I noticed it, but wasn't too worried. I installed everything just as it came and haven't messed with it any further...

Does this mean something is wrong and my voltage and speed shouldn't drop? It gets slow when multitasking. I'm not doing any extensive gaming, mostly just running a variety of applications (ex. browser, ftp client, compiler, winamp, my computer, dvd burning software, bit torrent, office...

The reason I ask is because things have always seemed slow on this system. It runs about as fast as my Dell Deminsion did with 1gb of ram... Any thoughts?

Alright, before I o/c, I want to make sure that my system is running as good/fast as it could be right now. I've taken some screen shots. If you want me to test anything else with any other utility, just ask and I'll post screenshots. I'm looking for someone to make sure I've got my ram in...

Yeah, as you'll notice from the page I posted, I found the links, ran the utilities and took screenshots. Could someone please look at the screenshots I posted and see if anything looks out of place? Should my RAM be in two channels instead of one?

That's the thing, it NEVER seemed much faster. I've simply been overwhelmed with college life and haven't had time to post and/or do anything about it. Here are some screen shots that I took when running some of the utilities... http://www.geocities.com/beamer7296/comp.html

and what should I be looking for? If I post some pictures, can you guys look them over?

Could you list some more details. Call me retarded, but how do I run those or where do I get ahold of them? Thanks for bearing with me here guys...

About 4 months ago, I threw together what I thought would be a beast of a computer. My specs are as follows... Processor: E6600 Motherboard: PB5-E Graphics Card: 7600 GT RAM: Buffalo Firestix 2 GB PC6400 DDR 800 With the intentions of overclocking it at a later date, I also purchases a...

I'm not sure where the drivers are (or if there are any that came with it). Would any general raid card drivers work?

I probably don't even need to set up a raid to do this do I? Please help!

I'm using a P5B-E mobo and 2 general maxtor hdd's. One is 200GB and the other is 160GB. There is only one place to plug in an IDE cable on the mobo which was going to my 200gb hdd and my dvd-rw drive. However, I want to add the 160gb hdd only for additional storage space (I don't want a...

yeah, I was planning on following the instructions located here: http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_instructions_big2.htm I'm still really nervous about doing this though. Is my CPU in jepardy if I use too much?

Will this work? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835100007

Well I don't even have my stuff yet (it's on its way) so I don't know if you would consider what I'm going to have as more or less airflow... They both appear to be very large, am I going to have problems with this?

Which would be better for my E6600 (regardless of price)? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835185027 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835185038 The ninja and the infinity both have really good reviews, just wanted to get a final opinion before I...

Not much... I don't think I'll try and push it past 3 GHz, atleast for a while. Definitely don't want to spend over $50...

what aftermarket heatsink would you guys reccomend and why?

anything besides a larger HSF that I will for sure need? The case comes with 2x 120mm fans... I'll probably wait to see if I can do it w/o a larger HSF...

I just ordered the following computer parts and was wanting to know if I need additional cooling and if so, what I need: NZXT Apollo Case E6600 processor P5B-E mobo 7600GT video card 2gb buffalo firestix pc6400 ddr2 800 ram I'm planning to overclock the system as far as I can with...

Which one's better? 7600GT https://host201.ipowerweb.com/~hwrebuil/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=220 X1600XT http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102060

The more I think about it, the more I realize that I really don't have time for playing games. Getting a new computer isn't going to give me anymore time than I have now... I just need something that's solid and can run pretty simple games (ie Diablo, SC, WC3, etc). I found a good deal on a...

can you guys please post why?

I have a little bit more money to spend and would maybe want something a bit nicer... I was thinking this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130056 post your thoughts...

that makes sense... now back to the brand question. what brands should i stick to, gigabyte, asus, evga, etc...

does brand matter? If so, which one's should I stick to? also, i'm still confused about the DVI slot (i've never seen a monitor that requires this slot, i've only used the d-sub slot). Thanks

yes, nothing too intense for now though (just because I don't have the time). At some point there will be some WoW playing along with other blizzard games like Diablo 2 and starcraft...

P5B-E, I ended up getting some firestix. This was a self-build...

any benefits of going deluxe?

What does a WiFi Mobo allow you to do? My conscious tells me that if I don't know, I probably don't need one... Thanks in advance, and I appologize for the dumb question!

I don't need a top of line video card (atleast for now). I'm new to building computers and was curious if some newer monitors need the DVI slot on video cards. Every monitor I've ever dealt with requires just the D-SUB slot. At some point I would like to probably run dual monitors. I want to...

Alright. I'm getting an E6600 processor. However, I don't really need the SLI of a 680i. I'm looking for something that is overclockable and maybe a bit cheaper than the 680i. I'll be running 2 gb of firestix for my ram...

As far as a mobo goes I can't really afford much right now. I'm a college student and can't really afford what I'm getting, for now It'll be something like a GeForce 7100GS... I will probably be running 3-4 case cooling fans...
