C partition (which I thought was a good idea at the time) frequently fills up. I've moved...

New Build Won't POST

Vista Install

I have a new core 2 Duo E6600 with 2GB Ram that I just built. I was going to install Windows XP in the next couple days, but I just got an email that Vista is available. Since this is a brand new and clean install would it be better to wait a couple days to install Vista or just upgrade from...

e6600 Overclock

I'm about to start the OC process on my e6600. I am using a P5B Deluxe and PC-800 Super Talent Ram with 4-4-3-8 timings. To oversimplify things, it would seem that most people are able to get the e6600 to 3.2-3.6ghz. Would starting with FSB 400 x 9 multiplier and Vcore of 1.45, and Ram of...

RAID Question

So what would be better if price were not an obstacle? 1) Get a 3rd 320GB Seagate 7200.10 and run a total of 3 drives in RAID 5 - what is the total storage space in RAID 5? Is it 66% of the system total due to the parity? - This would be the cheaper option 2) Get a separate WD Raptor...

RAID Question

2 of the drives are 320GB Seagate 7200.10. I have several choices for the third drive. If needed, I can use another 320GB drive. I also have a 250GB 7200.9 and a few smaller drives yet. My thought was that I could benefit from the speed of the 2 320gb's in RAID-0 for reading/writing with...

RAID Question

Just a quick question about RAID. I have never run a RAID array before. I just bought components for a new system including 2 320 GB 7200.10 drives. With RAID is it possible to run the 2 320GB drives in a RAID array and use another (3rd) drive to run the system? I guess the main question...

Need advice over new build (January/Early Feb time)

I just built a system under nearly the same guidelines except I don't intend to do hard core gaming. I do a lot of work with Photoshop, digital photography, and some DV video editing. I researched my system for about 6 weeks before finally submitting my order. Here is what I decided upon...

Athlon64 3000 to C2D E6400

Looks like the e6400 is about 2x FPS faster: http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html?modelx=33&model1=508&model2=433&chart=165 CF

Post your GPU History

I clearly don't buy a card that often, but...I DO get to see a huge performance change upon upgrade. Diamond Monster3D II GeForce 2 GTS ATI Radeon 9800 Pro flashed to XT BFG 7950 GT

MONSTER system, is a E6600 enough?

#1 I think your CPU choice is fine #2 if you dropped a load on all the other components, what held you back intially on the CPU. It's like buying a new Porsche and getting the smaller engine.

Any tips from Lian Li A10 Owners

All of my components arrive today and I was wondering if anyone out there who owns this case had any tips or pitfalls prior to installation of all the hardware. Thanks, just trying to be proactive.

Need a new case for the New Year!

I took the side fan out of the case because I have a gigantic CPU cooler and it was a little tight. My graphics card (7950 GT) fits. I'm not sure about the newer 8800s, but the case is made with SLI in mind. Here's a good review. With the Side Fan Removed View of Mobo Tray and Side...

Need a new case for the New Year!

I just got done assembling a new system with somewhat similar specs. I opted to spend more and go with the Lian Li PC-A10B. Quiet and cool with excellent reviews. At first the price seemed ridiculous, but the more I read, the more sold I was. The new Silverstone TJ-09 is also very nice...
