If I line up the two website pages cited I see no difference at all except for some additional overclocking stuff on the P35. Maybe just a mid run manufacturing difference that warranted a name change instead of a revision?

Add it on the next page. Hopefully they realized their mistake there? Sounds like a quick WTF: http://thedailywtf.com/

Cleartype is a MSFT thing, should be in the control panel.

I got the drive mounted, had to use bootitng to wipe the MBR signature. It is up and copying now and I will see about the mount/dismount when that is done. Using the regular Intel chipset inf at the moment, don't think the intel storage manager should be needed as that is sort of the whole point...

Hmm, seems my problem is a little more troublesome. The two disks which used to be my RAID1 array are fighting; I had a signature collision that is preventing windows from looking at the drive. After reboot I can see the drive in disk management but it just won't mount. So I figure no problem I...

Hmm, ok I am in win7 now and using AHCI, RAID is off. I have this utility which does seem to stop drives for removal fine. Thing is I can't add new drives without restarting the computer. The scan in this and in device manager doesn't find any new drives. Chipset driver seems to be installed...

Windows XP right? How about a repair install?

Some other thread here a while back suggested this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124143&Tpk=USBBT100 really long range, can use it halfway across the house. and this for the HTPC http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16879212011 I still use wired for...

OK, this is one I look at once in a while: http://twitter.com/shitmydadsays

Why does your boot need to be so big? Is teaming a SSD and say a Raptor 300 for whatever doesn't fit just not good enough? Speed wise for desktop I don't think you will notice the difference between a raptor and whatever high end SAS you get. You will notice the much longer boot from the SAS...

Hmm, looks like I don't actually have that limitation but my x8 slot is really an x4 so that explains it. http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Core2Duo/G33/C2SBA+II.cfm I remember this was really hit or miss depending on motherboard implementation but with newer chipsets I think...

Ah yes, note 2 is a killer: I wouldn't think that taping would help, likely something in there decides if that port is in use and if so switches the lanes to that port, else the x1 lanes are enabled.

I think I have the same problem on my G33 based board, but I like my built in Intel LAN. I only have a G260 and a PCIe X-Fi Titanium at the moment. I was toying with the idea of a PERC6/i and a couple X25M's when you all were discussing them a while back but I remembered this problem.

I think your video card is running X16 and can't shift those lanes down to something else because it is on another chip. Supposedly there are 16 lanes total but some are in use that you can't change and the flexibility isn't there to shift things around like you want. Similar experiences to...

It matters but I would bet you have the old firmware: http://www.intel.com/support/ssdc/hpssd/sb/CS-031021.htm

Did you get the old or new firmware on your G2? I'm still afraid to upgrade mine.

Is that your primary drive? If you have to select it in the BIOS I am guessing no and you need to do a cable shuffle?

Don't all the games now need some sort of internet check? You have either the install check or the check on each load or save. GTA4 to even save games you had to be logged in to something, you could play but never save without the internet. FWIW I like steam remembering what I have and all I...

Thanks for volunteering, things should be well in hand now.

Wow, very cool utility. I had no idea this little forum here collected so many spam attempts.

If you liked the RS you would love the Legacy GT, same drive train as the WRX in the Legacy sedan. I very much almost went with this but I decided I wanted the room of the hatch back. Rather hard to find used or even new though. I think the H6 engine offers less power and efficiency than the H4...

Think they are just trying to get a foot in another door, likely they are going to be worse performers for desktop and tuned for server use right?

I really like having the switch there. You can turn off power but keep the chassis grounded. I really don't think we need to change things based on kids and animal interference.

OK I give, it would be nice to just have a couple mods with spam deletion duties only.

Does a captcha plugin cost money to add on to the forum?

Any PA followers here? Making this post from YYC which annoyingly now REQUIRES registration to use their "Free WIFI!" as long as they can now spam you to death. Thank god for a hotmail account I never use.

