<0> When my computer loading, i can see wellcome screen to SATA-RAID-BiOS, then i see name of my hard and him size.
<0> But in main Award Bios he is not detecting =(
<0> Motherboard new. Chipset Nvidia4
<1> do you have them plugged into the nvraid, or sil raid?
<2> any good processors from intel lately?
<3> n #chaos706
<1> nice nick
<3> grazzi
<3> the hardware room is quiet tonight...
<3> it's usually poppin.
<1> yeah, i guess everyones computer is actually working tonight haha
<3> amazing.
<4> besides winmodems, is there any hardware on the market today that wont work with linux?
<5> tons
<5> But you'll eventually get drivers for everthing
<4> i cant to build a new box and i wnat it to be linux compatible, any tips?
<4> want to*
<5> Just use regular hardware, nothing too off the wall, and you'll be fine
<4> would marking sure i dont buy anything thats only been released in the last 6months save me having any issues?
<5> Nope
<5> You'll be fine
<5> Anything new should have Linux drivers
<5> like all my brand new (<2 month) old hardware is supported
<5> May have to do a bit of googling for drivers
<4> ive only ever had linux running on nvidia cards, whats the suppord for radeon like?
<6> ati is ok
<6> nvidia has better software ati has better drivers inVho
<6> imVho
<7> hi, is ASRock a bad model motherboard? It seems to be the cheapest so just wondering.
<7> and what about Foxconn?
<1> the asrocks have been reviewed well
<1> dunno much about the foxconns tho
<1> i wouldn't suggest skimping on a mobo
<1> that should be the nicest component in your system
<7> I guess I'll go with ASRock good reviews + cheap = :D
<8> i have an asrock dual sata2, and it runs completely stable for me
<8> x2 3800
<7> I'm just getting a socket A one
<8> 2 gig of ram, ive used a 9800 pro in it, and im using a 7800gt now
<8> the socket A's might be the trashy ones :P
<8> only the newest ones are the good ones i thought
<1> well immediate stability is one thing...
<1> lets see how long those caps last
<9> is a 4 gb Page file healthy?
<7> hmm..
<8> i have yet to have *any* motherboard have an issue with caps
<8> i would find it odd
<4> i have a 2pgb page dile on its own partition
<1> gryto, see if you can find an a7n8x-e deluxe, nf-7s (something or other) or lanparty
<1> those are all good boards
<8> ill agree on the a7n8x, i had one previous to this board. very nice, very stable
<9> benjr_ does having it on a seperate PArtition affect anything?
<9> And is it good
<9> because I have 3 partitions
<9> Can I make a page for EACH one .. and will it help?
<4> madbox, i ***ume it stops the file fragmenting but im not sure, dosnt hurt
<7> dlion: they don't seem to have any models of that name, the two I was looking at were K7VM3 and K7S41GX
<1> madbox, doesn't make any diff, unless you put it on a different phsycial drive
<9> Yeah I am wondering If having a 4 gig Partiotn would be nice
<9> IT will be on a dif Physical Drive
<1> and, in that case, performance increase is negligble
<9> What you mean negligble
<9> as in I shouldnt do it?
<1> as in, doesn't really mateer
<1> sec, gryto, lemme see what i can find
<4> i dont think 4gb is unhealthy, but it seems wasetful
<9> Should I go somewhere around 3 gigs
<9> my Phyisical Memory is 1.5 gigs
<1> hmm gryto, looks like they dont sell em anymore
<1> unless you wanna go on ebay, then get something cheap
<7> I think maybe they're NZ models, because I googled those models and some NZ sites came up
<4> well with sizes of harddrives nowdays a 1gb isnt that much so if your unsure go for the bgger page file, unless your short on space
<1> the models i suggested are nz models?
<1> i dont think so
<1> those are the top rated boards in NA
<1> err north america
<7> dlion: no I meant the models that I pasted
<1> oh ;p
<4> im in nz, i can look them up on some local sites of you tell me those models again
<1> it maye be time to move on from socket a anyway ;p
<7> K7VM3 and K7S41GX
<9> So what is a good Page File Size though?
