In defense of "Bulldozer"

Does anyone see any "In defense of Sandy Bridge" threads? No? There's a reason for that - it didn't fail.

Sort of low raid-0 crystalmark results...thoughts?

My brother is supporting his girlfriend's family of illegal immigrants, halp.

My brother confided in our mom that the family is made up illegals and that Jane has been supporting them for years. Given his money issues, it's natural to assume that he's caught up in it, too. They don't have many possessions in their house, most of it is given by our family. Also, the Army...

My brother is supporting his girlfriend's family of illegal immigrants, halp.

I need some advice on how I should handle this, if at all. My brother (25 years old) has a girlfriend of approximately 7-years, we'll call them Jim and Jane. To give a bit of back ground, Jim is in the Army Reserves as a combat medic. He was a lifeguard, deployed to Iraq for a year, currently...

Water or waste?

Get a Corsair H70 and be done with it. Reviews on it show that it's very effective. Water cooling without all the BS, IMO.

Sort of low raid-0 crystalmark results...thoughts?

I keep reading that my onboard raid sucks, and have also read about performance issues with it in raid0. I guess that's that then. I'll be upgrading my mobo when the x68 chipsets are released, which won't be for a few months. Lol, damn... Thanks for all your help guys, I guess I'll just ride...

Sort of low raid-0 crystalmark results...thoughts?

My write caching is enabled. My stripe was 64k and I changed it to 128k (no difference), and I'm plugged into the correct sata-2 ports. I made sure my that my raid is raid-0 and not raid-1. I'm also using sata-2 cables, and I swapped them out with different ones just incase if they were faulty...

Sort of low raid-0 crystalmark results...thoughts?

I'm pretty sure I did. I set my system's sata controller to raid and then created the stripe in the raid controller's bios. My raid's name in my system bios is named "raidlol", whereas before I created the stripe it just showed the two hard-drives. I then provided the raid drivers to the windows...

Sort of low raid-0 crystalmark results...thoughts?

I bought two Samsung F4 hard-drives for a raid 0 setup. I got them installed and decided to run a benchmark to see where my performance was at. I was expecting more, to be honest. People in the Newegg listing I linked are reporting numbers much higher than me. I have the stripe configured at 64k...
