Great - so the reason we were all persuaded to go LGA1156 was due to the lack of cheap future upgrades for the X58 platform. If it keeps it's...
John T - I got myself an Eee Box (the original one) to use as an iTunes server. There's a hard-drive caddy on that system, similar to an old...
£323 on the Crucial site now! That's over £100 more than I paid. Novatech seem to be among the cheapest at the moment. I should have ordered two!
Good job - Dabs price now back up to over £270! Mine's installed and working, but awaiting Retail Windows 7 and a firmware update to enable TRIM.
All I can say is I'm glad I didn't wait! My 4850 will do just fine until I actually need a DX11 part. Looks like 5850 is the way to go when/if...
rpsgc - You were right. My Crucial SSD arrived today :-) All it needs now is the new firmware and some TRIM-supporting Intel Storage Matrix drivers.
Dabs now have the Crucial SSDs in stock at £219 and mine has shipped :-) Hopefully other retailers will follow suit.
I'm guessing because Crucial themselves are the only ones professing to have stock of the SSD right now - hence the very high price. They're only...
"Digital-only console"? Were UMDs analogue then?
With memory at 1.65V the system can now run Intel CPUburn for 10-passes on max without crashing. - which which 8gb RAM is well over 80 minutes....
Yep - passed 6 hours worth of tests without a single error on 'Auto' (1.50V), but the system fell over installing Windows. Crazy. Currently...
Still happy with my recent 4850 purchase for £70 inc VAT, delivered. Don't game enough to justify any extra outlay, and think my PSU will thank...
It's a good suggestion, but apparently it's DDR1333 @ 1.5V. These are they:...
Agreed. I might have to do some forensic work on the chips. The part number is definitely for a 1.5V kit. The 3-channel set of the same dimms...
An update: - Still with 2Gb RAM only I tweaked the timing to 2T from 1T, fixed the RAM voltage at 1.506V (these DIMMS are rated at 1.5V) and...
Well, given that I did manage to install it over USB, extract all the files from the ISO file to my USB key, and the MD5 checksum worked I think...
Yeah - I suspect it reflects the incidence of people with undiagnosed hardware/RAM faults sadly; certainly if my post-install experience is...
OK - an update. Decided the best way around the corrupt media issue was to do a USB-stick install by extracting the files from the ISO. Tried...
I hope you're right guys :-) I did have to Torrent the ISO, but did an MD5 checksum on it and compared the file size to make sure it was legit....
I am having some problems with my new computer set-up. :wallbash: The hardware I have is as follows: Intel Core i5 750 with boxed cooler (at...
