If you can find it for cheap the AV-710 is great card (I got mine on sale for 15$) and it produce better sound than an the Audigy 2 I had. Also I have never experienced any weird driver problems with it, which were the reason I wanted to get rid of the Audigy. However both of them produced noticeabl...

5/1mbps Cable (70GB a month cap before throttling)
5mbps/640kbps DSL (No cap, but the modem craps itself at around 300kbps upload)


It might seem silly to have 2 internet connections, but they cost me 24 and 20$ and together they make 1 really good internet connection.

The hard drive from my first computer (a 10GB quantum bigfoot 5400rpm) is still going. It had a couple years rest in the middle before it went to a friend who still has it in their computer. It would be about 9 years old and have been running for about 6 of those years. Also of note every Maxtor dri...

I don't have any experience with the 6750 in particular but I have been able to hit 3Ghz with all of core 2s I have overclocked. Just make sure you can find a motherboard that will run a fairly high FSB. Skimming through the Tech Report and Anandtech reviews should show you want boards would allow y...

Dell 2407 24" lcd, 1920x1200, and Dell 2001FP (1600x1200)

Yeah, both disks were xp sp2 disks and I updated the first install completely. I am going to chalk it up to being a bad disk/bad install, but I just chucked the disk as I am not willing to find out for sure.

It was a full re-install, and yes it was the newest bios. Tried updating everything, but then I gave up and tried another install from a different disk (burnt MSDNAA disks) and it is working now.

I recently just built a core 2 system, but for some reason windows is only recognizing the one core (only one shows up in task manager). Anyone have any ideas, I am sure this is must be a software issue as the bios seems to see both cores. here are my system specs E6400 (not overclocked at the momen...

I am working somewhere new and I am getting tired of dragging my headphones to work and back home so I am looking to get a new pair of headphones. Currently I have a pair of these (Sennheiser HD590s) http://www.ecost.com/ecost/ecsplash/shop/detail~dpno~463772.asp I really like the sound quality on t...

I am looking at colocating a server, it will be used mostly to replace a dedicated server I have at managed right now that I used to host several websites, however I would like to be able to do some remote backup as well as hosting some media / using the server for some file sharing. I am looking fo...

I have talked with highpoint tech support and they haven't really suggested anything. I think for now I will just put up with the poor write performance, try to find somewhere to put all the data and then move back linux at some point. If someone has a solution I would love to hear it still as it wo...

Yes it is Raid 5. I have fully updated the drivers and the bios on the card, neither seemed to help. The performance under linux was something like 100/40, not stellar, but a far cry better than I have with windows right now. The 1820A has on-board XOR, but some of the raid logic is done by the CPU ...

A while ago I switched my media/web server from linux to windows and now I am getting horrible write performance with my highpoint 1820A controller. I get about 280-300MBp/s sustained read and 150MBp/s random read, but only 40MBp/s sustained write and 10MBp/s random write. If anyone has any ideas on...

How can I control the fan speed on my 7900GT? I have tried Riva Tuner and that doesn't seem to work.

2.4Ghz on a thoroughbred B 1700+, using home brew watercooling, an NF7-S and giving the CPU 2.2V

In terms of percentages though the highest was Venice A64 3000+ at just over 2.8Ghz, DFI NF4, watercooling and 1.8V.

For the Canadians here dell's 10 days of deals has the 2405FPW for 990$ and the 2005FPW for 550$

My roommate is overclocking with a stock AMD cooler. He is at 2.6Ghz with the a winchester core 3000+, it will run almost 2.7 with an XP-90 and more voltage. I am not sure what voltage or temp but I know it is less than 1.75v (what he was running with XP-90) and he is running low 50s under load.

I have some OCZ Gold VX EL and overclocks really well (2-2-2-9 @ 250Mhz) if you are looking for low latency this is very decent ram. Plus you can find it for 200$ CDN for the pair. http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=13483&vpn=OCZ4001024ELDCGEVX-K&manufacture=OCZ%20Technology&prom...