I didn't see anything negative from deleting those desktop.ini files, but I am one of those people that generally doesn't go for the customized stuff. I think all they do is hold info like view options or custom icons etc so nothing actually useful...

Anyone know a cop? They idle for 8 hours at a time for construction zones and will know really well what those cars do in the gallons per hour of just sitting. With all the lights, radios and computers in those cars they just can't shut them off.

Side note: I noticed the Cisco VPN client on my new image that IT gave me is much more stable, not one problem. Version 5.05.0290, thank you someone for updating the D630 computer image. Not a chance in fricking hell that we can go past XP for a very long time though, ah well at least they pay...

I would say that is a perfect candidate for the upgrade, you have your backup you can restore if anything isn't to your liking so why not give it a shot? Not really much to loose except an hour or three if you don't like what the upgrade did for you. Only thing is what is that upgrade disk...

Old advice for carburetor vehicles was if you are stopped longer than 5 minutes shut off the engine, but under 5 minutes if you shut it off you actually waste gas because of that choke. Pretty sure that doesn't apply to injected cars now. Hybrids would do really well in that situation, they...

WOW, isn't this the second time in a row for Intel hosing SSD's? I would NOT update right now if I were you. http://www.dailytech.com/Intel+X25M+G2+SSD+TRIM+Firmware+Pulled+Due+to+Data+Corruption+Problems+in+Windows+7/article16638.htm...

Very cool, thanks.

Yep, that's what the toolbox with scheduling is for.

I guess I didn't read far enough before posting, it is out now. As I read it if you have win7 in AHCI mode using MSFT's driver it will pass through the TRIM just fine. For all other OS's and for that first cleanup in win7 after you update the drive that toolbox is available and functions like...

Looks like Intel is right on the verge of releasing the X25 firmware update with TRIM on it. http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1463442

Hmm win7 full language support looks like a premium feature, enterprise and ultimate only. I am not exactly sure on the partial support LIP thing, says free but only does the common items. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/How-do-I-get-additional-display-languages

Me too but I am in Calgary on business, generally english isn't a problem here but I would not mind picking up some french at all.

On the Cisco VPN thing I am stuck with version 5.0.01.xxxx. and it sucks, sometimes even manages to crash XP on my work laptop when connecting, which wipes out the connection details and I have to call for them to make with the fixing. Works perfect in VM though. Is that software licenced per...

Well I have the same concerns as you with VPN and legacy apps for work still wanting XP so I have been using XP in VMware to get around the situation for about four months now. Is it an option to virtualize your XP partition? Edit: Yes Cisco VPN client, me too.

Wiki suggests GMA3100 is actually DX10 now with a driver update and supports aero. I don't have my G33 video enabled.

Have heard of it, also thought it was odd. Not sure if that effects the throttling protection portion or not. If it did I would certainly consider RMA.

I'm in for one. Author might come in handy with a new camera.

Great, did you do an actual upgrade or did you advanced options clean install it that second time?

Preliminary reports say that you can both do the vista double install trick and upgrade from the eval copy of win7. I don't put a lot of weight behind the forum users there but I thought the upgrade from the RC would specifically be blocked. http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1462259

Everyone seems to be saying no previous CD/DVD media needed, as in there is no disk check at all.

Frigged if I know, I'm just trolling fora today to see whats up with the upgrade procedure myself. You know people will be trying to upgrade from the win7 eval, trying the double install vista trick and attempting upgrades from unactivated copies of XP/Vista. Supposedly win2000 was an approved...

Yeah, RDP host and XP mode would be the big ones I will miss with premium. I am coming along quite nicely with VMware though and I just guess I will have to get back into VNC. Should be a hack coming along to enable RDP like there was in Vista. Oh and all versions of XP qualify...

What happened Merc?

Well today's the day. Appears that Newegg shipped preorders a day early and I will have mine tomorrow. Unlikely that I will do anything with it for a couple weeks as I am out of the country but I will be searching for answers to my upgrade questions in the meantime.
