Sweet I will be checking out LR like usual so I too am in.

No I havent switched the video card around again. It works... Im going to just leave it at this point.

No problems found.

Did a windows repair.. no dice. Oh well, I guess I just wont reboot that often.

I still think the Xbox 360 is the best media extender... I was not digging the UI on this machine. My Buffalo LinkTheater PC-P3LWG/DVD server software does not work on Win 7. So, I had to buy a used Xbox 360 for only $70 sans games and controllers. All I need it the box and a remote I will buy at Be...

Would that cause the ridiculous time in post?

I did a check on times. Here is a breakdown on the boot process: 1 minute 8 secs: time from boot beep to ram showing up in post process 12 seconds: time from ram showing up to getting to 'Starting Windows' screen. 1 minute 6 secs: time from 'Windows Starting' screen to actually loading Windows and t...

Okay, not I am having wierd error after opening up the case and switching the cards. You know when the computer posts and it shows the processor type then shows the amount of ram? Well, I get a weird freeze of 1 minute 8 seconds between those steps. Finally it sees the ram and continues the rest of ...

I am not trying to crossfire.... I know they are not meant to and heck the 3400 cant even crossfire (at least not the one I have). I switched slots and all is good now.

I am tempted..... but 40 gb just may not be enough for what I want to do. Which is why I'm buying two for RAID-0 use. Win7 takes up about 20gigs of space and I will pair it with a 1TB or 1.5TB secondary drive. Yeah.... I am afraid of raid 0. Ive had it fail and lost all my data. I currently have 3x...

Okay so I have another question. I have 3 lcds with dvi connections and a Radeon 5870. Because the Radeon 5870 only supports 2 dvi + 1 displayport, I cannot power all three monitors on one card. I installed a Radeon 3400 to power my third monitor. So, I put the 3400 in the top pci express slot close...

So I just re-read this review. How did you get the bus up to 279 and 319? I swear I go over 205 and the whole system crashes.

Thanks for the help!

So, what kind of frequency are you able to eek out on your board? Anything above 205 and I crash....

Oops! I meant recommendation!

I need at least 4 pci-e connectors to run crossfire.. I guess that will determine what I get... maybe I will just get http://www.frys.com/product/5598360?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG All you need is a 850W PSU the two I show you do have 4 pci-e. Thanks for the *recommendation. I ended up getting the...

That crackle happens every time you stress the PC and you don't get a blue screen? If so you need a new PSU, the only thing you should hear is the fan. That crackling is the capacitors under load. One of these two PSU's is the best ones to get. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Subm...

What would you like to know? Most only thing I have changed is the memory settings.

Hum. So I decided to run a stress tet on the Radeon 5870. As soon as the test starts, a wierd crackling noise comes out of the PSU. Eventually the whole computer shuts off in mid test. I took video/audio of the crackling. Could a bad PSU be causing all these problems? What do you think of the noise ...
