We'll be waiting a while for that one.

I was originally cynical about the jump from 2MB > 8MB. I quickly reversed my thinking.

16MB from 8MB is going to be awesome for HDD intensive apps (A/V Editing).

16MB of cache makes me want to weep in happiness!

Looks like a cut and paste spam message to me.

Probably just forgot to take out the 80 and make it a 250 or whatever.

Now I have to wait for a new SG HDD...Hopefully the price of the 7200.7 will drop some more. I love them!

Do you have the DTR (or Mobile) CPU? If you do, then you don't have a heatspreader. This causes a 2mm gap that needs to be filled - people use washers on the screws to accomplish this.

Hope this helps...

I remember when I was in the 50s in team ranking. Now I'll be in the 100 range.

I still think I'm doing quite well on a 2400+.

I'm just happy that QUIET (or MAINLY quiet) PCs are climbing the list and surpassing all of these overclocking gurus and Delta fan lovers.

Keep on Keepin' on!

Looks like the Audophiles are speaking their minds these days.

My opinion:

Creative
Terratec

I've used AND recorded music on both. And you CAN hear a quality difference between 96/24 and 44/16

I'm excited about 192/32...

Ah...The war goes on and on and on and on...

I love it!

Industry Standard for CDs is 24bit, 96KHz, then downsampled to 16bit, 44.1kHz. This is shifting to 192kHz, though.

You can hear the difference between 16/44.1 and 24/96. Of course I do record music, so I'm probably biased.

After the SoundBlaster Live! nightmares I wasn't interested in Creative anymore. Look elsewhere - specifically http://www.terratec.com/ I have the DMX 6/Fire card. At the time it came out it was top of the line (for $250). The Creative Audigy "24-bit" soundcard was a complete piece. Spend a little m...

Vantec = Shit (still shitty at 7v, but smoke 'em if you got 'em) Enermax = Please Mod Me (see one of the oldest articles on this site) Trust me man, I've been where you are. I stopped worrying about rear exhaust fans and even a rear 80mm PSU exhaust after a while, and my 2400+ gets to about 60 in th...

Advantages?

Folding/Video Encoding/Downloading while sleeping.

People coming into my room and wondering if my computer is on.

The ability to help people DIY their own computers with advice.

I'd personally try to put them on some foam or something in the bottom of the case (in their 3.5" cage if it comes off) and run a panaflo 80L at 7v across them. That's what I do with my pair of Seagate 7200.7s, and it keeps them nice and cool (and they don't vibrate against the case).

Looks like I'll be waiting for the Biostar iDeq 210P instead of the 200P...The 210P's design is pretty rad, and includes 80mm fans.

I could return dirt in a bag and call it a Power Supply to Newegg and they'd send me a new one. Newegg is so easy to work with it actually scared me a bit.

I read the threads. There is nothing offensive I could read there.

Damn. Good thing I wasted my time.

Or just go here...

Antec Sonata. Nuff said.

Looks like I'll be waiting for the Biostar nForce3 250 chipset to come out...

By then more information on more systems should be available.

FYI - LITE-Ons are NOT quiet. They are great drives, but their ball-bearing motors are loud as F%$#.

I think that waiting a month or two is a good idea as well.

Thanks for responding to my post guys...It's harder finding information on 64s than XPs, and anything you can dig up is usually helpful.

Is there anyone out there who has installed this CPU into a regular 754 motherboard with success?

I'm thinking of purchasing it, but I'm not positive if it will work or not.

Unfortunately the 200P only has the nForce3 150, not the 250...

It's socket 754. I was just wondering if the mobile Athlon64s could be treated much like the Mobile AthlonXPs.

The Biostar 200P supports Socket 754.

-Nate

I think that the easy install of the Biostar ideq 200p heatsink wouldn't be a problem...It wasn't on a standard socket A CPU.

I've been thinking about a 35w Mobile AMD64. Do these mobile CPUs still fit in normal Socket 754 boards?

Duct Tape!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I'm lazy - but it works.

Clean up hole edges? Duct Tape. Plus it's silver.

I'd try a different PCI slot first and then a different modem.

I've only noticed this situation when scrolling in Internet Explorer.

It's probably your power supply when you're scrolling around in Internet Explorer. I've had this happen a ton of times to me.

Try Mozilla or a new Power Supply? Anyone else want a slice of this one?

I was in London last may and must confess that it is MUCH louder than my nice 200k population suburb here. I also found it hilarious that some drunk hit a light pole at 2:30AM, got out of his car, got back in, TRIED TO START IT (it was demolished) got out, ripped the license plates off and walked aw...

You should search the threads - some people get whiny Samsungs, some Loud-seeking/whiny Seagates. I own both and both are the quietest 3.5" drives I've ever come across. I have two 120GB 7200.7s in one machine and only notice the fan noise. I have the Samsung 80GB in my music PC and only notice the ...
