Thanks, are there any settings I have to set before running the program?

Just downloaded it and burned the image to a dvdr- (didn't have any blank cds) will this still work? And can I (is it recomended) run memtest while my computer is overclocked, or do i have to reset bios back to stock? Since I've never used this app. before, some advice on how to run it and...

Thanks, all of you. This is why I became a Hardforum member. You helped me build a good computer. You helped me learn to overclock it. Now your helping me learn other things I didn't know I could do with it. And just think, some people only surf the web. :rolleyes: Keep it up fokes...

OK tell me more. this VM thing is new to me. But being a sandbox, if I reboot everything's gone, right?

So that's 4 partisans on 1 drive? Is that even possible?

Not trying out 3d games, just want to try out 7 OS, why? Tell me more about this VM ( virtual machine I assume your talking about, right?). I wasn't even sure/didn't know if you could make more than 1 partition on a drive, that's why I was asking.

I have 2 hard drives. 1st one is partitioned with XP and programs and the rest is media. 2nd drive is used for back ups of the second partition (media, photos, drivers, program files, etc.) of the first drive (second partition) in case of a reformat/reinstall. I would like to try out Windows...

Yes, got a folder named "NVIDIA Demos". Thinking about just deleting the files off the "c" drive under program lists.

Cleaning my computer of unnecessary programs. Found some old nVidia demos (Luna and Nalu). Can't find an "uninstall" anywhere for them. No uninstall in the program folder,or the start/program menu. Nothing listed under "add/remove programs" or CCleaner. Not even Revo uninstaller...

Thanks for the input/recommendations. Looking at GIMP and Paint.net now. Unfortunately I cant find the free full version of paint shop pro 9. All I can find is 30 day trial version. I notice that people use these programs for photo manipulation. Can they also be used to create art from...

Yep, that's exactly what I wanted to do. I just wanted to be sure that changing the position of the hard drives to horizontal from vertical after having ran them that way for a while, wouldn't cause a problem with the hard drives somewhere down the road. I know at one time , they recommended...

Like I said, my 13 year old daughter is a GREAT artist (paper and pencil/inks), but the only computer program we have for her to use (since shes on the computer ALL the time) is MS paint. And MS paint isn't really that good. So she asked me for a better program. Anybody got any recommendations...

I would like to add an Accelero S1 to my video card and cool it with my my intake fans. But right now my 2 hard drives are in front of my intake fans in a horizontal position. (see pic.) I have the option of moving the hard drives up, and into a horizontal position, but I'm concerned that...

I performed a (first time) mild overclock on my Q6600. Didn't adjust any voltages. Only turned off EIST, raised the FSB from 266 to 334. Left everything on auto. I would love to get 3.4 out of this, where do I start? This is a screen while running Prime95 - everything look alright?

Yea, I think I understand. But where did you get the multiplier of 5? Thanks.

Alright, set PCIe to 100 Chose 1:1.2 (which came up as 801 for ram?) But now CPUZ shows 5:6 as my ratio.

I performed a (first time) mild overclock on my Q6600. Didn't adjust any voltages. Only turned off EIST, raised the FSB from 266 to 334. Left everything on auto. This is my memory: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Brand G.SKILL Model F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ...

Twice you mentioned "where do I put the tower?" Why not just put it on the end of the desk? Mines about 3 feet away and looks fine there. Off the floor, plenty of airflow - do'n just fine. Of course its pretty, and I don't mind looking at it :D

I currently use a Corsair TX750W PSU in the rig in may signature (a great PSU by the way). I'm helping a friend build a system for himself. I told him, I'm sure I got more power than I needed for my system, but I consider it future proof for upgrades (plus I got a good deal on the PSU). Am...

Jeff, your a good man.:) Good to have Reps on board:)

Cool, gotta new wallpaper - thanks:p

Go with the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 w/retention bracket. Using it on my current rig (see specs) Temps idle: 27,28,27,24 Temps under load (running Prime):46,45,45,45 Defiantly best bang for the buck. :)

I keep finding posts talking about getting better frame rates using "certain" resolutions depending on your card and the size of your monitor and what resolution you play at. Can someone explain - and maybe give me an option for what I should use for gaming using the rig in my signature...

+1, - well said :D in fact, I need one with a blue back lite to match my computer lights.

thank you:)

First, I'd like to thank everyone who helped me build this rig. Too many names to remember them all, but thank you. I found this forum googling for for information on what was at the time, going to be my nextbuild. The first build I was going to do on my own. I started using the search feature...

site posting problems - double post -sorry :(

FREE CARD?-Awwwlll Riiight! I'm in. Giggidy Giggidy! :D

Sorry to sound like a noob, but what is VID an how do I find it?

Very cool and retro. Might I suggest, the top panel where the game controllers usually are, put he board in and cut it out so a keyboard an roller ball mouse can be mounted up from underneath. That would look cool and keep w/the video arcade game theme. Again, very cool idea. oops. just...

Hmm, I'll be damned. :rolleyes: Guess it's time to edit the sig. :p Thanks again :)

Thank you. I never found that picture (Googled Corsair 750TX fan specs). I appreciate you posting that. With the detailed pic you posted, I was able to find these specs: Yate Loon D14BH-12 140x140x25 Volt:12 / Speed: 2800 RPM / Air Flow: 140.0 CMF / Noise: 48.5 dB Had no idea it was...

But the question is, why in the hell did Newegg send you a European power cord? Thats deffinatly not the one they show in the listing.

Trying to figure the fan specs (case pressure) for the fans in my rig, and I can't find any info (yes, I googled first) on specs for the 750TX fan except that it's a 140mm fan. Anyone got any info on what the fan specs are on this excellent (recommend it to all) PSU? Thanks:)

What he said :D .

When I upgrade to Vista, I want 64 bit :).

While at Best Buy the other day w/the family, I was checking out Vista. Box has no mention of 32 bit or 64 bit (except Ultimate). Interested in Home Premium (can't find a reason for Ultimate unless someone can point one out). Anyways, I'm interested in a 64 bit version, how do I get one ...

I wonder if it came from performing a search on the drive?

My Daughter wants me to build her a rig for Christmas, and I'm cool with that. I've got enough spare parts to do the job. I have a retail version of XP Pro that I'm currently using on this system. Can I use the same licence for her build or do I have to get her her own? Thanks in advance.
