@ pioneerisloud

I would look for a proper bolt on mounting bracket. The penny tricks works and such but I would worry about it "slipping" down becuase of the clips.

I have never lapped a Cooler, CPU, or removed an IHS

i lied, i removed the IHS on a K6 once after my friend tried to do the same, and actually cracked the CPU in half! Luckily we had a box of them so I removed one and we went to see what we could do to OC it. As you all know Motherboards back then were bad so how far did we get? ---not very far---

But some of the bst temp's anyone has ever seen on the K6 line =)
thing's were like nuclear reactors.

yet another weekend goes by
and I still have not messed with my ram - I would love to get my memory to finally work in Dual Channel, maybe my timing's are too tight and keep that from happening.

Dual-channel should not require any looser timings than single-channel in my experience.

StormX2 · 08-25-08

strange, I have never got my machine to boot in dual channel mode.

Bad DIMM slots, perhaps?

Which channel did you try, Yellow or Orange?

Incidentally, I've read that the Orange channel allows for better OCing than Yellow for whatever reason for most of these DFI LANParty boards.

Good luck.

ahh i forgot, i think the closest Slot is orange so i originally tried with that orange slots, and it just never worked of course at stock speeds.

I am goign toformat my drives for the release of Warhammer online and start fresh.

I had made the mistake of partitioning my drives, and well i think i did them stupidly so its always a little messed up.

but i have 2 x 250 gb Seagates that want to be used.
so at that point how would you guys suggest I do my harddrive.

partition 1 for OS + games? or just run i all as is and defrag it now and then?
as i have it now, OS partition of 6 gb, 2nd partition for games 50gb, and the rest to a third partition for programs and files.

though this seems to not be a happy way of doing things ^^
Was nto sure if maybe i should try to raid the 2 drive and use my current as a packup
and obviously not do any form of partitioning..

Anyway all advice happily taken on this matter, as I have never done raid before, and dont know What I need in order to do that with XP Pro 32 bit and my current Mobo.

also I have no floppy drive lol!

blitz6804 · 08-25-08

If you have no floppy drive, RAID is not likely an option to you. Windows XP needs a RAID driver during install to be able to use a hardware RAID.

As to what *I* would do, I would use only one of the 250s in one 250 GB partition for everything. Periodically backup data to the other 250. If you CAN get RAID working, I would say go for RAID 1. If you need more storage, sell the two 250s and buy a 750 or something. I noticed no real difference in speed between RAID 0 and JBOD, but I did have the blaring disadvantage that if my RAID controller went Tango Uniform, I would be up the proverbial creek.

StormX2 · 08-25-08

lol yah the storage space isn't the issue, its all about performance =)

So i am Still unsure, do I care enough for a new GPU, that will obviously carry on with me o the next computer build someday, and in doing so, release the Huge bottleneck that my machine with Give it.

I have pretty much completely Dumped all my games in order to play Warhammer Online, wich i love, but I cant run it with AA at my res without loseing serious Framerate's in certain Areas (pvp with alot of characters on screen = death)

I mean honestly, would I even see a difference with my Current Processor speed if I changed up to a 4870 vs my GTS G80?

Cus its tempting, I can buy the Visiontek 4870 with Grid for 228.99 new

blitz6804 · 08-25-08

Anyone I can get away from nVidia and into ATI, I say go for it.

In all fairness, dollar-for-dollar, you are likely better served with another GTS G80. Your goal is to put on AA at 1680x1050; two GTSes should be able to handle that.

(I CAN tell you that one 3850 cannot do that. A 4850 maybe; but not a 3850.)

StormX2 · 08-25-08

yah I have pretty much rules ou the idea of the 3850/70
It either a second G80-(provide dmy PSU can handle) or a 4870, no less lol

or mayeb I go crazy and get a 4870 x2 haha!
