Yeah they do, you just disable the raid bios in your normal bios, rendering the ports as standard SATA controllers ;)

Can't dude, I won't have any SATA ports then. (I tried last year)

Extract the ZIP, run the EXE and click on the RAM tab - this will tell you how many channels you are running at.

It appears to be running in 'dual channel'
.........Thanks Rich :tu: :)

Just drag it from the start bar?

Drag it from the Start men, or quick task bar, but press and hold ctrl and shift while you do it.

(ctrl copies, shift moves, and ctrl-shift makes shortcut).

OR right click, goto New Shortcut, and point it at c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe

But using IE.. tsk tsk tsk.... :)

Or right click on Desktop and select properties. Then select desktop tab. And choose Customise Desktop from the bottom of the window.

That way you get more than a shortcut, you can right click it and acccess the internet properties etc...

And if you want a shortcut to a specific page, say, Cableforum for instance, just right click on the Desktop, select "New Shortcut" and type the address (say http://www.cableforum.co.uk ). :D

Anything that saves those extra couple of milliseconds so you can build up your postcount at Cableforum even more.. :D

Um...you made a typo.
I don't think any machine will get that much until about 2030. :D
Take a screenshot of the score window by pressing ALT + Prt Scr then post it here.
