jim, u using the ez backup for a raid 0?

i found from testing the intel controller to be better, an use the ez for seperate drives. with a stripe of 32k
 
still have lots of stuff to sort out on my system, (did'nt do a full re-install, and is causing a few problems),

I thought I'd try Super PI quickly @ 1M just to see what I would get, 17s, is that good ? I don't really follow all this super PI stuff :o

17s is very good for a completely unoptimised system.

I'd definitely recommend reinstalling though - you don't wanna be wondering whether you are getting the best out of the chip or not.
 
Yonah with 2Gb and @ 3ghz does super pi of 19 seconds!!!

You should instale again. That microsfot thing is saying you've done too many re-instals as i have nevewr had it come up only when putting it on 50 odd time and 3+ machines

Have you got an old hd that you could do a fresh windows install on? You could just use it to run a few benches, and it would tell you whether your main drive is running at optimal speeds or not (so you can avoid a full install).

I emailed Asus (Riz) and he/she read my email, but not heard anything back yet. Hopefully I'll be able to get a new BIOS chip because I'm up the proverbial brown creek without a paddle otherwise! (no 775 chip to flash it with).

I'm not jealous, honest...

Did you have to pay anything? Because when I spoke to Riz he/she said I would have to pay £3 for a reflash (me sending chip to them) and £5 for a new chip. :(

Not a huge amount of money but its the principal of it - don't really see why I should have to pay extra money to correct a motherboard that doesn't meet its advertised specification.

At first i thought I had to pay for mine but I got another e-mail asking for my address so they could send the new chip out, no mention of payment

This is a little worrying, I don't normally install intel desktop utilities but I did this time round, and when I rebooted I got this :confused: :(

Could someone who is also running on a badaxe run Intel Desktop Utilities please for a comparison

Ignore it, it thinks the stock voltage is 2.05v
 
Lol, thats a real shame, same here City Link for me are excellent, I guess it just depends on the driver also, its the same driver every time who delivers the parcels to me, therefore you can have a go at your driver tomorrow when its delivered :p

This is one of the reasons why city link should be nuked off the map.

I had exactly the same a couple of weeks ago.
I rang the number on their website at around 4PM to check, and was told it was out and should be delivered (told they go late on a Friday)
When I looked at the website around 4.45 I got the 'couldn't be delivered'. (yes I was at home)

I was NOT happy, so I gave them a bell.
Got given the number of my local branch to ring, and the driver had gone home, but he had written down I have a glass door (have a few glass panes)

Anyway, the guy apologised and said they may be able to get it to me that evening if not Monday.
Door bell rang around 8PM, and I got it delivered :)
