I can't seem to figure this one out, but no matter what I try, Windows Vista is finding my NEC-DVD/CD drive as a floppy drive. When I uninstall it and ask it to find new hardware, it finds it as a floppy again. Its connected via IDE, and its the only IDE connection I have. Anyone have any...

I have been using my computer for the last 6 months, and my drive is mostly full, so I've wanted to expand my drive space aswell as gain a boost to performance. I just ordered my second SATA II 250gb drive (identical to my current drive) to set up a raid 0 array. How would I go about setting up...

I believe the cost more because they do in-card rendering. General Video cards don't do that. Rendering a scene in 3ds Max, for instance, is done by the processor only, unless you have a quadro or FireGL card.

Im currently at 15sec SuperPi 1M on my e6600 @3.4ghz. How do I get it to show 15.xxx?

What will deleting the Unallocated partition accomplish? Will it add what is in that partition to my current 127.99 partition to give me my full 250gbs? I don't get what your saying. If I delete them, and reinstall windows, I'll end up with a pre-Service Pack 1 windows, which will then again...

The problem was my old copy (wihout service packs) of windows. Well, I can now see the missing space, but its in a partition called Unallocated. Anyway to merge these two partitions? If I were to format and reinstall windows, I'd end up back at square one.

My computer is only showing it has 127.99gb, when its supposed to have 250gb. Anyone seen this problem before?

Well, I went ahead and ordered this, but upgraded to the e6600 for about $100. The boost to performance was just to much to give up.

I will be purchasing my parts in the next week. I will want to overclock this computer to a safe, but descent overclock. My components will consist of: e6300 C2Duo eVGA 7900 GTO 2gb Enhanced Latency Platinum XTC Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro HSF Gigabyte DS3 Mobo other (probably not as...

I read some posts that said there was some fault with this board, but I wasn't really sure it was real. I haven't read anything negative about the board I chose, so I went with it. How important is a CPU cooler for overclocking? When overclocked, do these processors get extremely hot?

This is my third of fourth build that I've proposed, but I'm really trying to stay on budget and get the best components for my build. I will be purchasing in about two weeks, but I am taking the time to make changes and do some reading before building. Before asking questions, I will post my...

I do intend to upgrade my gpu to dx10 when it becomes available. Reconsidering my build, I think I will go with the e6600 and the mobo mentioned above, if it will handle overclocking well. That way my cpu/mobo/ram will be of great quality, and my gpu can hold me over until next summer, when...

Antec PSU 480w 2.0 The case comes with 1 120mm and 1 80mm.

I was more concerned with the overcloackablity features of the motherboard. I already know the Core 2 Duo overclocks well. Will my Ram be up to par for good overclocking?

How overclockable is the DS3 mobo and the e6300. I was originally wanting to get a e6600, but they are grossly overpriced right now, and would blow my budget.
