Thanks for the replies. I currently use dmraid, since it allows me to use software raid under both Linux and Windows. Looks like a hardware raid card that will make the raid transparent to Windows and Linux is out of my budget. Guess I'll be sticking with dmraid for now then ;)

Hi all, I am fed up with using my motherboard's software raid. It causes hassle each time I rebuild my PC (most Linux distros do not support it out of the box). Hence I would like a recommendation for a hardware raid controller. Ideally to support 4 SATA-II disks and under £50. I do not...

Apologies for a double post, but does anyone know if I could do this (freeview and cable) using MediaPortal instead? I have a spare XP licence kicking around so it would be a cheaper (and possibly better) option.

Sorry, I meant to say that I don't know of any DVB-C TUNER CARDS that work directly with UK cable providers. I.e you have to go through the STB so that they can use their encrytion etc.

Thanks for the reply I thought a RAM upgrade might be needed. Another 512Mb isn't going to break the bank I guess. I plan to use an existing capture card for the Telewest box, I don't know of any DVB-C that work with UK cable TV. It was the combination of cable/freeview that I wanted to check...

Hopefully this is a simple to answer question. I built a small pc last summer with the intention of using as a home-theatre pc, particularly for acting as a freeview PVR. However, since then I have got Telewest (now Virgin) TV, and need to integrate this in. My original install was using...

Try the members market - you could pick up an x800-based card for cheap solution. Or if you went towards the top end of your budget you might be able to find a 1950XT (you can get them new for sub-£150, I think). Not sure how much these draw on the 12V rail though.

Hi, I am using the latest Omega drivers with my X800XL as of last week, since I was having problems with the catalyst drivers. They work a treat, apart from one thing. When I am in any 3D game (both Direct3D and OpenGl are effected) and I alt-tab out of the game to do something, when I try...

Thanks for the replies. Sadly work is calling atm :(. Think I will try it out later this evening, with the GPU watercooled and the memory without cooling. I'll run at stock until my memory coolers arrive - just to be safe :D EDIT: All working! The memory gets pretty hot when running...

Just got an X800XL AGP (from the MM in fact), to replace my tired 9800Pro. My 9800Pro was watercooled by a Maze4 GPU block, which I intend to use for the X800XL. Problem is, the memory heatsinks I ordered haven't arrived yet :(. My question is does anyone know / has tried running this card...

I am building a HTPC based on a Turion ML-28 processor. I am using an ASROCK K8NF4G-SATA2 motherboard, since I have read on a forum that other people have succesfully run Turion processors on this board. My problem is when I come to power the thing on: with both 4-pin 12V and 20-pin ATX...

I too would like to offer my condolances.
