@tycoonbob @parityboy Thank you for the good info, learn something every day So Dell Perc 6/i 's are great bang for the buck, hardware raid, good for RAID 5, do they do any non standard RAID 5 algorithums?, so if the controller dies?,...
Ok, if I were to drop the firmware RAID, then what kind of prices.models would a good RAID 5 controller be (SATA with at least 4 ports), the ones ive seen are "Adaptec" or the like, and those are about 300-500. Also, software RAID?,...

Quote:Originally Posted by killabytes Number 1 issue I see here is Windows 7. It's not a server OS, drop that for a true server OS. Number 2; your RAID "Controller". It's going to be slow and it's going to depend on your CPU for...
Sounds really interesting! Low end - Mid Range is where the most exciteing OC'ing is (for me anyway), besides seeing someone do a suicide run with a 500+ video card, lol. Quick question though, about the choice of benchmark, all of...
Fellow OCN's, Just a quick question for the other server smart community, which CPU to go with for a new home server build, host OS will be Win7 Ultimate. Things im considering; Heat, Noise, Application Specific Performance...
I already have the Core 2 Quad Q9650 on another machine, so taking price out of the picture here, this is just to figure out which is the better processor for gaming. Edit: @itzhoovEr Yeah I already was looking / am looking at the...
Just as the title says, which CPU is best for gaming at both 1680x1050 and 1900x1200? Core i3-2100 @3.1 Ghz vs Core 2 Quad Q9650 @ 3.0 Ghz With all the other system parts being identical (GPU/Memory/HDD/Ect). ,Thedarklord
Ok, thanks everyone for your input! Looks like im going to go with the i3-2100 as it does give similar if not better performance than the Q9650 I have sitting around. And between Sandy Bridge / Ivy Bridge if she starts to see games being...
