Your going to need to get a clean OS install. did your sony come with a orignal XP disk or a sony all in one reload disk thing were everything is on 1 DVD or a few CD's

If you dont need the added storage of one big ass drive or the speed benefits in a few programs don't use raid. and remember if you go raid 0 you double your chances of loosing data because if one drive goes you lost it all there is no back up.

i do 3d max and CAD so i have to print everything out to show other people and the customers and i just usially throw it some were after i print it

you should see my desk at work now thats a mess :haha: yea them damn bills

its not that bad, mine is worse. what kind of monitor you got?

he doesnt have to right away, maybe he will get another one later on. Ive got a SLI board but i don't have 2 video cards but i might some day.

its not by how much ram you have, i have 4GB of ram and i get a 5.2 for ram lower then his 2gb of ram.

There is no SLI with that board. so the 680i is not pointless.

That download test is not from bellsouth, if you click the little validation link it tells all.

$145 damn thats alot. Nice speeds x_6985381

:haha: :haha:

I don't think UPS is going to accept that with scotch tape holding it together. :haha:

It timed out for me, if you have the windows firewall on, turn it off.

Ive been using it to test, i like it alot, there are some really bad spots in south Florida for EVDO, in Broward i was getting about 40kbps download.

I don't think the FCC would allow that, they usually only allow phone companies to buy other phone companies. But in the end it will just be comcast and time warner, verizon and AT&T Id put my money on AT&T in the end with there U-verse

:2funny: that can't be good. :haha: don't you have a antistatic bag laying around from say a video card? or something else.

I think i pointed it out to you once before

that should work good, just as long as you dont install the motherboard on the carpet

my combo was 235 with 2GB of ram. Its up to you tho.

Its good, i would rather have a ASUS motherboard though, but MSI is sill pretty good.

I know its depressing, now you gotta wait another week and a half before you got your computer. Ive used g. skill in my laptop its good stuff but it can go bad
