    Is Canadian football that much different other than the larger scale? I know that in Germany the football was more like our soccer - skinny guys in shorts with little protection.

    Thanks. The lanes are interesting. Ideally I don't want to waste more than 8 lanes on the video card. So the four long slots could all be 8x or less then.

    Whatever it is, I'll be long gone. At most I plan to buy one more vehicle ever, and it will be a conventional one. I'm still waiting on that atomic car propelled by the pea-sized power pack that would last for thousands of miles. Yeah, right.

    I am confused about the PCIe lots and lanes on this board. I have one video card and the LSI 8x controller in another slot. Can I use both of the other long slots at 8X or maybe one at 8x and one at 4x?

    This is the best I can do that will run the Intel Burning Test Linupak without errors. From what I read that is a strenuous test. It draws far too much power overall and core temp is 82 °C in the benchmark. :o Idle is 43°C, both with no case. I'll try to keep it at 4.3G and lower the voltage...

    Hauling around all that extra weight and losing efficiency for the <<1% of people who drive 900 miles makes no practical sense. I'm sure an extended-range light truck or SUV would be an option for the long haulers, and maybe even different battery packs will be available for basic sedans. I'm...

    I need some help with the OC. There are several interrelated settings that control the CPU core frequency. I have read a bit about the i series CPUs on the interwebs, but it is rather confusing and some sites express different opinions. Which do you use primarily to OC, the multiplier or...

    The newfangled vehicles should behave similarly to current gasoline-powered vehicles, i.e., somewhere in the 250-400 mile range. 1000 miles is unnecessary for standard applications. The extra batteries would be more expensive and heavier, too.

    I was looking at that very same PS a few minutes ago. :) It should be fine for most systems unless you are going nuts with SLI, CPU and heavy OC, too. :cyclopsani: I was about to a start a whole new thread about power supplies since it has been a while. I'm not so sure about the newer PS...

    I'm done with the F4 drive for this year. Maybe there is something I am missing, but the advancing format does nothing. The packaging was quite odd, but the EGG is consistently inconsistent in that regard. :monkey:

    Maybe that could work in Tokyo or even NYC, but in many less densly populated areas I doubt it would be justifiable to have all those stations and extra batteries lying around in various states of charge.

    It is just the barest of systems with the 980EX on the UD5, the HD 4350, 2x2GB of RAM and an old 2.5" drive. I've just been trying the test the basics of the CPU in a few apps — have no idea what works or does not with the mainboard. The PS in the Soltana II was not up the challenge :( so I...

    Other than loading OS and some apps a little faster, I think the flash boost is overrated. I have the normal 500GB 720000 RPM drive and it is not appreciably faster than a good 5400 RPM drive at that capacity.
