Yep - looks nice. When can I get it in black?
Antec Rep - product page on website has a comparison link...but with old data...has p160 and p180...but not the p150. fyi.
Looking forward to a review!

Try running each drive from the PCI RAID card. If they never freeze here, and always freeze when run from the mobo's IDE controller, then you know the problem is related to the southbridge... The old VIA 686 southbridge has a bug where it would freeze/reboot the system randomly when both primary and...

HIS x800GT IceQ II
For those that want a midrange Radeon solution instead of the 6600GT, HIS has brought out their version with the arctic cooler attached. PCI-e only, though. Looks like the turbo version goes for $180US . HIS product comparision chart Similar performance/power consumption to the 6600GT...and a tad be...

Hi, thanks for the input - but, really opting to minimize cost. Actually, there are two PC's being messed with. Both are using the Tyan mobo and have a 1.3 or 1.4GHz T-Bird. Both have an old Nexus CPU heatsink and 60mm fan....limited by the mobo's layout. Current thought is to yank off the fan and u...

A bit of an update.... Found a 256MB stick of PC133 at the local computer recycler (go Grey Bears!) for $15. It was a crapshoot as the memory wasn't guaranteed in any way and the dude working there manhandled the RAM as he pawed through the bin (no ESD protection). In any case, it's burning in now. ...

If you've been going between ATI and NVidia graphics cards, perhaps they've left a little bit of s/w behind that the add/remove program utility didn't get.

First of all, the 100k cycles refers to the Samsung chips...not a drive in particular... here's a quick look at Flash via wikipedia: One limitation of flash memory is that while it can be read or programmed a byte or a word at a time in a random access fashion, it must be erased a "block" at a time....

Thanks for the feedback, Mike. The other two folks - take a chill pill. Get a sense of community. go kick a dog. yeesh. Back to the topic at hand...

Actually I respect the groups' knowledge base to ask for for help even when the priority is $'s over dBA's. :-) It's unlikely that I will spend more than $125 or so on this system.

Try running a baseline with the current settings to confirm the artifacts...then lower the speed/performance settings say 20% and run it again. If no artifacts, you've sort of answered your own question. :-) It could be heat, it could be non-stable overclock, it could be the higher heat is causing n...
