Since the RAID 0 is so fragile I keep my data in another drive anyway so even if it goes wrong it only has the program files in there for me. The rest I always keep in other drives.
Regarding the PCI controller I would love to use one but it has to be a PCI -EXPRESS one since I only have 1...
Well I am just about to move my Windos XP installation from a motherboard with the i975 chipset to a motherboard with the 680i chipset. I am using a RAID 0 array from the onboard controller for my boot drive.
Is this possible? I am also moving to SLI but I could add the 2nd card after I have...
Well its nice to say that the Striker is rock solid etc.
However does any of you run 2x 8800GTX (overclocked ofc) and a high FSB like 450+?
Also how about SLI + Xi-Fi or an Audigy 2ZS and sound crackling which is yet to be fixed?
And ofc the low FSB with Quad Cores that all 680i boards...
I decided to go with the HP since it uses the same panel with the Dell and after seeing a review of the new Dell (don't remember where link at hardforum) there was no reason to wait panle wise.
As for the 3 DVIs yes I will connect a second PC to it for Desktop use only - no games...

DO NOT get the Aquos 42" since its the only one from the line that uses a different panel. 37" or 46" is the way to go.
Also after I did my research bear in mind the following about the Sharp aquos (not the 42")
- It does 1:1 pixel mapping at 1920x1080 over the HDMI port...

FYI the HP-LP3065 uses the same panel as the upcoming Dell 3007WFP-HC and has a response time of 8ms compared to the current Dell 11-14ms. It is not a matter of comaring it to the current Dell at all sinc the current Dell 30" is old news colour and performance wise.
The HP also...
Hi,
Well if I will add to the comments about "Ultimate".
Here is what I am building and still I don't consider it too Ultimate
CASE
Mountain MODS U2-UFO
CM STACKER 810
Well I have both and I need to migrate to the U2-UFO with all sorts of mods in there
Motherboard:

The Westinghouse is available in Canada it seems.
Also read the display forum there as it have tons of info about large displays on PCs.
As I said a TV res below 1920x1080...
Hehe although I live in Greece I can point you to some UK stores that sell high -end memory:
- http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ - they have all the memory you can dream of.

Have fun.

Hello,
I was recently under the same dilema and after scanning and posting in several forums like the the AVS forum (experts in HD TVs) I fianlyy decided to go with a 30" PC monitor and in particular the HP LP3065 for 1570 Euros (its cheaper in the US) whihc I ordered today and will receive...
The most important parts of your system are the Radiatior and pump given that you have a decent CPU block (or other blocks ofc).
For me I would upgrade your systme in the following order:
- Radiator - the best is the Thermochill PA series if you cant find it get a Swiftec second best. If...
NOD32 hands down, I used to sell it ages ago when IT people did not know it and and its amazing how much less overhead it has for your PC compared to other like N...on.
Excuse me Aikouka,
if you think I am complaining you should see what others say about this that have actually bought the 680i boards.
But honestly bleeding edge is bleeding a bit right now hehe.
BTW: what is this bug with the 8800? Never came across; you mean playing video on a second...
LOL!!
Ok ok, I know I am pushing my processor (watercooling on the way next week) but it is working with my i975 Asus board and I can't believe how stable it is - not a single crash!
What I am trying to say is that the 680i boards have problems even not overclocked just check HardOCP...
Hello All,
As you may have read by now the new Nvidia 680i is not the most stable trouble free chipset at the moment. After many years of being a computer hobbist I am finally able to buy what I want (I mean I can afford really high-end), so I proceeded and bought some nice parts for my PC...
Regarding the 30" Monitor bear in Mind that Dell has anounced the new model with which has a 92% colour gamut instead the 76% of the current one. This will compete with the HP model which is currently out so either wait or search for info on the HP model to get an idea of how the new Dell will...
Hmm you got me thinking bterrill; and I do realise now that for AIR I am very lucky. However U was extremely unlucky too with a ptrevious chip I had an FX-53 that would not overclock jack maybe 100mhz but that was it (on AIR that is and I did stop there)
Regarding your chip well from what I...
makymoo:
YOu say that high-end air hsf are as effective as some wc; how more high-end than the Scythe Infinity I already use - do you mean a TEC air cooler or you include the one I use in this category.
Yet, there are various reasons I want my PC faster; I want to do video editing, game at...
Itczar,
The way I have connected the 2 PSUS is with a cable that was included with my CM STACKER Case - (the cable is a Y split). Its actually fairly simple and if you ask around here people will know which pins they are I think 12& 14 or sthing like that not sure though. It's funny how my PC...
Ok guys thank you all very much for your replies I think.
I got a real world idead from you now and its simple - I will have lower temps with a good (250$ - Euros - w/c setup) but its not going to take me higher than I am now maybe a 100-200 Mhz more and that is a lot.
It seems that the...
Hmm I was under the impression that Tuniq Tower and Infinity were about the top air solutions - but I guess you suggest the Typhoon since it will breathe air from outside with the side fan of my stacker.
But I am wondering why none is suggesting a watercooling solution? I was thinking of a...
hehe, funny enough Asus Probe II reports the same temperature (1c more) with coretemp. I did not know that games do not stress the CPU as much as Orthos so I go worried but it makes sense too since I have a G15 Logitech keyboard and I can see cpu utilisation on the LCD and its neve 100% on both...
Hey thnx for replying.
I will wait to see if SLI is needed and the only reason I would go for it is if and when I find a satisfying 30" LCD monitor (i.e. the New HP or Dell or Benq when they are all out and review thoroughly) other than that no point for SLI on my 22" CRT.
The reason i...
Hello all,
I don't know whether my E6600 @ 3.6ghz is considered anything special as an overclocking achievement but I am really happy with it. But let me post my specs first too:

FSB: 1600 (400)

Well forst of all thank you for the replies.
Atheus: I live in Greece and the prices are from Dell.gr, but I have not searched another source for these monitors.
Krotchy: I heard that the 3007WFP supports a native resolution of 1280x800 on top of 2560x1600 and it scales very nice. Yet, you...
Regarding Step up - it was a recommendation from AT forums and I still have over 70 days till step up expires meaning supplies may be fine by then.
Other than that its simple : if they manage not to step up bad for them, they will piss off a huge chunk of thier customer base since they only...
Well its going for 1100 Euros but I am not going to see any difference in size going from my 22" inch CRT (pure 20") to a 24" Widescreen.
So I decided that i want a 30" display but as I said above since it is quite expensive I dont want to buy and find out that new models coming out soon that...
I am using a 22" CRT now, and I really want a 30" for Autocad, Video and Games. Most of the time I use my PC for Office applications Excel, and ofc some Autocad since I am in the construction business. Yet I like to play arround with some Home Videos and Photos too but most importantly I like my...
First of all thnx for the replies I will proceed with the 7950GX2 and use step up so no need to wait for new G80.
