so I've got some pretty cool stuff I'm going to be working on over the weekend
uh first of all I got my Zotac gtx480 that I unboxed the other day and
actually did an NC Tech tips episode regarding uh well I guess the value of a
lifetime warranty and then next over I've got an adaptech
5445 RAID controller card it's hooked up
to three Hitachi 1 TB drive so this is
going to be a part of a couple of different things I'm going to do an
episode about their Max IQ SSD cache
feature and I'm also going to do a actually here I should give some
background for that where's that drive uh got a momentus XT here so basically
this is like a big um server grade
solution of what a momentus XT is so instead of having a single laptop hard
drive with one uh 4 gig SSD kind of
built in you can take this RAID controller card you can hook up like
three drives in raid five or a raid zero
or whatever you want and then you hook up an adaptech SSD as a 32 gig cash for
it so that's pretty cool and then the next one over is just a a network card
so that's not very interesting but basically I'm going to be doing a couple things these Hitachi drives are for an
episode on raid how to set it up how to install Windows on a raid configuration
and then this is for the maxiq episode and then this one this Zotac one I'm
actually going to be using for a G4 so overclocking guide it'll be pretty much
like the radon overclocking guide but the key difference is that um you have
to adjust the Shader clock as well as the core clock one more piece of
Hardware I have that is pending an episode of tech tips is this Kingston 4
gig kit of their blue series RAM and I wish I had a better angle on it so I
could show you where it says blue on the heat spreader but it looks like I can't
but that's going to be a little episode on RAM overclocking because Kingston's
big thing with this RAM is that it overclocks really well so there you have it that's
all the stuff that's sitting on my test bench right now and uh that is my
weekend update I guess
