Both drives are the same.
Western Digital are just charging more money for the Raptor X because they believe there are a few guys out there who will be watching their expensive hard disk in action alot.
I have a Lian Li PC 7077 and I don't have the side window so there is no way I am...
I am trying to set the RGB settings for gaming with my Acer AL1922 LCD monitor.
There are 2 factory settings already: "Warm" and "Cool" and the third option is "User". So what is the best settings for gaming?
Any suggestions?
I got the Sony SDM-X93 today but I haven't opened the box and tested it yet. Do you think the HX93 is a better monitor than the X93? Should I change it?
Well I ordered the 40GB hard disk but dell offered a free upgrade to 60GB 4200 RPms.
It is okay as I planned to sell it anyway and the 60GB is worth more than the 40GB hard disk. I sold the 60GB 4200 RPms to a local store and paid extra for the 60GB 7200 RPms. It was money well spent.
The...
Well I am getting my X1000 today.
I already have a Dell Latitude D800 (amazing laptop).
My Dell D800:
Pentium M 1.7Ghz
Intel 855PM (with wireless lan)
1GB PC2100 DDR
60GB Hitachi 7200 RPMs 8megs Cache (partitioned to Drive C and Drive D with 30GB each)
Geforce 4 TI 4200 GO 64megs (gets about...
I better remove that.
That was from my previous system with the Asus P4PE.
I was too quick to just change the motherboard info and forgot about the memory part.
I was using the Asus P4PE previously.
sorry guys.
The voltages are nice.
IN the bios the CPU vcore is 1.55V (which is just accurate). The northwood 3.06ghz runs at 1.55V by the way.
However, the Asus PC Probe shows a reading of 1.63V sometimes and then drops to 1.56V and then goes back up to 1.61V or 1.63V.
No I am going to keep this one.
I have so many people asking me to selling them my board.
I will not.
I know that the retail board will be selling for $250. At least that is the price that we are told here in Hong Kong.
Trust me, Granite Bay is not all that what we thought it would be.
I am not all the impressed. We are better of using the INtel 845PE motherboard which costs half as much as the Granite Bay and you don't even need to buy two sticks of rams.
I have 2 sticks of 512megs Corsair XMS 3500 CAS2.
HI!
It is the end of the year now and so I am done playing with hardware this year.
Here are my currect system's results. Air Cooled!!!
Northwood 3.06Ghz with HT with Asus P4G8X (nothing overclocked)

Ok now I understand why I am having a problem with my Radeon 9700 and Asus P4G8X (Sample).
I have been having lots of lock ups in games and also my display all of a sudden gets all messed up.
I disabled AGP Fast writes by using the Smartgart utility and it sort of solved the problem.
Hmmmm!!!
That is why I wonder why even bother looking at the GeforceFX 5800 Ultra when the Radeon 9700 is pretty good already.
We should just stop visiting hardware sites from now on and don't bother about the new hardware releasing soon. Just wait for games and get on with our daily lives. Either...
I bought it yesterday for $650.
I will not overclock it so soon. No point to do that now.
I want the excitement to last longer.
I think the Northwood 3.06Ghz is not worth the price tag. Just my opinion.
HT does nothing for games for now and a similar AthlonXP 2700+ with the nForce...
Here you go guys.
Nothing overclocked in my system as yet (not even the Radeon 9700).
I am using the Asus P4PE Deluxe by the way. I badly need a Granite Bay motherboard!!!!

3DMark 2001 SE:
Northwood 3.06Ghz without HT and Radeon 9700
= 15759...
Yeah!
About 18300 3DMark or something.
I am not too bothered with that outdated benchmark tool. Seriously there really needs to be an updated version of 3DMark.
May be after NV30 is released. Seems like a new 3dMark is released after Nvidia introduces a new card.
For now I am going to...
I am also getting 1gig of Corsair 3500 Cas2 this week. My Corsair 3200 Cas2 run at 434mhz CL-2 no problem.
Have you tried overclocking with your 1Gig of Corsair 3500 Cas2? I know it should run at 433mhz CL-2 at default. Have you tested this with 1gig of memory?
Yes, Gigabyte 8PE667 Ultra has problems running to sticks of DDR memory. However, that is only if you enable turbo mode. Disable turbo mode and the problem is gone.
That is what I did.
I am now using the Asus P4PE as it has better memory performance (2.66x divider).

Well, I got it from my friend who owns a computer store.
It is as good as buying it. I paid for it but I can replace the motherbord with the Asus P4T533 next week.
Well I got bored today so I went to the store and got the Northwood 2.26ghz since they are so cheap now.
I recently also got the an excellent INtel 845E motherboard with DDR400 support.
http://www.albatron.com.tw/product/PX845E_Pro_II.php
I then decided that I try out the Northwood 2.26Ghz...
I am using only 1 stick of 256megs DDR 400 so I am not bothered. I am only testing this motherboard for a couple of days until I get the Asus P4T533.
You can use either bank 1 or bank 2 and 3.

Today I borrowed a new motherboard from my friend. The motherboard is from a company called "Albatron". It seems to be an unknown company but the motherboard I tested is excellent.
It is based on the Intel 845E chipset.
Check it out.

Whether you get the bios from Germany or from Taiwan it makes no difference.
It is not like if you download the bios from Taiwan, your CMOS languange will be in Chinese.
It makes no difference. Infact, all the bios are prepared from the Taiwan office.
I am in Hong Kong. I got them locally.
PS. 1.95V seems high but my CPU temp when idle is about 34 degrees C and full load at 40 degrees C. I am using the Swiftech heatsink with Delta fan (8cm). I am also using a special thermal oil which is better than the Artic Silver 3.
