Computer Stuff

[Ed Blown Vert]

After seeing my Friends (Mike's02Z28M6) new PC running all the new games at 50-100+ FPS. I thought it was time to upgrade my old P4 which had an ATI X1300 Pro Vid card.(Playing at 20-30 FPS really sucked.)

So decided I would go for broke and build a new PC. (Damn you Mike)

I just picked up an:

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6600, 4MB L2 Cache, 2.40GHz, 1066MHz FSB.

DDR2 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400 800MHz Dual

ATI Radeon X1900 XTX, 512 Megs, Crossfire Ready

Asus P5W DH Deluxe Intel® 975X Express Socket LGA775 ATX Motherboard. Supports Crossfire








I hope its fast enough.

I hope your going to run raid-0 SATA on that! That should be a nice system.

Gotta have something else besides cars to play with.

Actually runinng SATA Raid 1

The Raid 0 will add major drive access speed due to the data stripping. You can always get 2 more drives and set up the 0+1 for the best of both.

True, but I prefer data integrity over speed right now.

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

That's what backups are for. Your an F-body guy so it's all about the speed!

My mirror is my backup.

Ya, I will eventually run 4 drives. I used to run 15k Cheetah SCSI drives. But they were damn expensive.

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

That's the way to do it unless you want to go crazy with the pricey SCSI stuff.

[Ed Blown Vert]

SCSI was nice a fast. I saw a difference when I switched from it to SATA. But it just wasn't worth the cost for the speed.

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

I'm sure with the right geek behind it, it could.
