For some reason or another, I cannot overclock, not even one mhz, without encountering the problem of the Intel RAID controller not recognizing my 2 120gb Western Digital hard drives in a RAID-0 array. I have a 2.6c with stock cooling on an Abit IC7-G. I've never used RAID before on any...

Trying to GOOGLE to find out just what some of the BIOS settings on my Asus P4C800-E Deluxe mainboard do, but all I'm finding are overclocking stats... Basically, I'd like to find a site that explains the following in by BIOS: - DRAM burst length - DRAM idle timer - DRAM refresh rate - ICH...

does this motherboard support hyper threading?

Pls help: 20 to 30% performance increase here, but... Stabile at 2D, but drops to desktop after about 1 minute or 2 at 3D (PC mark2001 or CoD) . Since FBS 133 FBS ( before 100 ) I can´t see any PCI or AGP bus speeds anymore with prgs. I´m quite sure, could see PCI or AGP bus speeds before changing...

Just idling my case temp hangs around 32 deg. C but my CPU idles at around 52 deg. C. It can get up to 38/62 after playing a pretty heavy game. Now, my CPU's not overclocked, so that CPU temp seems pretty high...and the case temp seems pretty good. Since it doesn't look like the case temp is really...
