One embarressing night of too much curry and not being able to get to the bog in time... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v187/bizket/21.gif

I knew what you meant, it was just the way I read it at first. Like shit on the walls was part of the list of stuff you actually had on the walls, lol.

Mmm, I had curry earlier

Ketxxx · Apr 8, 2009

Don't make me find a picture of projectile diahrrea

(sp?

)

alexp999 · Apr 8, 2009

I just found a WD6400AAKS for £53.62, really tempted to get it now.

What do people reckon it would improve, going Raid 0? Even faster boot times? Or is it limited by something else?

Ketxxx · Apr 9, 2009

RAID is just useful for drive mirroring really. If you visit kikatek you can get a WD Black 500GB for £50, better drive

alexp999 · Apr 9, 2009

Whats so much better about it?

And the thing is, I want a 640GB drive really otherwise there is wasted space.

I want to do Matrix raid, having a Raid 0 and Raid 1 partition.

Ketxxx · Apr 9, 2009

Its just faster at most things. Clicky

alexp999 · Apr 9, 2009

Uh, the drive I have is better than that in a lot of stuff. And even they say the SE16 is best VFM.

Hmm, I really want it but, its still £50, I might wait till its on offer somewhere.

Ketxxx · Apr 9, 2009

No its not, look at all the tests, the Black is better in a majority of them.

alexp999 · Apr 9, 2009

It would still be a waste of drive space, do they do a 640GB black?

Ketxxx · Apr 9, 2009

Don't know. They do a 1TB though

MoonPig · Apr 9, 2009

I just got the WD 500GB Black, i'd tell you how it performs ... BUT I DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER!

alexp999 · Apr 9, 2009

I have only ever half filled my drive, I'm only using 61GB now :laugh:

So I dont need 1TB, I dont need the space that Raid 0 wil give me, but I want to see what the performance is like. I want faster Win 7 boot! Its faster than Express gate SSD already!

MoonPig · Apr 9, 2009

Thats just greedy.. lol.

I'm going to use my 500GB Black for OS, Programs, Media. Then a Raid0 setup of 3 160/250GB Drives (7200RPM) for Games.

Ketxxx · Apr 9, 2009

My 500GB Black will arrive after I buy a new monitor. The Maxtor can scream to be put out of its misery a little longer.

_jM · Apr 9, 2009

Can I Join - Plus A Question

I have an ASUS P5Q
BIOS - 1306

Processor E5200

I have a question - I will admit that I am new to the INTEL game, so bare with me.
I recently upgraded from a ASUS P5GC - MX/1333 mobo which was running a E4500 Core 2 Duo CPU.
When I upgraded, I was blessed with a Intel E5200. My question is, which would be better in my ASUS P5Q, the E4500 Core 2 Duo or the E5200 Dual Core ?

DarkEgo · Apr 10, 2009

E5200, hands down.

Ketxxx · Apr 10, 2009

Depends how the E4500 OCs. On paper the Allendale architecture is better than the E5200s, which is based more on the old P4 architecture. E5x00 series also tend to have a low FSB threshold, whereas E4x00 series have a better one. I've not seen a E5x00 series above 360FSB to date, my old E4400 does 400FSB, your E4500 should be able to match that if not do better.

Added and welcome to TPU.

Though I have to agree with Ketxxx, the E4500 should in theory clock higher.

I can do 382x10.5

Inioch · Apr 11, 2009

Does anyone else have the same behaviour with P5Q Pro?

I just can't seem to run my memories with 1:1 setting, it's just not stable.

Im running 2x1 GSkill 800 4-4-4-12 @ 960 4-5-5-15 5:6.
The memories are definately holding my oc's back, which would be greatly helped by running the memories at 1:1. At the moment I'm @ 3.8 400x9.5. I'm trying to hit 4.0 @ 421x9.5, which should be quite easy, but the memories just don't work at those settings.

I tried 421 with vCPU, vNB, vSB & vMem bumped, but no help there.
That lead me to question the 1:1 strap, is it just not working?

Still less than the E4x00 series
