Anyway, I am making my P4 into a "server" now. Just for downloading 24/7 and as network storage place.

I am thinking to downclock it back to 2.4, add in another 1TB hard disk next month and another 1TB the following month.

Anymore recommendations?

Black level II, old school Winbond BH-5 never boot at CL2.5 or CL3 = normal
keep feeding it voltz it will show u da "REAL characteristics"

@khai84siong: if you want to trade, i got 1GB kit TCCD which is very tame for intel systems.
PM for more info..

almost every presscott is HOT... 

unless it is northwood.. northwood got such high ghz?

LOL... wan toyota pm me for more detail...

boss,
3.4g northwood u got jalan ka? IMHO, very difficult to get the 3.4g northwood laaa....very rare...

The other dedicated lga775 thread is almost abandoned as I can see it, we can open this to accept some lga775 discussions here as we can see some 775ers are still using prescott and pentium 4 series. Up to you ray, but let that thread as it is, no need to sapu.

mine has only lime green, light blue, and pink as for the mic.

oh yeah 4.1 sorry, so i plugged my 2.1 into the lime green

monitor has audio in and out, no idea which one to plug it into to connect it to light blue.
-edited-

do you guys think that ATI 4650 is able to do decoding for 1080p mkv movies and loosen the weight for my processor?

cant change in bios, stupiak mobo. i tried all the combination of jumper, only tis works. written in manual is 800 mhz

HD4650 can do the decoding right? so i don't have to use an high end processor for it?
i'm very curious about this, i've searched uncle google, some says yes some says no.

yeah monitor has intergrated speakers, do i need a blue head jack to do so? because it came with green one. and on my soundcard the green jack i already have my 2.1 in it.

answer is YES and NO. if your file is encoded in H.264, then YES. if file is under normal xvid or other format, then NO.

not really bro, sometimes you'll need to configure your codec to run the files on DXVA (hardware acceleration) instead of software. try follow the guide here:

Guide to MKV x.264 GPU acceleration  - How would you like to learn to playback MKV / x.264 content 98% accelerated by your Radeon of GeForce graphics card ? And we'll even go a step further, optimize image quality with the help of your graphics card shader processors ?

UPDATE: Ray, i checked that DXVA only available for Radeon 3000 and nvidia 8000 series GPU.

For graphics processing we need:

    * nVidia series 8*, (9)xxx and GTX or newer.
    * ATI Radeon HD series 3000 and 4000 or newer.

* some older models 8800 cards have the older VP1 (video processing) engine, the updated NVIDIA VP2 asic can decode bitstreams which is what we are after. Examples of VP1 would be 8800 GTS 320 and 640 MB. You will still be able to decode content, yet partly. The 8800 GTS 512MB en newer cards have the new VP2 engine, which will be 100% supported.

LOL.. is 6800GT beat 7300GT

btw, that 6800 is 128MB DDR 128bit

like that eh??
i dont know much about nvidia but ati bigger number more power..
correct me if im wrong.

meaning 7 series for mid end??
how about 7800GS?this beat 6800GT?

Oh shit.
Another downfall.

Hopefully my HDD I'm about to purchase dont act up then.

for the p4, just run raid0 laa....get 2 1tb hdds, stripe them..., IF 1tb is enough for you...
