Following situation: Have recently upgraded my CPU from celeron d (533mhz fsb) to P4 (800 mhz fsb). The weird thing is that after the upgrade my pc3200 ram bandwidth is decreased cca 700 MB/s (i.e. read value, from 2750 MB/s to 2050 MB/s). I have played a bit with timings in bios but no...

Well, the "optimal" stripe size is elaborated often enough and my personal opinion is that there isn't such thing, anyhow my controller offers 16 - 256 k sizes, and probably it can't handle "extremes" (haven't tried 256k yet) :) And of course, there is the disks issue, they aren't same. As I'm...

Thx 4 reply Is the "unmatching" of discs the reason that i can't successfully set stripe size of 16k? I can install win xp on it but as soon as I start everest for instance, I get BSOD IRQ_DRIVER_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS and as cause is mentioned the scsiport.sys?:wtf: Currently the stripe is set...

Hi 2 all I have recently built a RAID0 array, anyhow, my disc access time is between 16 and (very often) 20 ms. My discs are DiamondMax 10 & 20, and actually the access time should be <9 msec (access time of each of the discs in single mode). Stripe is 64k, cluster size is win default 4k...

Hi, I have very simple question regarding RAID 0: Is it possible to create it with SATA HDDs that have same speed, cache and capacity but aren´t same model/maker? I´m planning to buy an additional HDD but unfortunately it´s a little bit heavier to find an exact model I already have in my PC...

Hmmm, what's wrong now....the speakers or the PSU??? The PSU is actually new, less than 2 months, and with older PSU it happened as well... Regarding grounding - are they grounded via power cord only or (somehow) on the 3.5" jack as well??? (I never "studied" speakers, I just use them) :o...

so guys, here's the problem: immediately AFTER the computer is powered down, some loud and scratchy noise comes from speakers, like some kind of discharging, 1-2 sec long :confused: ....sound card actually works fine (integrated ACL655 - AC97) as well as speakers (U.S.Blaster 4.1 system) -...

Ok, here it is: as it seems I had a short circuit on my case fans; after it my agp graphics do not work (one of the fans was attached to it). My mobo is ASUS P5S800-VM, does anybody know how far these 2 things (AGP port and case fan power) are related? Secondly, how possible is that "only" psu...

OK, here it's how it looks like (onboard devices section) Serial port 1 adress serial port 2 adr. parallel port adr parallel port mode ecp mode dma channel parallel port irq onboard game/midi port (now disabled) onboard lan (enabled) onboard boot rom (disabled) Any clues???? :-)

OK, once again.... Bloody POST beep comes trough both audio jack AND onboard speaker; and I would like to disable it through AUDIO JACK (I want it only throuh onboard speaker). Frogger - there is a option in bios to disable sound card, but it does not disable the beep on it. Unfortunately...

The problem is: The beep comes through integrated soundcard as well as through case speaker. Is there any possibility to disable it on the soundcard and leave it beepin' on the case speaker? As there are no direct options in bios, I couldn't disable it through bios. :banghead: Mobo: Asus...

WOW....so many replies :eek: (a bit late, but nevermind) ;) Yep, asus is fine, makes good stuff....but OC asus is really a messy thing :mad: It's really bad luck that all components are not even 6 months old, so I'm currently not in situation to upgrade.... 2 errorforce: locking agp/pci...

Well, as it seems nobody had similar problems or listed configuration :rolleyes: Btw, the video card is very-low-budget-underclocked version, 64 bit memory and 4 pipelines only (Asus version). Anyhow, it can be done, configuration can be overclocked, additional 300 mhz are possible. Firstly...

OK folks, here it is: MoBO is asus P5S800-VM, ati is radeon 9550 128 mb with samsung memory, cpu is celeron prescott 2,66 ghz. MoBo has some weird OC support, "AI Overclocking", that should set up "automatically" voltage & fsb (no manual option - unfortunatelly). AI Overclocking has following...
