Thanks for the responses guys. I decided to pass on that RAM since it's an oversized module and wouldn't have fit side by side w/ my other sticks.
Newegg did a pretty good job of covering up all side profiles :)
RAM prices seem to be dropping on the plus side though
I've got 2x2GB DDR3 right now, and they are CAS 7 rated. I got these last year when I was building my system. They work great w/ my Core I7 860.
Existing ram:
G.SKILL Ripjaws -- DDR3 1600/7-7-7-24/1.6V

Wow. Thanks for the response, this is a pretty old thread - I'm not sure how you even found it :)
I'll give it a shot this weekend and see if it works.
If I setup PC A with TV tuners and use it as a dvr, is it possible to watch recorded shows from another pc/laptop? Does windows media player stream from wmc?
I'm running Windows 7 x64 on my desktop which has a HP LaserJet 1018 connected to it. I"m trying to print from my laptop, also running windows 7 x64. I've created a HomeGroup and both pcs are connected to it. I have no problems accessing shares, from each other. So all the authentication...
Hi guys,
I'm having trouble getting windows 7 to go to S3 sleep on my i7 860 / ASRock P55 Pro rig.
When I hit the power button, the system powers down and then comes back on immediately with all the fans going at 100% and stays that way.
At this point if I hit the power button, nothing...
I plugged in my Audigy and windows 7 64 and it auto detected and installed the drivers. The card works fine w/o any issues... so i might stick w/ it. Still haven't had time to play w/ the realtek yet.
I'm upgrading my system and doing a big rebuild. I'm wondering if I should still keep using my Audigy 2 ZS. How does the sound on this compare to the builtin Realtek ALC890 on my new motherboard?
I'm planning on installing windows 7 64. Are there any good stable drivers for the ZS?
The...
I would like to get the PC1600 but is the 1.65V going to be a problem w/ the 860? Is there any room for modest (stock) air-cooled OC? Maybe 3.2GHz?
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
Timing 7-7-7-21
Voltage 1.5V...
OK.. So I've convinced myself that I'm going to go with the 860. I'll probably order the Mobo and RAM tmrw.
I'm thinking of the "ASRock P55 Pro LGA 1156" board. I've never used ASRock, are they any good? Aren't they an ASUS spin-off...
Yeah, I do agree, the Phenom IIs are pretty good, but intel did come out w/ a good (better?) alternative. For my money it seems that intel is offering better perf/$. It's been a while since I built an intel build... they still run windows right? :)
Hmm.. the 860 is within my budget (well, at microcenter for $230). Maybe I'll give it another week or two to see if AMD drops price like mad ($160ish for 965?). But it's still hard to see myself going w/ a 965.
Srsly? I didn't notice that. I know that the CPU's PCIe controller can do only x16, so most boards should have a single 16x or dual 8x slot (with the lane switching thing). But are you saying that these boards have only a single 8x slot?
The 120 is around $300; there was a squeamish "deal" on FW for about $270 that involved, bing and paypal recently. I did consider raiding 2 60GB drives but TRIM will probably not work w/ RAID. 60 GB will be a hard fit for my OS/Apps I think.
I was ready to spend around $400 for a 955 + mobo and 4GB of DDR3 but was holding out for the new i5 and i7s. Looks like my wait paid off. I'm thinking of picking up a 860 at Microcenter and a mobo/ddr3 from newegg for around the same price.
Any chance AMD is going to retaliate in the near...
install the windows 2003 resource kit then use robocopy, robocopy /? for help:

I'm planning on upgrading my PC. I'm looking for a new proc, mobo, ram and a SSD.
I've currently got:
Socket 939 Opteron 165
2gb DDR (yes, 4 old school PC-2100 ddr sticks... this alone kills my system)
ATI Radeon 4870 1gb
Audigy 2 ZS
1.5 TB HDD (OS + apps /Media on seperate...
Just as an alternate. on windows, you can do "dir /b" to just get a list of filenames. Adding /a will give you absolute file paths, and /s will cause it to recurse. Most of the other options (see dir /?) will work as well.
What's the deal w/ these board that advertise AM2/AM2+/AM3? DOes it mean that I can I plug in a Phenom II 955 on one of these boards w/ DDR2 ram?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813128387
I'm trying to decide between the 955 and 940. The 955 will end up costing about $90...
My wife's tuition is covered by a scholarship as well, so we aren't paying any tuition. So our only expenses for her education were conferences related. The expenses are, travel (air + cabs/metro etc), lodging, registration fees and meals. Do you think these expenses qualify for inclusion on...
My wife is a grad student and received a couple of grants (around 2k) from her school for travel expenses to a couple of conferences where she presented some of her papers. We received a 1098-MISC from her uni w/ box no. 7 (non-employee compensation) filled out.
a. do we need to report this to...
crap... i bought the 600w PSU. Plugging my system into my kill-a-watt reads around 240w at peak, running my current ati x850xt and opteron 165. I want to upgrade to a 4870 soon, and a new cpu/mobo/ram when the am3s come out.
Do you have any links that describe this issue? Maybe OCZ has...
Nvm, I just ordered the big-brother of that PSU. Might as well be future proof.
This looks like a decent deal:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817341010
Would this be a good supply for my setup:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817341012
System:
Opteron 165 but should be able to handle 125W TDP Phenom (or similiar).
4870x2
1x Optocal
4x HDD
1x Audigy2
How much more peripherals could I add to this setup w/ that PSU?
OK, that's a little disappointing. But i guess 4 years is a good run on a PSU. I'll probably get an antec 500w earthwatts. psu I doubt I'd ever run SLI/CrossFire, probably have 2 optical and 3 hdds though and potentially a 125W TDP cpu (Phenom?).
BTW is there a significant advantaget in...
Not sure if it's TR430 - -says W0009 on it. It is 18A on the +12v though. So, is this an absolute no-go? can i scale back to only 2 hdds and still run?
