00:00:00.599 --> 00:00:06.680
so I've got some pretty cool stuff I'm going to be working on over the weekend

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:10.920
uh first of all I got my Zotac gtx480 that I unboxed the other day and

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:16.199
actually did an NC Tech tips episode regarding uh well I guess the value of a

00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:21.680
lifetime warranty and then next over I've got an adaptech

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:25.599
5445 RAID controller card it's hooked up

00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:27.679
to three Hitachi 1 TB drive so this is

00:00:25.599 --> 00:00:32.000
going to be a part of a couple of different things I'm going to do an

00:00:28.840 --> 00:00:34.879
episode about their Max IQ SSD cache

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:38.559
feature and I'm also going to do a actually here I should give some

00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:44.719
background for that where's that drive uh got a momentus XT here so basically

00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:46.920
this is like a big um server grade

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:52.840
solution of what a momentus XT is so instead of having a single laptop hard

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:55.079
drive with one uh 4 gig SSD kind of

00:00:52.840 --> 00:01:00.760
built in you can take this RAID controller card you can hook up like

00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:02.600
three drives in raid five or a raid zero

00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:10.840
or whatever you want and then you hook up an adaptech SSD as a 32 gig cash for

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:14.520
it so that's pretty cool and then the next one over is just a a network card

00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:20.960
so that's not very interesting but basically I'm going to be doing a couple things these Hitachi drives are for an

00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:26.000
episode on raid how to set it up how to install Windows on a raid configuration

00:01:23.320 --> 00:01:29.920
and then this is for the maxiq episode and then this one this Zotac one I'm

00:01:27.759 --> 00:01:33.640
actually going to be using for a G4 so overclocking guide it'll be pretty much

00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:38.320
like the radon overclocking guide but the key difference is that um you have

00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:42.159
to adjust the Shader clock as well as the core clock one more piece of

00:01:40.119 --> 00:01:47.759
Hardware I have that is pending an episode of tech tips is this Kingston 4

00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:51.399
gig kit of their blue series RAM and I wish I had a better angle on it so I

00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:55.560
could show you where it says blue on the heat spreader but it looks like I can't

00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:59.280
but that's going to be a little episode on RAM overclocking because Kingston's

00:01:58.039 --> 00:02:03.719
big thing with this RAM is that it overclocks really well so there you have it that's

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:11.679
all the stuff that's sitting on my test bench right now and uh that is my

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:11.679
weekend update I guess
