so I've got some pretty cool stuff I'm going to be working on over the weekend
0:04
uh first of all I got my Zotac gtx480 that I unboxed the other day and
0:08
actually did an NC Tech tips episode regarding uh well I guess the value of a
0:13
lifetime warranty and then next over I've got an adaptech
0:18
5445 RAID controller card it's hooked up
0:21
to three Hitachi 1 TB drive so this is
0:25
going to be a part of a couple of different things I'm going to do an
0:28
episode about their Max IQ SSD cache
0:32
feature and I'm also going to do a actually here I should give some
0:36
background for that where's that drive uh got a momentus XT here so basically
0:41
this is like a big um server grade
0:44
solution of what a momentus XT is so instead of having a single laptop hard
0:49
drive with one uh 4 gig SSD kind of
0:52
built in you can take this RAID controller card you can hook up like
0:57
three drives in raid five or a raid zero
1:00
or whatever you want and then you hook up an adaptech SSD as a 32 gig cash for
1:08
it so that's pretty cool and then the next one over is just a a network card
1:13
so that's not very interesting but basically I'm going to be doing a couple things these Hitachi drives are for an
1:18
episode on raid how to set it up how to install Windows on a raid configuration
1:23
and then this is for the maxiq episode and then this one this Zotac one I'm
1:27
actually going to be using for a G4 so overclocking guide it'll be pretty much
1:31
like the radon overclocking guide but the key difference is that um you have
1:36
to adjust the Shader clock as well as the core clock one more piece of
1:40
Hardware I have that is pending an episode of tech tips is this Kingston 4
1:44
gig kit of their blue series RAM and I wish I had a better angle on it so I
1:49
could show you where it says blue on the heat spreader but it looks like I can't
1:53
but that's going to be a little episode on RAM overclocking because Kingston's
1:58
big thing with this RAM is that it overclocks really well so there you have it that's
2:02
all the stuff that's sitting on my test bench right now and uh that is my
2:07
weekend update I guess
