Oldfart, I'm pretty sure mine is not an original Samsung. It has their chips though. Just try your RAM at a higher voltage with faster settings. It wouldn't hurt. I just wish I had Nate420's CPU. I'm happy with mine though. Others are not so lucky.
Hey lung, E-Compuvision carries the 4BDA and 4BDA2+. If you live in the GTA they will even deliver to your house the same night for $10. I have had no problems dealing with them. I got the 4BDA from them and it rocks. You gotta love the AGP/PCI lock. I woulda went with the Asus but the...
<< why the hell don't review sites zoom in on the freaking burst readings, fricken retards >>
Because it's the sustained data transfer rate that matters in real world performance, you retard.
Sustained transfer rate (STR) is more important than read burst speed (RBS) when it comes to hard drive performance. You will notice an increase in STR whereas you may or may not notice an increase in RBS (in real world performance). STR in today's hard drives (IDE)doesn't even come close to...
I need a definitive answer on this. No, "I think so" or "it should". If you've got this hard drive running at 145Mhz FSB or higher, I want to hear from you. Or, you can tell me what the highest FSB you got this HD running at, stably.
I don't know about your problem but my Acer 1610a was giving me random bad burns (with the same media) after only a few months of use. So I got rid of it. Even with firmware updates, the drive was still flaky with packet writing software. It was not one of my better purchases. I replaced it...
I believe the problem with this drive is with Abit mbs. But you have an ECS so I don't know. You can try updating your firmware but I don't know if it'll help.
What makes the MCX462 tops in my books is that it will fit on any motherboard because of its scaled down size as well as being the best cooler. No more worries of, "Will it fit?", when shopping for a new motherboard.
