Scythe Shogun vs. TR SI 120?

I have the P180 with a Scythe cooler. I run a 64 x2 3800+. I ran it all last night under load (no overlcocking yet) for about 6 hours. The CPU temp never got above 90F. I have the top fan reversed so it pulls air into the case and exhausts out the back. No fan on the scythe...in my mind I...

EPox 9NPA+ Ultra SATA Question

Will I need the drivers for the raid controller on this board for my SATA drive or will Win XP be able to handle this? On my previous board with a SATA drive I could set it to run as IDE in the BIOS until the OS was installed, but I didn't see anything like this in my new mobo manual. If I...

Antec P180 Cooling question

Got all of my equipment for my new build yesterday evening. I had very little time, so I just opened everything up and started figuring out where to run everything. A few questions: 1) Should I mount my Fortron 500W with the fan mounted up or down (those of you familiar with the P180 case...

XP v. XP64 Question

I am confused about something. I just purchased an AMD 64 x2 3800+ and it seems odd to me to run normal windows XP with this processor. But after reading more in the OS forum, it seems like not too many people are actually running the 64 bit version. Are there problems with running the 32 bit...

Operating System Install Question

If I only have one drive, is it more efficient to partition it into say a 10 GB space for my operating system and install my applications on the remaining space along with my swap file or does it not matter whether the partition is there? Obviously it would be better to have two drives, but I...

Antec P180 Question

As far as I can tell he removed the PSU/lower Harddrive fand and ran his cables along the backside of the HD cages. Anything else?

How do I tell if it is SATAII? If it says 3gb/sec is it SATAII? Is this what you are talking about? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822152020

I hate to keep bumping this post, but I keep seeing new info as I am reading about what you guys have showed me so far. What about the XFX, Leadtech or PNY versions of these cards? Same specs...lower price than eVGA. Anyone have any ideas?

Building a new PC...again :)

Ok...I have been looking at the 7800GT. Is there a huge difference between say a AOpen http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814135184 vs. a eVGA http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130239 ? Seems to me outside of BF2 (which I don't need) that they are the...

Forgive my ignorance, but what does this mean? I assumed you could buy two 3200 chips and use them. Am I wrong? On my 1 year old rig I used 2 512's that were not a set to my knowledge and they worked fine.
