Hi all, I've got a Win2k server running RAID-5 on an Adaptec SCSI RAID 3210S adapter. The array contains 3 Maxtor AtlasIII 36GB SCSI HDD. The day before I decided to add one more HDD to the array. I used the Adaptec Storage Manager Pro to add the disk to the existing array and then reconfig it.

Severe texture artifacting! help!

gillius28

I have been having this problem for a long time and I need assistance. When I am in a game, and have my graphics set to low settings, it is fine. However, when I crank up the settings to a higher quality, (usually the texture quality that triggers this), all my textures start artifacting.

AMD motherboard recommendations

ross_aveling

Hi All, I'm looking to upgrade my system and have decided to jump ship and go with an AMD Athlon 64 CPU. Why AMD? Basically because I'd like to stick with my current AGP video card (a Radeon 9800XT, and still pretty decent IMO) and use my current 1GB of PC3200 (DDR400) memory.