<1> madbox, if you are gonna set a static one, maybe double the size of your ram
<7> dlion: I'm doing the research for my brother, he's the one whos buying for himself, it depends how much he's willing to spend
<9> ok thx
<1> sure
<1> anyone try that ie7 beta?
<4> both those boards are available here, about $40 and $50 usd respectively
<4> if i buy 2 ram stick at the same time, of the exact same type fomr the same store, can i be ***ured theyll work with dual channel, or do i have to buy a twin pack?
<1> they should work just fine
<10> mm
<10> i hate this neverending developing of everything.. nowadays DDR Ram has reached its limit (almost atleast) when it comes to timings, and then we have the DDR2 Ram with faster mhz but crappy CL timings.. makes me nuts when trying to deside what to go for.. i want fast timings for the gaming pc im ordering.
<10> grr
<8> if you are ordering a gaming pc, i hope you're getting an athlon 64, which leaves you with no choice but ddr anyway
<4> those kinds of numbers look nice on paper, but what kind of real wrold difference does it make? 2-3fps?
<10> it makes a difference.. thats all i know.. especially when it comes to gaming
<10> prolly not just some remote fps gain.
<4> i think youd be better to by the 2nd best thing at about 50% the price, thne yul be able ot upgrade again sooner anyway
<10> i've thought of that.. and if i do i should go for some Pentium with DDR2 support i guess..
<8> again: if you are ordering a gaming pc, the only way to go is athlon 64.
<8> even a low end a64 can hand a high end P4 its head in gaming
<4> pentiums are better for compiling programs and stuff like that i think
<7> how is AMD sempron?
<8> budget
<4> like an athlon
<10> yeah, but then i will have to replace motherboard and memory if i want sum faster ddr2 memory when amd supports it. which wont be atleast until CES 2006 (or what it was called again)
<4> and by that time something even better again will be out
<10> prolly
<10> argh.. (im goin nuts)
<8> 2nd half of the year if you want to wait
<8> its not that far off
<8> the ddr/ddr2 argument is meaningless vs the architectural differences between the a64 and the p4 in gaming.
<10> it's my littlebrother who's gettin the pc.. he does not have one now, he's addicted to css & **** and not very patient either :)
<4> i only things i upgrade are more ram, hdd and video cards. by the time my processor needs upgrading you often cant get one compatible with the mobo anymore
<8> get him a a64 3200 or something
<8> 6800gs
<8> it would run css into the ground
<4> getting a 3800 wont make him get more headshots
<11> are there any places that could demagnetize a hdd?
<4> drawde ouch that sounds nasty
<10> im thinking bout going for a a64 4000+, 2gb low latancy ram, sli motherboard and a gf 7800 gt gfx card.. that should hold for a while i think.. he can save some more money for an additional 7800 gt later also..
<1> hmm and this is going to be under 2k?
<4> dont hdd have some kind of sheild form magnetic forces?
<6> lol
<10> around 2k :)
<6> :O)
<6> no 7800gt
<6> GET 6800GS 256 from EVGA
<6> ownz for 1/2 the cash
<7> Is Asus a good mother board?
<4> yes
<6> i have a 7800GT
<1> yes gryto it is
<10> like i said.. not that much cheaper in norway :)
<1> i have a 7800gt and i like it
<7> dlion: cool
<6> EVGA makes top mobos too
<6> ASUS is ok IF you buy top end
<8> wow yer talking about spending a ****load on yer brother
<6> i prefer MSI neo Platinum
<1> evga makes top mobos? dont think so...
<1> they are rebadged jetway
<10> well. its his first pc.. he chips in with some money too.. and atleast i'll get to have my own pc for myself ;)
<6> mine is amazing
<8> how old is he
<6> never a BSOD not 1
<1> you using that freebie that came with vid card?
<10> just turned 16
<6> not 1
<6> not 1 been 4 months
