Hi Matt,
thanks for your comments. Have you installed the stadandard Intel's heatsink or the Zalman's one?
Thanks in advance,

I initially had the standard Intel heatsink installed and it worked without any issues. But because I plan to overclock the E6600 I figured I might as well get some better cooling. So I now have the Zalman 9500 installed. Works great. It is rather large so if you'd probably want to check you case for clearance etc.

The maximum temperature specification is for case temperature, measured at the center of the outside of the heat spreader. Monitoring programs report the temperature of the on-die integrated sensor, which is higher than the case temperature.

I installed Conroe X6800 processor on asus P5WDG2-WS Pro Mobo and 'm running it at 15% overclock specs. The temperatures are still under 45 even under heavy processing loads with Intel stock cooling fan. I used OCZ silver thermal compound rather than the stock one.
gud luck,

After reinstalling the fan the temperature decreased near 10 degrees. Now, measuring with Core Temps it has a little bit more than 40 degrees that it's pretty fine.
Enjoy your box !!

Thts correct, at idle you should have 40 and while running at full load you should not go beyond 45 with a perfectly installed cooling system. For me since I overclocked it from 2.94GHz to 3.33GHz.. my temperatures are acceptable.

Hi,
I have a laptop IBM ThinkPad and I want to connect it to my TV. How do I do that?

How about asking Lenovo support[^] about it?

Hello everyone. can anyone tell me the addresses of the I/O ports through which the Hard Disk can communicate with the Operating system??? Like, the base address for ATA primary hard disk controller is 0x1f0, the base address for ATA secondary hard disk controller is 0x170. can anyone please tell me the other port addresses which can act as an interface between the hard disks and the Operating system. Thanks..
Vijay.

You just go to device manager and view the hardware's properties where you get to see Memory address space, interrupts, and I/O ports for it!
Or you could search Ralf Brown's free interrupt list the part about I/O ports!

Does anyone know if a 15" (or bigger, integrated screen - i.e. not a strap on) touch screen laptop / notebook exists? The largest one I have seen so far is a 14.1" rugged unit.

Does anybody have any clues on how to disable a touchpad programaticaly?
I think that Windows must have some kind of wrappers or interfaces to do this...
Any leads will be more then appreciated.
Thank you.

Use System.Management namespace(hint: visit and search MSDN) because this namespace has all about attached hardware to your computer plus diagnosing them!!

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to write a util that can list all the devices attatched to a given machine....
WMI would be good so that a remote machine can also be queried....
On this I've already had some luck....
The real problems I'm having are:
1. Showing an autochanger (invisable)....?
2. Extracting the serial number for a given device.
3. Extracting the SCSI path to a device I know is SCSI attatched(all I can get is the win ID).
4. Doing it in a managed framework.
Does anyone have any ideas???
Thanks Rob

how do I, programmatically (c++), get the driver's version (to simulate the device manager data --> driver's properties)?
thanx

Hi,
I am looking around for a MoBo with some specific requirements. Here are the specs that I am looking for-
The board should support 2xDual-Core Xeon Processors (Woodcrest/Dempsey)(800/1033/1333MHz FSB)
Atleast 1xPCI-32bit (2 whould be fine), atleast 3xPCI-X and atleast 1xPCI-e x16. It would nice to have Dual channel SCSI host-raid adapter. 2xserial ports (1 port and 1 header is also fine). Must support DDR2 ECC registered or FBDIMMs of 667MHz or greater.
Apart from all of the above mentioned specs, here is an important spec that I must have on the MoBo, it should a seperate chipset for PCI-X and PCI, in other words a PCI card installed on a 32bit PCI slot running at 33MHz should not slowdown the PCI-X cards installed on PCI-X slots and running at 66MHz or higher.(This is very important fro my setup and applications).
If anyone have any suggestions on this type of MoBos, lemme know. I really appreciate your help.
thanks,
-Pavan

Thanks, I have gone through all those sites (Tyan, Intel, SuperMirco, Asus, MSI). Intel is out of the picture as it doesn't have any board which meets atleast near to my PCI specs. Coming to Tyan, their boards seem very good and reliable for a 'server' environment, but doesn't seem challenging for a DP workstation. Asus and MSI are also having any boards meeting my PCI specs, except Asus workstation board (but unfortunately its SP board) and their server boards doesn't have atleast 2 PCI(32bit). I am left with SuperMicro xeon boards, they do have boards with my PCI specs, but I am not sure how they work and their reliability. Coming to budget, it doesn't matter, what all I am looking for is a DP MoBo supporting Woodcrest/Dempsey processors(800 to 1033MHz FSB) and 2 PCI (32bit) and 2 PCI-X and 1 PCIe-x16, 2 serial ports and 1LAN and I would like to have high HDD trasfer rates and PCI-X speeds. Budget is not at all a problem.

You could try posting to hardforum.com. While thier overall focus is on highend gaming systems there's enough overlap with other highend hardware that you should be able to get some input. Overall relyability of SuperMicro if nothing else. PCI-X is an obsolescent standard, so finding support for it on new boards is going to be an issue.

anyone willing to share working code to open and read a file (read - only) in kernel mode. i need to be able to open and read (for copying) specific files that are not usually accessible. i have been told kernel mode is the way to go.

Hi All,
I am about to decide between these two processor options for my new machine i am buying.
A. Intel® Core® 2 Duo® E6700 Processor (2.66GHz, 1066MHz, 4MB)
OR
B. Intel® Pentium® D Processor 960 (3.6GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2x2MB L2 cache, EM64T)
This is going to be my development (production) machine (.NET development etc.)
I am inclined to go for the Intel Core 2 Duo.
Any advices, experiences on the above? Please share.

In absence of AMD in your list, I would say go for Core 2. Its new architecture, runs cooler and provides path to quad core.
