Core Temp bombs out under Vista 64-bit (says “The driver has failed to load! Some information will not be available” in a dialog box, then pops up a new copy of that dialog box at one second intervals until I nuke the process). Do you know of a good temp monitoring program to use under Vista 64-bit?
How come I am unable to run more than one instance of Prime95?
What do you do if the motherboard doesn’t recognize the drives?? I have a cd drive and a hard drive that are not recognized and I don’t know what to do. They are both SATA. Lost
I’m still trying to figure out how you managed to hide all the power cables behind the mobo. I’ve got almost the exact same configuration but all those ugly thick cables are all jamming up the front of the case, quasi-held-in-place by those sliding plastic things.
I wouldn’t build myself a new workstation today without RAID 1 set of disks. My configuration would probably be a Raptor + RAID 1 disks.
(RAID 1 = Mirrored disks)
I’m quite sure Joel Spolsky wrote about this (RAID1) some years ago.
But now I can’t seem to find the link. If I recall correctly, mirrored disks is company policy at Fog Creek.
