Core 2 Duo 2.8ghz GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R MSI N260GTX-T2D896-OCv4 GeForce GTX 260 896MB SEAGATE 7K ST31000528AS Seems like the motherboard needs the regular ATX plug plus a 4 pinner, which isn't a surprise, but then I noticed it wants an additional 2 more 4 pin plugs. And I believe the...

This must draw so much electricity. I wish they put out the power consumption numbers. It would probably add a $120 a month or more to your monthly bill.

It seems there are no Socket 771 boards that support DDR3. Judging from the benchmarks I've seen, that seems to handicap the performance significantly, even making it lose to a qx9650 w/ DDR3. Does anyone know if they are planning to release a Socket 771 board with DDR3 support or a qx9775 in...

I'm looking to get the best power efficiency I can get from a video card while still having the best performance I can. It seems the new GeForce series does not seem to be much faster than the 8800 series, but has the power efficiency improved?

Enermax claims "82-88% efficiency @ 20-100% load. Compliant with ENERGY STAR® 4.0, Blue Angel and 80 PLUS® efficiency requirements. " The Seasonic is 78.3% efficient at 65W load ( http://www.silentpcreview.com/article656-page4.html ) I'm not sure how the new BFG one compares. 65W of...

I need to make a big RAID array, and it seems that the Gigabyte boards are the only ones that have 6 ports on a single ICH9R controller. I don't want to get a RAID expansion card because the ICH9R is supposed to be very good and can do the job. That would also mean I'd have to use a PCI-E slot...

Regardless of that, there is no power supply on the market that is even close to "Up to 95%" I think NewEgg got the PFC and Efficiency mixed up in the specifications. Don't blame me, blame NewEgg.

I'm basically shopping around for the most efficient power supply, and I came across this on NewEgg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817373004 95% efficiency? There doesn't seem to be any reviews. Is this thing for real?

My Deskstar drives did this for about 4 months before the drive totally failed. Run some low level testing software. It will probably say the drive is no good and cannot be repaired. I've been trying to decide to choose to buy these very Seagate drives or Raptors, and now I'm leaning toward the...

It's going to be on a PC. The controller will be the onboard Intel ICH9R, which I have read to be reliable and does reach high speeds. 10-bit 1920x1080i @ 29.97 fps is 249MB/s. You are right that the larger capacity will allow for faster speeds since it wont reach the end of the disks. Are you...

I need them for my video editing system that works with high definition video. It has to be a sustained rate of 250MB/s. I found a benchmark with 8 drives: http://www.barefeats.com/hard45.html And here's a benchmark with 2 drives: If 2 drives = 100MB/s, then 6 drives should equal 300MB/s...

I'm looking to put 6 Raptors in RAID 0. My target write speed is around 250MB/s. Anyone think I'll have problems reaching that?

I wonder why they removed it?

DDR 2 version http://www.ocworkbench.com/2007/gigabyte/p35-dq6/b1.htm Looks to be about the same as the ASUS Striker Extreme. I was hoping for better performance, maybe the DDR3 version will offer it.

So tempted to buy this. I'm going to wait for the DDR3 benchmarks. Hopefully they will be out in the next few weeks.
