Incredibly slow XP Pro install.

Yeah, exactly. What puzzled me before doing it is that it recognized the CPU correctly. Just when I saw that the current BIOS version was older than the release date of the Toledo it came to me that would probably be the problem.

Incredibly slow XP Pro install.

Problem solved. First thing I did after coming back from work is make a bootable floppy with the BIOS, flashed it, and that's it. I feel so silly now cause I actually did make a BIOS floppy before starting with the installation but I forgot to make it bootable. Thanks a lot for you...

Incredibly slow XP Pro install.

Update: When I posted this message on the forums I left Windows installing and went to sleep. I woke up this morning at 7.30 (8 and a half hours after starting the install), and had the message "1 minute left" on the install. So I got me my coffee and waited for....20 minutes, and it...

BANG FOR BUCK COMPONENTS (and why you should get them)

Erm, not to break anyone's balls or anything, but since when are regular cases used for "high end" servers? Oh and just for the record, all you US guys talking about 100$ Lian Li cases...I HATE YOU! :P Not because I particularly like Lian Li, but I don't think I could get a Lian Li sticker...

3000 XP cooling question.

Temps have gone down to 42/30 peak load and 38/27 idle. Not bad at all. :) The system is louder now but I suppose adding 3 fans, however silent they may be, has to make it louder.

3000 XP cooling question.

My mistake, there are no front intakes, the 2 I mentioned are on the left side blowing right onto the CPU and PCI/AGP slots. And yeah, I bought the 2x92 and 1x120, but didn't install yet, so don't have temps to report right now. Temperature in Madrid is soaring above 40ºC today in Madrid, and...

3000 XP cooling question.

That's the case indeed. The set up is 2 x 92 in the lower part of the front panel, 3 x 92 on the lower right side of the case (if you look at it from the front), which blow directly onto the 6x3.5" bays, and a rear 120mm.

Last three PC games you've tried?

World of Warcraft: How original, eh? My guild's making progress in BWL now... FEAR: I loved the SP campaign, great sound, ambience, very good graphics that my crap GPU can't handle at all (I'm gonna replay it again when my 7800gs arrives) Manhunt: Fun for a while, but nothing spectacular...

3000 XP cooling question.

I'm going to buy the fans this afternoon when I'm out of the office - going with 1 92 and 1 120 right now, then I'll monitor the temps and post them here. Do you guys think I'll gain anything regarding airflow if I also buy some round cables, or is that pointless in a case this big? I will soon...

3000 XP cooling question.

Thanks for the replies guys. Regarding the Papst fans, I am buying from a very well reputed Dutch IT chain (Alternate) and I am quite positive its OK, but you're damn right they're expensive. I don't mind splashing out a bit more though, we are still talking about prices in the tens of ?uros. As...
