October 3, 201016 yr I'm using the wrong mobo here. The Gigabyte H55N-USB3 is a great little mobo but I'm one pci slot short! Storage is 4 acards (2 arrays) but all on the onboard controller as I'm using the one (and only) pci slot for the 5870. Edited October 3, 201016 yr by SteveRo
October 3, 201016 yr one acard as boot drive. three acards in windows stripped softraid as the pcm05 target drive. pcm05 does not award fast storage as much as pcmv. pcm05 awards fast vga more than pcmv
October 3, 201016 yr Author Awesome pictures. Hope you can test with a full size P55 or H55 sometime!
October 3, 201016 yr Planning on trying my hand at lga 775 next - thinking about Gigabyte GA-EP45T-USB3P as the platform - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128433 Any thoughts?
October 3, 201016 yr It's amazing how you can keep that bench area so clean. Everything I break out my acard for a round of PCMark, my desk turns into this oasis of hardware, cables and, for some reason, cookies.
October 4, 201016 yr Author Not sure about that board TBH it should be good for Core 2 Quad chips. I got a EP45T-UD3LR and so far I am not sure its the best for high FSB and has a lot of trouble with ram getting the frequency high and raising ram voltages.... So I"m getting a rev 1.0 EP45-UD3P board since I've tested it before and its super solid and amazing for Core 2 Quad CPUs. The REX X48 board is the best LGA775 FSB board hands down. And for the older S775s like P4 and Celly the Commando board(with mods) and some others are the best choice. PM me if you have more questions Steve.
