What company to go with for an ATI card?

I like Sapphire. Had a x1900gt and the bios chip went belly up. They sent me a new card right away. No problem. I was using Accelero and they said just put the stock parts back on. I like that. No nonsense.

does sata work in sata2 connections?

While everything you say is true, with the new perpendicular drives in RAID 0, they are getting real close to needing the 3Gb/s. And they are getting much faster quickly.

New System - Severe Stability Problems

Sure sounds like a heat issue. Try using the latest Speed Fan. The newest version gives you not only CPU temp but core temp also. I have seen a non-flat heatsink cool the proc while letting the core get overheated. Also check your BIOS to make sure hardware monitering values are set right.

Motions of wheels

New 4x4's are made to be driven on or off road. My Xtera has 4 wheel low and 4 wheel high. High is for highway use when you might lose traction. Although I don't think it is true 4 wheel drive. True 4 wheel drive is rare for all the reasons you have said. Put it in the mud and let them spin. Not...

CPU Core Temps?

I knew the silent boost wasn't the best, but I wanted a fan that blew down. My side fan is directly over the CPU and blows straight at CPU fan. Thought this would work well. Also, I pulled HS/F and checked it for flat. It wasn't. I used a new very flat honing stone, diamond on steel, to flatten...

CPU Core Temps?

Everest, N-Tune, and Speed Fan all say CPU temp is Temp1 on speed fan. Northbridge temp is Mobo temp on Speed Fan. Only Speed Fan separates Core temp and CPU temp.

CPU Core Temps?

I have a AMD 3700 San Diego. Just put a new HS/F on. TT Silent Boost. When running Prime 95, Speed Fan shows temp1 ( CPU ) around 45C. BUT, core temp is running around 65C+!! AMD says proc is good to 71C, which I thought was temp1. If that means core, then I have a problem. I did HS/F install...

Power supply woo.

I don't think I would buy one used. Sounds kind of risky. I like Hiper PSU"s myself.
