You're gonna make me cry man...

SO....SAD.....I miss the boys so much and had some of the best times of my entire life at the Shows

[CyberDruid]

Honestly I feel that Jerry is an Avatar...

Ripple in still water....

[Brother Esau]

You know what was odd was when I was Living in VA in 2004 I went back home to N.J to catch the Dead 2 day run at the Arts Center and all of the kids were on their Cell phones frigging weird!! I guess we must be Relix these days Man talk about wanting to cry! First time I had seen them since Madison Square Garden 10/18/94 on the 5 day run in N.Y.C before Jerry died that summer

[CyberDruid]

I was lucky in some wierd way and always got great tickets without trying. I mean GREAT seats. And I remember seeing the same people over and over show after show...maybe it was more than coincidence...

[Brother Esau]

Well if you go to the Big Island of Hawaii where I was living the Family is all on the Hilo side and I mean allot of the Family is there people I knew on tour from many years ago that I had not seen since before Jerry died.

[CyberDruid]

That sounds pretty nice...

I go to alot of Roots festivals now and actually though it will never be the same the people I know through those events are like family too...Donna the Buffalo

@Brother Esau: how are those OCZ working? i'm thinking of getting new RAMS to replace my Team Xtreem 2x1Gb DDR2 9600...i'm thinking of either the Crucial Ballistix 8500 or OCZ Reaper 9200...which one should i go for? Thanks in advance.

You should get the OCZ FLEX XTC (PC2 9200) 1150MHZ 5-5-5-18 like the ones I ordered as they are proven by Tony, RGone, Praz,Raja and others to work very well with this particular motherboard.
Believe me the last thing I wanted to do was have to spend money on RAM after I just dumped $339.00 on my Cell Shock but I put entirely too much time into that and got absolutely no where! So I elected to get the Flex for that reason "Proven" Overclocking friendly ......I had some Ballistix Tracer that eva2000 has tested extensively with great result but this board was not having any of it!

Stick with the OCZ

so it's the Flex over the Reapers? but i'm not into watercool...

I'm just telling you which over the two I know for a fact work very well without issue at high overclock. But if you prefer the Black Heat Spreader over the Siver one what EVER

[MacKaquE]

Well, let me say that Vista is installed now, no more problem I installed vista in 15 mins exactly .. PC is responding real fast.

I really think the problem was the voltage on the NB at stock settings wasn't ok, weird tho.

Anyway, I'm now at 3.2GHZ

9*356

my temp are idle

35
29
29
35

chipset : 45
PWM : 41


On load :

47
42
42
48

chipset : 49
PWM : 47

Seems good temp for me

I'm gonna go sleep soon and I'll run orthos all nite, tommorow if everything is oke I'll go for 3.4GHZ

Btw, I have the Ultra-120 Extreme ... I read that a lot of ppl had problem with mounting .. not enough pressure on, I don't know if mine is oke but I can move the heatsink if I push it on the left or the right .. or if I try to make him a 360 .. but since my temp are ok .. I guess it's fine anyway

will see tommorow my goal is to hit 3.6GHZ and I'll be happy

thx for the answer guys

Oh so basically they perform the same? just that the Flex are water-cool capable? that would be a good thing if i decide to water cool.

wow THANKS!

NO!!!! What I am telling you is if you want something that works well that is documented to do so and on Par with you Team Xtreem I would get the OCZ FLEX and not run the risk of being disappointed like we both have been already with our very High $ Ram

@ MacKaquE......hey man why don't you make a signature so we know what you are working with in the event you ask for our help?

Thank you

[Brother Esau]

Cell Shock PCB is not fully liked by this chipset and I just dumped $339.00 on my kit just to find that out the hard way! Get the Ram in my sig!

[Cascades]

Well... I got the system up and running a little while ago and I am impressed with it. In about 30 minutes I have it running at 4GHz by just adjusting the voltages so far. I need links to the latest programs to run the standard stress tests.... etc. Orthos? Super Pi?

This weekend is going to be fun!

So far, so good.

[Brother Esau]

All OCZ Flex memory will be ok or only the ones you have?

For the most part I think all OCZ ram should be fine but how well it overclocks on this board may be another story. OCZ and DFI work very closely together and I am pretty much thinking that this board is for the most part geared towards OCZ ram...just a hunch any ways.

But to answer you're question about this Ram in my sig directly I'm gonna say this ....Raja has told me [QUOTE] This Ram Performs Brilliantly in this Motherboard [END QUOTE]

[emoners]

hmmm seems like the rams that work "pretty weel" with this board are the OCZ & Ballistix.... gotta get me eider of those.... yum yum yum yum

[Jodiuh]

I'[m drank many t o beers...but it' snice you wnoko wy!> !! oran goxb?

EDIT: Whoa...beware the dangers of drunk posting my friends.

[Omastar]

You mean the Dead didn't do 'Weather Report Suite' at that '89 show?

For the record, my OCZ Sli-edition PC8500 sticks work great in this mobo.

Had them up to 1300 at 5-5-5-15 at 2.35V. Currently stable at 1150 5-4-4-12 at 2.2v.

[pumbertot]

im finding windows xp x64 is taking longer than i expected to boot into. thats with 2x150gb raptors in RAID0. a bit disappointing with a QX6850 and 4GB RAM when my mrs rig with P965 gigabyte,E4300,2GB RAM and single SATA drive boots faster. wtf??????

is it some known issue with this board haing slow RAID0???

I second that the 8500 SLI's go great 1100-1200mhz Orthos stable on warranted voltage is no problem.

The 8500 SLI's are not the pinnacle of what OCZ have to offer but they do a decent job & are very fairly priced

I just timed it for you from hitting the power button to the windows screen my rig boots in just under 35 seconds.

I am using XP Pro SP2 32Bit.
