Heatsink Recommendations for an AMD X2 Proc?

Thanks so much for the tips. It looks like I'm going with the Thermalright XL-90C. As for paste, if I decide to go with an Arctic Silver brand, is there much difference between the "Silver 5" and "Ceramique" versions? From what I've gathered, "Ceramique" might be more conducive to AMD...

Thanks to everyone for their answers on previous posts as I prepare to build my first system. Much appreciated! I have but one more question for ya... I'm going to be installing an AMD X2 4800+ processor and I'm wondering if those with AMD experience can offer any insight as to whether or not...

Could some kind soul walk me through setting up a Raid 0 array?

Found this on another forum re: video editing and Raid 0 Okay, allow me to contribute a little to this thread instead of leeching off these very appreciated responses. The thread above shows some pretty interesting info regarding Raid 0 and video editing, although it was never totally...

Could some kind soul walk me through setting up a Raid 0 array?

I guess this is what I need to research now, i.e. what benefit a Raid 0 array would give to video editing and if that benefit is worth the inherent risk of such a setup. I've been under the impression that Raid 0 was a no-brainer when it came to speed increases across the board, but sounds...

Could some kind soul walk me through setting up a Raid 0 array?

I didn't ignore you, Tom. In fact, if you notice my second post in this thread, I answered your questions directly. In any case, thanks very much for this info. In fact, while searching more between making this post and waiting for responses, I've seen quite a bit of info about the new 16MB...

Could some kind soul walk me through setting up a Raid 0 array?

Hmmm, could you explain what you mean by that? Not totally sure I follow. Also, you mention you had 4 GBs of RAM, which is what I'm hoping to have as well. However, I've read about problems with filling all 4 DIMMS on some boards (like a few ASUS models), where the RAM speeds clock back to...

Could some kind soul walk me through setting up a Raid 0 array?

Thanks guys, for the comments. Will definitely check the manual, just haven't got the board yet. I suppose I could go to the ASUS site and see if they have a PDF version of it available for download. As for why I am getting the raptors, well, I'm planning to use the system predominantly for...

Could some kind soul walk me through setting up a Raid 0 array?

I will be building my first rig in the next week or so and am planning to set up 2 HDs (probably Raptors) in a Raid 0 array. I've never done this before and was just wondering if someone could offer me the basics as to what the process involves as far as installing windows on a Raid 0 array...

Successor to 7800GTX?

Well, this article from The Inquirer is what prompted my question, mainly the quote below: ----We talked to the channel and resellers, and they all agrees that at least some of the enthusiast customers are holding back and waiting for either an Ultra version of Geforce 7800 or the ATI R520...

Successor to 7800GTX?

Thanks, Kensai Is there a 7800GTX that is superior to others? BFG, LeadTek, etc.? Or are they all pretty much the same?

Successor to 7800GTX?

I've been planning on building my first system for a long time now, and finally am in a position to start doing it. Obviously the 7800GTX is the fastest on the block right now, and it's very tempting for me to just go ahead and pick one up and get things rolling. However, I know ATI's...

Problems with ASUS A8N SLI Premium and Inverted MB Cases?

Thanks for the feedback, guys, very helpful. To be honest, the entire heatpipe thing is brand new to me as well. I've found a good article on it on the Thermacore site that's pretty exhaustive, but haven't gotten through it yet completely. Is it a huge advantage over a non-heatpipe setup...

Problems with ASUS A8N SLI Premium and Inverted MB Cases?

Would really appreciate any advice on this one. I'm planning to build my first system and had decided on an ASUS A8N SLI Premium MB in a Lian Li case with the inverted motherboard configuration. However, I've been reading some findings that the A8N SLI was not developed with the inverted...
