4 Sticks of RAM Issue

Hmmm, that will be frustrating if that's the case. I'll try the 333 and see if it helps. Hard to believe they make a board with 4 slots that won't work with all 4 filled in the 21st century. :/

WD Raptor 74G $121 shipped after MIR.

It's there once you get to the final step of ordering from Newegg -- just did it 5 minutes ago. They give you a sheet to fill out and send to PCMag for the $19.95 refund.

P4 2.8C Overclocking Advice

I think you're right Akuma -- I must have messed up my math. So, set the mem to 333, and then try to oc the cpu to 240 FSB if possible. I do this by small increments and running Prime95 to ensure stability. If I run into a problem, I can increase vcore by small amounts. I've seen various...

P4 2.8C Overclocking Advice

Well, the bios doesn't have mem dividers per se -- it simply lists speeds that I can select. The options look like this -- 266, 333, 400, Auto, 466, 533, etc. There were also options for 4:5 and 3:4, but it was going the wrong way so my mem would be running faster than FSB. So, the only way...

P4 2.8C Overclocking Advice

Ok, so divide the mem down -- my only choice is pretty much 333 -- and then keep taking the cpu up correct? How much voltage can I safely add, or what is the limit? My CPU loads at 34 C during Prime95 torture testing, so I think my temps are just fine. If I divide the mem, I have to hit a...

where to buy Medusa 5.1 Surround Headset

Yeah, I had a hell of a time finding them as well. Found some places overseas that had them cheaper, but with those places costs add up. You'll have to get a North American power supply, pay customs, and this is assuming that they'll even sell to you. And 90% of the places that carry them...

Need help with a career choice

I'm not either of those, but I am a ME. From my perspective, there's more opportunity for EE's than physics majors. A lot more technical companies can use EE's over physics majors imo. As he said above though, you need to make sure you enjoy whatever you decide to do first. Money isn't...

Expertise Needed

Thanks for the replies guys. I got the 6800NU for $210 shipped to me off of the FS/FT threads -- didn't want to go PCI-E yet since that would have meant a complete overhaul. Plus I figure I can get a few bucks out of my 9600 Pro to help offset some of that cost. I've only ever ran...

Expertise Needed

Okay, after searching and trying to sift through the endless topics on these boards I think I at least know the right questions to ask -- maybe, maybe not. :) Anyways, I'm doing some upgrading on my system (2 yrs old) as I'd don't want to do a complete overhaul yet. Would like another year...

High-end gaming monitor

I just picked up a refurbed NEC FP912SB (same as Mitsubishi DP930-SB) 19" CRT for $192 shipped to my door. I got the extended warranty (out to 3 years), so if you didn't get that it'd be close to $150. I don't think the monitor was ever used -- mint condition. Hell of a buy for a good 19"...
