    Why is Vista64 constantly accessing my WB 1TB Black? There's nothing going on

    Priority isn't necessarily the issue IMO. A drive can never sleep if it's constantly being accessed. The concept of an idle computer seems lost these days. I get antiviral software, but I've actively tried to disable EVERYTHING on my computer that would access the HDD just to see if I could get...

    USB 2.0 performance

    Just want to chime in (late) that USB definitely varies. I thought USB was basically unusable based on the operation of my Dell Dimension 4550, which basically locks up when transferring large files between it's internal HDD and a USB 2.0 connected external HDD. Based on other feedback, I...

    New case from cooler master

    Just roll with it and remind yourself it was worth what you paid or you wouldn't have paid it. I bought another case because the 690 wasn't on sale when I was buying, then it went on sale again. I didn't "overpay", but I did end up with a case that's has a few more compromises. Still, I'm happy...

    New case from cooler master

    I suggest loading it down with hard drives so it doesn't rise up off the desk and fly away.

    Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

    That's really good to know as it topped out at 40C sitting in the BIOS (I let it stay there about 3 hours and I knew it topped out when I saw it alternating between 39C/40C over and over). Before I realized the stock HSF had thermal paste on the bottom of it (preapplied), I removed it from the...

    Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

    So far so good. I got my E2140 installed into the IP35-e with heatsink/fan. Installed the 2GB of HP DDR2-PC5300 RAM. Plugged up a floppy and HDD, and connected the power supply. No on-board video, so I had to wait for a PCIe graphics card. Once I got that,, I was ready to go before installing in...

    MyBookWorld ext. NAS

    The best price I've seen on the 500GB MyBook Essential Edition (usb 2.0) drives is $100. Thus, for 1TB, I'm not looking to pay much more than $200. Add a premium for the fact that it's NAS (gigabit at that) and not USB2 (I'd also add a small premium for an eSATA drive). Otherwise, it's cheaper...

    Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

    I don't want to litter the thread with thanks, but thank you. Much appreciated. I didn't see the guide as I don't think it was there when I read the first post. I still would have been slightly confused (my inexperience, not the writing) because "Assemble only CPU/CPU cooler" would have...

    Help - Pentium4 3.06GHz registers as 1.5GHz

    I see the question on the Dell forum along with an answer, so hopefully that's him. As for me, Dell Forum is also answering my questions about which CPU upgrades will work with the computer as well as possible video card upgrades. The slot on the machine is AGP 2x/4x, so I've had doubts whether...

    Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

    Short-term reader, first time caller. I'm building a machine for the first time since the S-100 bus and CP/M. Sure I've made minor upgrades here and there (RAM, HDD, etc.) but not built machines. I've not installed any motherboards or even much in the way of CPU upgrades. I've not dealt with...

    Help - Pentium4 3.06GHz registers as 1.5GHz

    I'll subscribe to this thread as I'm curious about possible upgrades for the same machine. The slight difference is I have the 2.53Ghz. The primary reason I haven't upgraded mine at this point is because I haven't been sure what upgrades would work. I've been reluctant to even try a HT CPU since...

    New case from cooler master

    It looks like ZipZoomFly has raised the price of the RC-690 / CM-690 to $75-$20 (rebate) = $55 shipped, which is an increase of $16. Can we wait until I buy mine next time before we give them any ideas?
