And NO, I was not using Win9x. In fact I was using WinXP which has ALWAYS been stable till I installed a raid controller card and even a COMPLETE format didnt fix it. And YES, the RAID controller has already been removed. hehe, i think i&#8217;m beginning to sound like a certain someone i&#8217;ve very familiar with.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/misc\/new_computer_1.jpg.html\">picture<\/a> of my old mb + cpu fan. (notice the excess thermal paste i used. i was uneducated about thermal paste back then. always thought the more the better. hehe)<\/p>\n<p>Welp, i sorta ran into a roadblock during this upgrade. Realized I didn&#8217;t have DDR-RAM and the new motherboard only supported DDR in contrast with my old ECS motherboard which still had SD-RAM compatibility. Guess more RAM for my server @ home. hehe. Oh well, i was forced (yes, my computer is my life and i feel as i&#8217;m dead with it not on) to pay summer ram prices ($49 shipped for Crucial Technology 256MB PC2100 DDR-RAM). Best Buy just had a sale this weekend which I got in on (PNY 256MB PC2100 DDR-RAM for $50 &#8211; $20MIR)<\/p>\n<p>here&#8217;s some pictures during the upgrade:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/misc\/new_computer_2.jpg.html\">pic1<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/misc\/new_computer_3.jpg.html\">pic2<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/misc\/new_computer_4.jpg.html\">pic3<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/misc\/new_computer_5.jpg.html\">pic4<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/misc\/new_computer_6.jpg.html\">pic5<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/misc\/new_computer_7.jpg.html\">pic6<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>next thing i&#8217;d like to talk about is networks. u know, how ethernet cables have 8 wires. well 4 of them are useless. I found that out from animebons who i was helping creating some network jacks for the company i work @.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s only 4 wires that are being used, 2 for transmitting (wire 1&#038;2), 2 for receiving (wire 3&#038;6). So inside a hub, switch, or a jack, only 4 wires are being used. So I saw how 1 jack miracuously became 2! by using wire 4,5,7,8 and converting them to wire 1,2,3,6, we were able to run 2 network jacks to the server which used to be one before.
