I was just crusing around and found this song. I absolutley love this song. I play the piano myself and use the grand. I am a novice when it comes to mastering though. The piano sound you get in this is awesome. At the beginning the piano is kind of centered and then when the melody comes in it kind ...

You need to open the registry. How you do it is up to you. I would insert the drive into another computer if there is no physical damage other than bad sectors and get to it that way.

go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-->Software-->Microsoft-->
Windows--> Current Version. You can now see the product key ...

Ok I finally got all the parts for my PC with the gigabyte GA-7VAXP board. Installation was pretty easy. You can choose different IRQ's for the different PCI slots in the BIOS but I didn't play around with this much. PCI 2 is the best out of the box since it only shares with 1 of the USB controllers ...

Ya Thalamus, I wish I was wrong also. :smile: I just had a look at the asus newsgroup alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus and it is plastered with posts about RAID only being possible with the 2 serial and 1 parallel connector as I suspected. I wouldn't be surprised if they get sued over the language on ...

How many tracks do you plan to do at once? Not 40-60 definitely but the main reason I would use RAID is for fault tolerance not for speed. It does tax your PCI bus but it is configurable. The promise utility has a PCI bus utilization slider that I have found helpful. The moment you have a hard drive ...

I was looking at the manual for the asus board and found something interesting. It says that the serial ATA controller provides the raid functionality. Then it says, "For RAID 0, you may choose two connectors of Parallel and Serial ATA connectors. For RAID1, you may choose any two or three ...

Great, thanks for the report Thalamus. :smile:

I just got a Gigabyte GA-7VAXP board (KT400) that I will be running some tests on also. Unfortunately some parts for my new PC are still in the mail so I have to wait for them.

This is a message I got from Nvidia concerning their PCI bus performance on the new nForce2 chipset.

The problems we had with the PCI was fixed a while back through a BIOS update. The nForce or Nforce 2 shouldn't experience the problems you noted with Via chipsets. The problem has also been fixed ...
