So, I'm drinking more lately

Oh boy. OK look. Put your family history aside for a moment. I'm a drinker. I admit it. I don't apologize for it. I don't make excuses for it. It worries my wife a bit, but as it stands right now she doesn't appear to be OVERLY concerned. Now, I don't drink because i'm unhappy. I don't...

Official DO's and DON'T for ASUS A8N-SLI (PREMIUM)

Wow, is that documented fact? To be honest, that stinks. A 2T command rate really cuts your memory performance down.

Official DO's and DON'T for ASUS A8N-SLI (PREMIUM)

Yeah, I think a lot of this is because of AMD's on-die memory controller. I had a 3800+ box based on NF3 that I simply *could not* get stable. While others had no problems, I could never get mine solid. I tried Corsair, OCZ, Ballistix and Kingston. I tried all sorts of voltages with each...

ICH6R & RAID0

so to get back on topic here, does anyone know of which chipsets support a 3 drive RAID0 stripe that doesn't require an add-on card?

ICH6R & RAID0

As opposed to having ONE drive in your box, having IT go bad, and losing all your data? Seems the same to me. Plus ICH6R lets you do matrix raid - so you don't lose all your data.

ICH6R & RAID0

Guys, read the article again. Look at what they test. A bunch of benchmarks (which RAID0 always wins), like Winstone, sysmark, and a few other synthetics.... Then they test... uh... gee. Game loading times. Great article. Really spells things out for the "real world" *yawn*...

ICH6R & RAID0

I don't think that article did any kind of testing with heavily disk intensive applications, like video editing. I'm pretty sure they just tested game level load times :)

ICH6R & RAID0

Yeah, I do it because I do a lot of video file work and thrash disks around a LOT. I would really like to do a 3 disk RAID0 stripe, but it seems I don't know how to select more than 3 drives in the RAID bios... That's why I'm wondering which chipsets allow it...

ICH6R & RAID0

I'm actually asking about this on ICH6R (925XE).... What chipset were you using that allowed you to do RAID0 across 5 drives?

ICH6R & RAID0

OK, in the ICH6R bios (Ctrl-I) I can only select TWO drives for a RAID0 stripeset. Is this normal for the ICH6R on a 925XE? Has anyone successfully run more than 2 SATA HDD's in a RAID0 stripeset? How about on Nforce4? I'm using 3 Raptor 740GD's and basically want balls-to-the-wall disk...

Rambus and Infineon have settled out of court

I have nothing but time until April 12th :) I'm out on disability because of an autoimmune disorder and have nothing but time to sit on the web and argue. At least when my daughter lets me. Regardless of his view, he's entitled to it as unreasonable as it may be. I simply don't see how any...

Rambus and Infineon have settled out of court

Not true. Asus was one of the most outspoken manufacturers who stated that RDRAM allowed them to lower manufacture 4-layer boards far more easily than SDRAM or even DDR would allow. They were the ones who had stated that creating dual-channel DDR motherboards would be difficult from a design...

I don't see how... VirtualLarry's point of view is that memory manufacturers had the right to steal rambus property... All the memory manufacturers knew about RDRAM and Rambus IP. They overtly tried using JEDEC to steal it, subverting everything JEDEC could have stood for.
