    SSD choice, need some input

    I may have mis-stated, all im doing is saying what I have found on various forums and review sites. I assume there are only so many lanes avaialbe for data whether it be from pci-e or sata ports and the Marvell 9128 does not handle the data at the speeds that a good SSD such as the vertex 3 can...

    SSD choice, need some input

    My motherboard does in fact have the connectors for 6gb/s (aka SATA III). Unfortunately I have found out that the Marvell chipset that is included on my motherboard uses a pci-e x1 lane and therefore does not give the full benefit of Sata III. I will most likely stick with the ocz-vertex that I...

    SSD choice, need some input

    So i'm looking to buy a new SSD for my gaming rig. I would like to keep the capacity around 120gb and SATA III interface. I was gonna grab the Agility 3 from OCZ, the read and write speeds look really good however I read a review that said the real world performance was unimpressive. I want to...

    Blue screen on boot with no hardware or software changes

    My computer (Asus mobo, i7 -930, 6gb ddr3, 90-gb ocz vertex ssd) randomly started to blue screen on startup right after the loading windows 7 animation (doesnt even get to the desktop). This started right out of the blue (no pun intended). I had just used the computer a few hours ago, went to...

    SSDs, Trim, and Raid

    When I build my gaming computer, I looked into putting SSDs in a raid. I found that most raid controllers did not support Trim at the time. I was just wondering if any progress had been made since I built my computer and if the new controllers supported Trim? Thanks!

    Random Memory Errors

    Any specific way to test for this, I was thinking it was something motherboard related....although I was telling myself that evga was a good company making good boards....?

    Random Memory Errors

    Normally I would agree, but i'm pretty sure that this has happened before (the main reason that I stopped using the computer in the first place). It seems to happen after I have let the computer sit unused for a while and then tested. Once I start all the testing, the problem disappears....

    Random Memory Errors

    Put all 4 sticks back in and have left it running for 7 hours so far (letting it go overnight as well). No errors yet....This is strange b/c it had only been running an hour or maybe a bit more when it got tons of errors (all 4 sticks). Could it be some kind of flexing on the motherboard or...

    Random Memory Errors

    Ran them for about an hour, I know a good test runs them for 24...but the first time errors came up (with all 4 sticks) it was after only approximately an hour.

    Random Memory Errors

    The computer in question was/has been crashing during gaming and internet browsing if I remember correctly (its been a while since I actually used it). I decided to try and find out what is wrong with it now and put it to good use. At first I ran memtest86 on all 4 sticks of ram. I came back...

    Mirroring a hard drive onto a usb drive

    I am looking for a program (either freeware or paid) that will basically - at a set time - mirror the contents of a hard drive to a usb drive. I do not want it to "backup" the contents into some kinda of backup file...what I am looking for a is a program to mirror all the contents to the usb...

    Case Choice

    Sean, what makes you say that? I personally dislike the slab of aluminum appearance of the corsair although I do really like the way that the cable management is setup and the fact that it has separate "heat zones." I was just about to go with the 932 for the looks alone (not the right reason...

    Case Choice

    I have all the other pieces for my new build picked out but im having a really hard time choosing a case. I want the case to have good cable management, be able to fit a GTX 480 and have good airflow. The cases that I have found so far are the: Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER HAF 932 RC-932-KKN1-GP...
