Well, considering you can run an HD4850 with ease off a 380W EarthWatts, the 850 Zalman does really seem overkill.... Apart from that it's a good value build.

Assuming you do, the Zalman is a good choice.

I don't know if this is something that is needed by any of U or not. But let me tell U this is by far the best Anti-Virus Protection I've ever used (Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware). I read up on it here http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php. It was the only program that removed the blah blah 2009 Anti Spyware, that popped up on my computer. 6 or 7 windows kept popping up on me every couple of mins, plus it would connect to the internet for free scan. I use NOD32 which would show a pop-up of blah,blah has been blocked etc., but since installing Malwarebytes & Enabling Protection NOD32 has not shown one popup of anything being blocked. Also not one piece of anything has gotten past it on to my Comp. Prior to this any Spyware removal Tool that I used would show all types of infections almost on a daily basis
This little program is less then 4mb, its been 4 me totally amazing

ddp,
where is that forum exactly? could you give me the link? (ya I'm lazy) I'm looking for some good, free anti-virus software to put on an older Dell desktop pc with windows 2000.
it only has one 128mb stick and one 256mb stick of PC133 dram, which is just barely enough memory for most anti-virus software and not enough for others. thanks.

I can vouch for AVG 8, i now use it across all my machines. Am very pleased with it, glad i got rid of McAfee now.
Admittedly most of mine are Dual Core and above, but the odd P3 machine here and there can handle AVG 8 fine..

Hey there ddp.
Haven't been messing with my pc's much lately but have been extending my network, now have 3 routers running dd-wrt with WPA over WDS (don't you just hate acronyms) LOL .
dd-wrt is sexy, in a nerdy kind of way :P
i added the dd-wrt talk just to stay on topic :)

I've got an old 3.5 taken out of an old Win98 machine, I but it in this new Computer because I ran into a problem with a Bios flash that only install from a Floppy. Anyway all it want to do is format in Fat32,after its formatted the drive tells me Disc is not formatted
Won't let me write to it is their different types of 3.5 drives or is this just maybe a faulty drive

rick5446,
That's a 720MB disk with only 1 hole. 1.44s have 2 square holes!

Ah but have you ever seen a 720k disk with two holes ?.
I have, back in the day when we collected Super Nintendo games (before the days of cd's) we often drilled holes in the top corner of 720k disks, the other corner to where the write protect hole was, ie to make the disk look like a 1.4MB disk. What i can't remember is whether those disks were formatted to 1.6MB, or whther we just formatted 1.4MB to 1.6MB. This was to fit the bigger games on the disks :)

We used to do the same thing with the 5.25s with a hole punch. The big problem with converting the 720s to 1.44s was consistency as the media used wasn't the right formulation for double density. I also remember a little program that you could choose about 10-12 different formats all the way to 2.88MB for the 1.44s and read them on a 1.44! LOL!! Memories! ROFLMAO!
