I was just given an old netvista box with 4 18gb scsi HDs, can't get it to boot and i'm suspicious that it had a previous linux build.
It doesn't recognize a bootable drive, so I'm going to grab the drivers from somewhere and use the "hit f6 to install 3rd party scsi drivers".
my main...
I need to use headphones for gaming to apease the wife and I'm getting sick of wires. Any recommendations on a good wireless headset? Mic not necessary, but not an issue either. Most everything I see is either used for home theater or for MP3... just curious if those will work?
While...

I'm getting a machine built this week with this kit in it, I'll post how it goes. Just waiting on the PSU. From all the reviews it seems to work pretty good, and seems easy to set up. I wanted a low hassle setup with OK reviews and this seemed to fit the bill. The R80 looks like crap, but...
Some questions after reading through the guide a second time:
Locks - I come across the reference alot but unsure as to what it really means. Motherboard locks? Meaning I can or can't change something? Or I can't increase over the 1000mhz spd? edit: nvm, found out
memory settings -...
Hello All,
Relatively new to the board, attempting to get caught up with new hardware after using the same box for 4 years.
I'm getting a machine next week (just waiting on the PSU) with the below hardware and have a few questions. Would also welcome any comments as I still have a bit of...
Thanks for the notes
I was doing some work in a datacenter and we'd started installing a bunch of boxes with x64 for testing purposes, didn't stick around long enough to see how they turned out.
I was initially under the impression that x64 had better dual core/dual processor support, but...
Also a first time Overclocker, Is there a "cookbook" type process located somewhere for overclocking an AMD x2 3800?
Getting a rig built now
x2 3800
Abit fatal1ty a8n-sli
7800 GTX
2gb ram (not sure what kind yet, have to do a bit of research)
everything else pretty standard...
I'd like to also know the answer to this question, getting a rig built currently
AMD x2 3800
Abit Fatal1ty A8N SLI mobo
2gb ram (not sure what kind yet)
7800 GTX
I have virgin copies of both XPx32 and XPx64 and wondering which to slap on, both pro.
Any thoughts?
From what I've been reading I guess as your not real unlucky you can OC the 3800 pretty easy. In that case I'll probably go with that. And once OC'd it handles most current programs pretty well, and anything that takes advantage of the dual... very well.
Not sure about the Alienware...
In reference to the above... Opteron chips, there seemed to be a bit of discussion on how great they overclocked. Has anyone had any gaming experience with an Opteron chip? How'd it go? They also seem a bit pricey, and I haven't looked into how the vid card/motherboard/processor relationship...
Great thread and thanks for the info... i've fallen behind on the hardware side of things and have been feverishly catching up on vid/processors.
I've had the same 1.33 ghz AMD for 5yrs now, adding ram and replacing vid cards as necessary (RAD 9800 current)... but looking to get a new system...
