Hi all, I have a D865PERL non raid motherboard. I installed XPH on it just fine on a SATA drive. Now I want to add an IDE hard drive. I made it master and booted uip XP but XP doesn't see it. Is there anything in the cmos that I need to change so XP can see the new IDE drive? I don't want...

Hi all, I need to put together a 1U file server. I would like to know which of the newer chips runs the coldest because that seems to be a big issue with 1U cases and the fans on the cpus are real short. Speed is a secondary issue. thanks, charles....

Hi all, I have had this mb for a while, SE7525RP2, and I would like to put a couple of cpu's in it and get it up and running. My question is which pair gives the best bang for the buck. When I started watching cpu prices near the end of last year, the 3.8/2M were going for around $850 and now...

What new is available in rev.E0 that is missing in rev.C0? Is it much better to pay extra $?

hey all, I'm working on a simple program to detect the mother board's sound card (ac97). This program just takes the vendor and device id number and checks to see if that device is present. On both a very old computer (~1996) and a much newer one (~2005) my program says no ac97 found. It could...

X-No-Archive: yes Just upgraded my processor from a P4 1.7 - P4 3.06ghz. The problem is Windows 98 SE always locks up at the same point at the start. I established that the system is stable by putting windows XP on an external hard drive and running PRIME95 & MEMTEST. Both ran fine for hours...

Hi, I just assumed ownership of a P4 MB. It appears the heat sink support mechanism is not securely mounted to the MB. I can wiggle each corner off the MB by maybe 1/32". In my mind that will place most the stress of the heat sink onto the cpu and MB. The white push pins appear to be in all...

I have installed two Western Digital Raptor 36GB drives on a test machine. They connected via Serial ATA cables to an Intel 875PBZ motherboard. Intel RAID is enabled. I have setup a RAID 0 array with 128Kb stripe. Basically, I go through this sequence: a) XP boots off the CD drive b) I press F6...

Hi all, I'm still using a computer that I assembled around 5 yrs back. It has a 1.4 GHz P4 processor and an Intel 850 GB board. The problem is that the Power Supply stopped working a few days back. I went to hunt for it in the hardware stores here and none of them have the obsolete power supply...
