lol I know but I don't have the software! I tried windows media encoder to convert all my stuff to WMV(I need it for my Zune) but it gives me an error. I've tried that on three different computers so I don't know what's wrong.
Do you guys know any good software? I don't care about time, I'll leave it on overnight lol!

lol tomorrow i have a mate coming over from wales expecting to smoke sticky smelly green stuff like tobacco and drink like were fish, and he is going to stay for a month working lol, who said the 60's was over =o)
sam get some peps and proplus take a couple of each, there is a reason theyre not sold in the same shops ;o)
EDIT proplus / peps are handy whilst overclocking and monitoring temps thus keeping it on topic. I do not suggest this to anyone who is caffiene sensitive, just people who game until their eyes are bulging like golem 8o)

To be honest, I think I'll stick to my caffeinated drinks and fruity marshmallows thanks. I've no doubt proplus is effective, but I just don't need to stay up late that much! :)
I need to be up by 9 at the latest for a courier delivery tomorrow, but not tired yet... A can of Jolt silver may be responsible for that!

Ah i love my relentless, and drink way too much coffee, (3 spoons of kenco rapor per cup) lol and way too many cups.
doesnt help being a single parent and having to get up at 7am to get your kid to school grrrr lol
ended up having a bombay badboy potnoodle at 5am this morning lol oh the joys of computer games and caffiene lol.
still better than watching the drivel on tv, and it keeps your brain active - who needs that nintendo brain training lol.
sam any idea what MCP is on everest? it has a chip beside it as an icon, but this mobo is new to me and many google searches have attained nothing. I doubt I will actualy want to learn this mobo for overclocking. thus the 5000 x2 be - too blinking lazy to get involved with a serious oc on a temporary system.

No idea mate.
Agreed on the TV though, especially when you haven't even got freeview in your student house. Sky at home is nice (if a ripoff) but ultimately we watch so little tv, it's stupid paying more than our electricity and gas combined (for four gamers) just for decent TV...

sam,
I'm just jacking with you, WELL unless you send it to me under the premise that you'll get your money later. NOT!!!!! j/k mate.... If I want one I'll order it here in the states and NOT have to pay shipping from the UK and whatever TAX they try to stick me with. :P
btw the HD3870's range from $225-$300 USD....link
abuzar I'll prolly go with an ATi card on the next GPU I purchase. I'm having issues STILL with these frikkin nVidia cards. I'm not so sure something didn't have their way with them. :-(.

I would go the ATI route too. I just posted that... well I don't know why. I somehow got the idea into my head that you wanted a 8800GT not a 3870! I actually prefer the 3870 myself... lol I must be tired.

Likewise, but only in the niche mid-high end range market. The 8800GTS, GTX and Ultra are unquestionably the frame rate kings (even if they do suffer in the image quality dept), and the HD3650 looks pretty dire.

Heh, the man does get excited about his chipset heatsinks...
two lols and a roflmao!
lol jk Russ, it's nice to have some enthusiasm in the thread. Hopefully I'll also be providing some tomorrow, if citylink get their act together, there's a probably a 50/50 chance of that happening...

What's not to get excited about! LOL!! They are beautifully crafted, solid pure copper forgings, finished to a mirror shine on a mating surface that's between .00003 and .00004" flat! That's Quality! The finish on the Evercool I had, looked like it was finished with a belt sander! LOL!! It had deep scratches all over it! It was also a P.I.T.A. to install and didn't work as good as what I have now! I think the Enzotech will do much better!

what do you guys think these will clock like?
Honestly, for $129.99 for 2x2GB, I wouldn't expect very much! That pretty grill work looks real nice but I don't see it doing much to help remove the heat from the chips, which are clearly visible in the pictures. That's why just about every heat spreader you're likely to see is solid to maximize contact with the memory chips. At least make it solid where the chips are. In spite of the price, I would pass on them!

the heatspreaders on almost all ram stix are there more for the company image than aiding in cooling, i think only about 3 or 4 do infact help cool the chips; dominator, reaper (and x) and the flexct water cooled jobbies.
as for how they do, well we shall see as i have already ordered them just wondered what you thought about them. even if i cant get much out of them i wont be pushing them to their limits till i upgrade my cpu/mobo again as i cant get more than a 440 fsb and even then its only @ x6 so i wont be doing that :P all i need is ddr1066 and it will keep my happy till easter.

That's all well and good, but these are DDR21000, PC28000! They aren't 1066MHz memory they're 1000MHz! I only mention it because of what you said above!

Abuzar - for encoding try 'Apex Video Converter Super'. It's what I use, tiny little prog but will convert anything to anything. I use it for making avi's of TV shows into .3gp for watching on my mobile phone. It's really quick, will reduce a 30 minute avi in about 1-2mins. Will do all avi, mpeg, mp4, rm, and apple formats.

Well with OCZ RAM you might be pushing it at 1000Mhz anyway. Especially with 4 sticks, I doubt it will go much over 1000.

RE: OCZ DDR3-1000,
Keep in mind this is new generation DDR and it runs a lot cooler then before at same speds. I had good results with the OCZ heat spreaders on many modules, compared to same size and speeds with either none or tiny solid aluminum (like Crucial's). If their average DDR800can hit 1000, then I'd expect 1066 easty out of these. Besides, unless you use an up-multi, you're not gonna even touch 1000 with anythong under 500FSB. I foreget what CPU, but if you have any of the E6x50 then utilize that 500FSB and you'd be cool right at DDR1000 and if you have an E6850 or coming E8400, and a top notch P35, or any X38, you'd be likely to hit 1066 as 1:1.
RE: OCZ heat sinks, The 2x2gb DDR2-800 4g kit I mentioned utilizes the same OCZ cooling and ran conciderably cooler then my older Crucial RAM at saem vdimm and frequency (both stock PC2-6400 > DDR1000 @ 2.2v). Thet keep cool enough on their own but do even better with the optional OCZ fan block or any type of forced air coling cause of the tiny hole desing (allows air to circulate throughout and heat to disipate much quicker).

lol, my bad, the first link I opened directed to a DDR3 page.
But nevertheless, OCZ has a good overclocking potential even over that of the Corsiar XMS series in most modules and sizes. So with stock cooling, DDR1066 is more then likely obtainable. might need 5-5-5-18 but still as good as cl4 @ 800MHz.
Did I hear you say you wanted to use 4 sticks? Utilizing 4 slot on any current chipset hinders the OC potntial and creats heat to mobo , expecially if forcing an up-divider. For the money spent, you'd be better off getting the 2x2g (4GB) kit for $80 - $100. The kit I mentioned will do DDR1000 al day long but neds a bit more juice to hit 1066. I haven't te
sted to beyond 1050, just cause I didnt need it on the mobo in testing. Buyt @ DDR1050, it did need 2.245v. I believe 2.6v may get the 1066 if I tweaked them some more.
The 2x1g kit did 1066 @ only 2.2v and I'm certain it could have done more with more vdimm
For the best buy, just get a good set of OCZ or Crucial PC2-8500 and use with whatever speed you need under 1200MHz. DDR2 is dating so prices are coming way down.
Crucial Ballistics PC2-8500 are going for less the $100.00, not bad for 1200MHZ (if you deside to OC)
