I just had to figure this out myself... 1. On the Synology NAS, Go to "Control Panel -> Shared Folder"... you should now be able to see the svn folder, but it's marked as 'Hidden in "My Network Places"'. 2. Select it, then click on "Edit". Uncheck the option that's making it hidden. 3. You...

Yeah, what you say above is true, but even for the 65nm quads (like the Q6600), the P6N just doesn't have all the right BIOS options to overclock it effectively (you really need to adjust the GTL voltages/offsets, or have the BIOS do a good job of it for you). But I do 3D modelling/rendering...

No, the 1.32 was just an earlier beta... I had actually switched to the release version, but forgot to update my sig. Most of my P6N system is now going into a build for my nephew... I've switched over to a Q6600 and DFI LanParty LT P35 board now (the P6N is not a great board for overclocking...

...which is why I hi-lighted it in bright yellow in the second post of this thread :).

Yeah, I really like the looks of that case and presumably, it'll be less expensive than the 690. My only question is about the (potential lack of) Reset button. I'm seeing a lot of cases these days with no Reset button, but I insist on having that functionality. I don't know if it's built in to...

I have to agree with much of the above, ie. if you're looking for quiet, then steel is the better choice in general (unless you want to spend time/money to add some dampening material inside). This review of the Silverstone TJ-07 should be very helpfull in that regard. This review of the Lian...

One more note... depending on how much of a hurry you are in, various cases go on sale all the time (usually involves a mail-in rebate though). So you can sign up for newsletters at Newegg, ZipZoomFly, Buy.com, etc. and also keep an eye on some of the coupon/deals sites and forums...

I've been researching inexpensive cases as well recently, so here's a few other suggestions... A couple of Ultra Products cases... Ultra X-Blaster Mid-Tower ATX Case ULT33178 @Frys for $55 + free shipping ($25 after $30 rebate) Ultra Gladiator Mid Tower ATX Case ULT33182 @Frys for $60 +...

Well, I set vMem to 2.0v and timings on auto (cpu is also not overclocked) and they booted up fine. Note that these are actually PC2 8000 (DDR2 1000) rated sticks, but with the low FSB, they came up at 2:3 ratio (DDR2 800) when set to auto. Apparently they use EPP to set the DDR2 1000 speed in...

I dunno but I just bought these 2x2GB G.Skills a week or so ago. I'm getting ready to swap out my board, but maybe I'll throw these in and see if they work before I swap the board out.

Thanks, but I was mostly just the facilitator (sp) - several others in this thread have provided valuable help though! I still like the P6N - it's sevrved me well, and been very stable, but my initial concerns came about from reading that the 45nm cpus (quads, at least) wouldn't be supported...

I wouldn't bother... you can get a really decent SATA CD/DVD drive shipped for ~$30ish bucks these days.

That's interesting that there's claimed support for at least the lower end 45nm quads... everything I've read so far was claiming that the 650i chipset wouldn't be able to handle those. On a related note - I'm getting ready to 'jump ship' as it were... I just ordered a DFI LanParty LT P35-T2R...

Gigabyte's Dynamic Energy Saver Detailed.

...just to clarify, P35 chipset does not support either SLI or full 16x2 (electrical) Crossfire. It only (officially) supports Crossfire and that's usually in 16x + 4x or in some cases 8x + 8x modes. - If you plan on SLI, you need to get a nVidia chipset board. - If you want full 16x2...
