I changed everything a bunch of settings in the bios pertaining to the nic and mac address, but nothing worked. So i set everything back and out of curiousity enabled sata ports 3-4 where previously they were disabled now it works perfectly and has ...

Tried that, still no go.Its wierd cause reseting the computer is crude version of /renew but one works and the other doesnt even though the basically do the same.I just tried manually entering the mac in the bios so well see what happens....

Mine has the same issue, except to get mine working again i have to restart the computer.All the other computers in my house dont loose connection, just mine. Guy from Road Runner is goin to come look at the cables on the outside tomorrow, but im alm...

(LithoTech)Initially, the "99" monikor had me squinting, but I googled it anyway. From here: Three SATA-II Hard Drives Reviewed Having a real tough time finding a download for it. When/if I do, I'll post my screens of results. Here yah ...

FF all the way! I used opera way back, i didnt really like it that much, maybe ill give it another try. But right now im interested in IE 7 beta2. (EllisD)Odd that an incorrect system date prevented you from getting onto secure sites. I have been u...

Try running some winbench99, its a lot more accurate of a test than any of those....

You just gotta be careful to who you listen to on some forums and always get multiple opinions. Just suck it up as a hard lesson learned, i know i have numerous times not do to the same situation but close, i think we all have. In the future you'll ...

(GRIMLOG)Yes, That The Place Where I Was Told Would Be The Dream Spot. Is This A Moral Issue For You? WOW that sucks, that was definetly the sweet spot...........of death, poor cpu never had a chance. Do u have another board to try it in? If its a ...

Ok i figured i would post this here even though no one seems to need this info. If you want to use the top 16x pci-e slot on the ultra-d for something like a raid controller u have to perform the sli mod on it to make it work. Took 15 min to do an...

Ok so long story short the 16x slot on the mobo is useless for anything but another video card, unless it runs in 2x mode, which is also useless. ...

(technodanvan)Best I can suggest is do whatever the manual says, perhaps you're supposed to load the software first. Otherwsie, you might want to try posting during the day or this weekend...not a lotta people on this late. lol, yah i didnt think...

I just got the card and the mobo bios doesnt want to recognize it when its in the top 16x slot and the vid in the bottom 16x. Jumpers are set to sli 8x/8x. No one have any experience with this? HELP?...

I guess what i meant was, to measure the speed, not simulate, bad choice of words. I think most know that thier is a difference between measured speed and the speed you can feel when u use it, usually it takes alot more of the measure speed to make ...

Fan grills are over rated, i dont even use them anymore, i must have 3-4 dozen various ones collecting dust. All they are is bling that cuts down on air flow and creates more noise. Of course they save your fingers sometimes too ...

(blinker0)IOMeter Is a great program.. It is more acurate. But is realy better used on server setups. For it to work as designed. the drives have to be empty/clear of any DATA. As it writes the entire drive, And measures from that data So your sayin...

Has anyone used IOmeter before? I just downloaded and it seems like it has a lot more accuracy to it do to all the configuration options that allow u to test specific things....

I just ordered the 4x port 1210 version (8x pci-e) and was wondering if anyone has any experience using it in the second pci-e vid slot. Right now my video card is in the second slot so the jumpers are set to have both slots at 8x so im assumeing t...

(newguy)Just got a 80GB raptor from DELL... WD800GD Any good for this? Better or worse than the 74GB? Same thing, there is no such thing as an 80gb raptor, there are only 36gb, 74gb, and 150gb models. So more than likely you got the 74gb model, an...
