Built a nice system at work the other day;

Intel 980X

Intel 60gb SSD

8gb DDR3 2000MHZ Ram

Takes 50 seconds to post, and then 10 seconds to loads Windows 7.

50 seconds to post? turn all the shit off that u dont need to use ;P

unfortunately, no TRIM functionality whenn SSD's are in RAID 0...but even 1x SSD kicks the butt of a couple SATA's in RAID 0

pretty sure some SSD's have internal Raid 0 stripes with hardware TRIM - get two of those in series and u wont need to worry too much out wear levelling

in addition to that, slashdot did a series of benchmarks at some stage and they estimated that even the worst SSD for levelling won't have issues until its at least 5 year old (conservative) if not 10 (optimistic) - most peoples computers dont even last that long

if i can find it, ill post it up. also had some neat benchmarks comparing the IBM x25 series vs the OCZ and G.Skill brands - and there wasnt as big a difference as the price tag makes out...

^^^ I assume you mean 5 seconds to post Abe?!

Nope, 50 Seconds. GPU Post, Mobo Post, and that was with a Bios that had the unwanted features disabled, higher end motherboard, so heaps of features you can't disable too.

When you say higher end, are you talking Intel ?

That’s really cool! Love it! I haven’t seen anything like it before.

hi all.just wondering what you all use as a media player on ur PC?

i use VLC, love the layout and most things about it. the issue i have is it freezes over the lan, and also on my desktop... i have used the googleizer and tried the things suggested there, increasing the buffer helped a lot, but i still get the freezes :P

in the past i was a big fan of media player classic, but i find the playlist a bit clunky so i have been persisting with VLC.

does anyone out there use anything else that is worth a shot?

...::edit::...

my os is win 7 ultimate

hi all... looks like this was sorted by either the new release of VLC or fixed thanks to patch tuesday last week... has held up fine since both of those things that were done on the same day.

i would have liked to know what it was tho :ermm:

well now on the internode SOHO plans, when u get shaped ur d/l goes down to 512/kb/s and the upload is not shaped :P:):banana:

and of course like any self respecting ISP upload does not count.

thinking of hosting a couple games now n then, and also having an FTP server to share all my media to my mates.

you can host Rfactor and you dont even have to purchase the game :P only helps people with the game :banana: :banana:

i actually signed up for a Real Time Racer beta and there is a comp to skin a car and win a game seat :)

although i suck @ skinning im giving it a shot

You shouldn’t have any speed change (unless you are downgrading your plan’s speed of course). The upgrade usually happens at midnight as that is when account plan changes are processed. Have you power cycled your modem/ other network equipment to ensure any changes are recognised?

    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
    • That's some really horrible design with the way it's cut/shaped! Is there much damage to the box that failed in? IE, new fork and you can go again, or is it a total rebuild again? Id be trying to build that piece from scratch, and getting some reliefs added in the corner to hopefully stop breakage, and then swapping boxes ASAP, and then doing the same to the currently good working box. I'm assuming hard shifts have not been friendly to it!
