Tried it and it had no effect. You have to have the AMD CNQ driver installed to be able to use that switch with any effect.

Upgrade to the Raptors. For maximum performance, you can't beat 2x150GB Raptors in RAID0. Additional drives don't really add much performance. If you have a lot of money to burn, you can always get solid-state storage .

I remember something that I terribly disliked about the Hiper Type-R series, just can't remember though. I recommend Seasonic power supplies, the very best in my opinion. Also you might want to get a PSU with Active PFC and modular cabling.

Actually there's two problems. I'm using Windows 2000 at the moment, and I have a driver that freezes the system unless I disable a core or if I install the MS dual-core hotfix, which isn't available for Windows 2000. How do I fix it without disabling a core? I also can't get the Cool'n'Quiet driver from AMD to work. I checked the service status, and there was some sort of error. Any help with that?

Applications that don't work well with dual-core don't immediately crash the system. I have a wireless driver that doesn't like my Opty 165, and once the driver starts up, it generates a weird sine wave-like pattern (but a bit flatter) in the Task Manager CPU Usage History graph that continues for a while until the system crashes like 5-40 minutes later. In Windows XP, I had this problem too, but one of the fixes (either the XP DC fix or the AMD driver) resolved the problem. Then I switched back to Windows 2000, and the problem started again. Since I couldn't install either fix this time around, I had no choice but to disable one of the cores, which you can do by changing the ACPI Multiprocessor driver to ACPI Uniprocessor in the Hardware control applet.

What's your drive? Unless you have more than one drive, there's not much you can do. If you have two or more, you could put them in RAID0.

Creative will be releasing new drivers soon, so that might not be necessary.

Anyone know where I can download it !?! The latest version is Beta 2 5384.4 I believe. Front page still states it as Beta 1.

I think people having tried alternatives yet...One guy I knew thought PerfectDisk was the best, but switched to Diskeeper when I told him about the benefits.

Depends on the router.

Somebody at MS has too much time on their hands . And for those soccer (football) players out there, who do you think will win the world cup this year?

Thread hijacker!!! Lol anyway try installing only the ones required for a working system. I've found I don't have to install any drivers other than for ethernet and sound.

No errors? Don't really get what happens after you reboot. By halt, do you mean like a freeze or a blue screen? Please be more specific.

I'd have to disagree...the Thermalright Ultra-90 *owns* the Ninja : http://www.thermalright.com/a_page/main_product_ultra90.htm

Mine is at full, so it's not a common problem.

Err...that guy contradicted himself. He says he's honest, but yet he scammed someone.

Is a CPU cooler software that automatically scales back CPU power based on workload? Because if it's not, then your Athlon64 can seriously reduce its wattage by using AMD Cool'n'Quiet technology. I think it's possible for it to use as little as 30W system idle if you enable it. Only supported under XP though.

Or you can use MAC filtering.

Sounds like he's trying to say Bashrat is lazy.

Unless I'm mistaken, aren't those chips integrated into most motherboards?

Convert it to MPEG and then burn it?

I just stick with the onboard controller. And even then, I never go toward RAID5 or any other redundant setup. Drives rarely fail anyway; I've had 6 computers since 1997 and not one of them has failed yet.

Well Vista's like coming out in January 2007 so you have plenty of time to wait it out .

I think Microsoft allows you to trade it in if you can prove that you bought it with the best intentions in mind.
