Mr.Guvernment

i always liked using a sidewinder joystick, seemed to help well for me, alhtough now that i got one system on a 52' tv - steering wheel maybe nice - sit back and race some in the living room!

Quote: Quote: clear off your D drive and format is fresh into NTFS? Heh, that's DEFINITELY a way for certain... I had to do that recently on my 2nd drive in fact: backup ALL of its data onto my first disk & just plain-jane redo it! or (mixed emotions on that experience!) * This assumes however this fellow can backup his entire disk though... that can be a "catch-22" @ times depending on how much he has on it etc. APK i was SO happy when i learned about paritioning and got my second HD way back when!, back up everything so easily, no more sitting for hours with a 4x cd burner burning gig's after gig's after gig's of backups just so i could format! (often over 20g)

everyone seem to want to start a tehc forum - i wonder how long many of thise forums stay online for before going under. I am not putting down your forum, but it seems that since forums phpBB/vb/ubb/ becasme so popular everyone and their mother wants to set up a forum now! i am going to go into the forum design / set up / hack installing buisness! it seems though your forum has more to it then simply another news / tech forum claiming to have what others dont when in the end they dont.

People likely do it, because if you are doing it, you should know how to do it properly and the satisfaction of paying so little to get a wicked ard - same reason people over clock - more power!!! for free - often, if u do it right. like me, i am getting my WC (water cooling) set up this week - hope i set it up right!

"Some people are only alive because it is illegal to kill them" "God must love stupid people, he made so many other them!"

i hate HP anything..lol i like Epson, they have by FAR given way better printing quality then any HP i have seen, my uncle always buys the best when it comes out and has a ton of printers and after 5 or 6 HP and 3 Epsons - 1 the epson photo700 i think Epson gets my vote everytime!! especially for the full page high quality color pics!

nice - yeah the 3ware ones were in the $500 + rnage for like 8 slot one, the 4 slot i saw about $300 US. i will have a large case, will be buying a server case once i get this done.

seem the pci contoller is my best route right now. As for a64-bit pci bus - any decent mobos out there that have the 64bit? (non xeon boards if possible?)

great info all! i would go scsi - but they go not hav 250g SCSI drives out and to get 1 terra would likely cost me a fortune in many small scsi drives this is just for my home PC, so yeah that whole array thing maybe a liuttle too much.

Wich controller are yur using, which promise ones? and if i had 4 250g drives it would be more about 930g total....

what the price range on one of those, iam not really familiar with any "real" server hardware..

as far as i kow if u use a SATA - it is the same as using an IDE - u can not use the 2 SATA and all the ide's one person suggested a IDE card, which would allow 4 more idea drives, this could work, any word on the performance of thse cards? as for cooling, no worries, i am an overclocking freak this server will have enough fans to fly away!..lol and i could possibly do dual power supplier in a server tower if needed.

mmm, i do not have that issue with my swap disk, but i also made it 5g as i use it for my PS scratch disk and other things like that.

also increase your windows fonts to 14 point or higher, this will help alot with visual qwuality and reading.

yes MS rally - to me kicks Collin 2 out of thw water - i did nt like it @ all - maybe 3 will be better but right now i would say MS Ralli, it has my attention.

not to mention how many people in your area have cable as that will kill u as well, the speed the comapny say are a MAX of what you cna get, but will vary - it does not mean u WILL hit those speeds.

Hey all, has anyone used of heard of this email client - if so, thoughts? http://www.isbister.com/express-plus-email.asp one of our employee's forwarded me their site asking about it - personalyl i said there are other clients to use like Opera and other likely better ones that have been out for a while and are an alternative to Outlook Express.

see if u can get a wireless with the dual sensors in it

nvidia ti 4200 (4x agp).... lol - u done your recent reasearch my friend... the Ti's are dead in the muddy water and u can get far better ATI cards for the price - quality comparison. possible, but i would go against that with an ATI 9x series card - condiering the over all performance when you include AA and AF - it whips the ground with ANY TI card - not to mention the Dx9 compatiblity. the 9500 PRO - also may i mention that you can flash the bios of the 9500 pro to convert it into a full working 9700 PRO

anti virus software trying to do a virus scan on the file and freezing? turn off or disable anti-V and try it?

working on a forum - so why not test it on your forum?..lol

clear off your D drive and format is fresh into NTFS?

go to (hardcore overclocking forum) http://oc-forums.com they can give u great advice on what to get! PS - be very carefuly with that cooler - for alot of people with AMD's it does not fit on their mobo and they have to bend transitors to make it fit - make sure u measure that u got enough room to fit that cooler.
