During the testing of Vista, I ran O&O Defrag and analyzed the hard drive. Then I ran the Vista defrag program. It ran for about an hour on a 120GB hard drive. When I checked again with O&O, there was very little changed. The hard drive was just as fragmented after running Vista defrag as before...

Orthos point out some memory problems. I cut the memory back to 800MHz and everything is fine. I have been looking for a better cooler and found this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186134. Any thoughts??? Bozo :joker:

Looks like Orthos is Prime95 with some updates and a GUI front end. Setting up to run overnight. Bozo :joker:

RE: Stock cooling. I took a 1" wide piece of notebook paper and wrapped around the outside of the FAN on the CPU cooler. This keeps the ends of the fan blades from creating turbulance and smooths the airflow. Dropped the CPU temp by 2 Degrees C. Now running 56C with the CPU at 100% for a few...

Here is a start: http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/975x/index.htm No mention of Quad Core. Bozo :joker:

I would speculate that the 975X is an Intel chipset. Searching Intels and ASUS sites might give you some info on what CPU is supported. Bozo :joker:

I would imagine that would depend on the motherbaord and chipset. Bozo :joker:

I have been F@H for several hours after each FSB change. Two instances, one for each core. Task Manager reports both cores at 100% Is this not the same as Orthos? I might try a FSB of 410. Bozo :joker:

I couldn't wait :pale: I ordered my CPU last week. But, the results are making up for it. Bozo :joker:

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!! CPU = 3.2Ghz, FSB = 400, RAM = 1000MZ, CPU Votage = 1.365 (1.35 stock) Still on stock heatsink/fan. I need to find a good temperature monitoring app. Bozo :joker:

Windows won't boot at 360MHZ. I'll try the voltage boost tomorrow. Bozo :joker:

CPU = 2.84GHz, FSB = 355MHz, RAM = 710MHZ using the x2 multiplier. 355MHz is a long way from 400. That would be 3.2GHZ CPU speed from a CPU rated at 2.1GHz!. And, that would be with the stock fan & heatsink. Maybe I better read the instruction book to find out what to do when the computer...

There is a RAM multiplier setting that I have been using to keep the RAM near it's rated speed. I believe there is a multiplier of 2, so I can keep the RAM speed down, if the CPU will run at 400. Bozo :joker:

Try boot the computer up and getting Task Manager open to Processes. Posible you could catch a process using too much CPU power and give you a hint. Have you tried any of the Systernals utilities? They have a root kit finder app. Bozo :joker:

Ive had great success returning parts to Newegg. On one occassion, I needed the new part in a hurry, so I ordered a new one and then called for an RMA. When the girl on the phone seen that I had already ordered, I got the RMA and a credit on my plastic money as soon as the old part arrived...

This is fun! Two instances of F@H running and IE opened plus installing software and no hick-ups. Smooth. CPU = 2.76GHz, FSB = 345, RAM = 828 MHz. Bozo :joker:

I was trying tp force Prime95 to use more RAM, that's why the 3000MB. It doesn't seem to matter were I set it, 2.7GB is all it will go. Actually, I don't need to test the RAM. It is not overclocked-yet. It is rated for 800MHz I'm going to set up a hard drive with 64Bit XP and see what happens...

Yep. Two instances, memory usage at 3000MB for each. Task Manager shows only 2.7 GB being used. I wonder if it has anything to do with PAE being enabled? CPU speed = 2.55GHz, FSB = 320MHz, RAM = 800MHz. I'm beginning to like this board/CPU combination. Bozo :joker:

It's up and running:thumbleft: I installed a Core-2-Duo E6420 (2.1GHz) and 4GB of Kingston RAM (1.8v, 800MHz) I have the CPU running at 2.4Ghz with a FSB of 300MHz. Cool!! I'll let Prime95 run a couple of hours, then switch to F@H. It seems Prime95 doesn't know how to handle that much RAM...

This is interesting: http://www.digitimes.com/NewsShow/MailHome.asp?datePublish=2007/6/20&pages=PD&seq=222 Hopefully it will drive Core-2-Duo prices to bargan basement prices. Bozo :joker:

I ran into that a few years ago. A program would not allow chkdsk to run during boot. If I remember correctly, I needed to disable a service for that program. But I'm not 100% sure. Maybe searching the Gigastudio3's site?? Bozo :joker:

Hmmm...This is interesting Begging for sales of Vista?? http://apcmag.com/6458/dont_wait_for_vista_sp1_pleads_microsoft Bozo :joker:

You don't need to press F6 and add drivers do you? Bozo :jokecolor:

From the command prompt: chkdsk c: /f = check file system and repair chkdsk c: /r = check file system and hard drive and repair. Change the drive letter to your choice. If the drive is locked, you will be asked if you would like to run chkdsk at the next boot. Bozo :jokecolor:

No RAID setup??? Bozo :joker:

Don't know what they use, but www.hardocp.com does power supply reviews. Bozo :joker:

I have a brand new Gigabyte motherboard sitting here waiting for a CPU. Don't know if I can hold off until late July...:crap: Bozo :joker:

Hmmm...I have a copy of Vista Ultimate laying around here somewhere. The Media Center that is built in will work fine??? Bozo :jokecolor:

When I did a RAID one rebuild with the Intel setup, it did it after the OS booted. Bozo :joker:

The DVR will only be used on the TV. The TV is a Sony Wega and has more inputs than a Toad has warts. I don't have digital cable or HD right now although the TV is capable. The TV needs an external box for HD, probably digital too. ( I had HD hooked up for a couple of months, then took the...

Don't know about the Gigabyte, but the Intel management software gives you a lot of info. Only ever had to do a rebuild 1 time on the Intel RAID, so my experiance is limited. Bozo :joker:

Actually, I think some of the Hitachi drives are re-labeled WDs. I just recieved some 250GB Hitachi SATA drives that have the molex power connector on them...like WDs. IBM and WD had a very close working relationship for a long time. Bozo :jokecolor:

We don't get any premium channels and I don't forsee us getting any. If I did get the premium chanels, I would have to get a box from Comcast which already has a DVR inside. Thanks, Bozo :jokecolor:

Ditto Bozo:jokecolor:

Cable in, output to HD TV. Posibly adding a DVD player to the box. Bozo :jokecolor:

What does it take to build you own DVR? An old compter, a tv capture card, software, a large hard drive (how large?) and...? How do you get the remote control work. Most of the ones I am familier with ard IR. Do you drill a hole in the front of the case. Or are they RF? Thinking of using a...

The 3Ware cards I've used seem to be picky about what hard drive is installed to what port. Want array 1 to be the boot drive, attach the hard drive to the 0 & 1 ports. Then create that array. Bozo :joker:

NSK3300: Does it take a standard power supply? How easy is it to change the power supply? Thanks, Bozo :joker:

I did. Don't think I have any of those left though. Bozo :joker:

At least with the MS mice, you can replace the batteries. My MX1000 will be the first and last wireless mouse that the batteries are permanent. Bozo :joker:

I forgot about those! Matter of fact, I still have one or two laying around here somewhere. Even have a 4 port PATA 3Ware RAID card. Hopefully motherboard makers will keep putting regular PCI slot on for a little while yet. Bozo :joker:
