Thanks Everyone!

I think (knock on wood) that my i7 950 project is complete. So far everything seems FAST and (more importantly for me) STABLE.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here on the i7 thread who...

Re: PT9, W7 Optimization Questions

Hi Bruce,

Yes, they were rebuilt, but for some reason the MIDI drum track in the template session is no longer audible after trashing the original folders. I'd just like to know for certain what...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Mykhal,

My confusion lies in the fact that when I installed Windows 7, I never got either of the options shown in steps 5 and 6. I kept waiting to see such options but never did.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Thanks Mykhal,

Yes, that worked - thanks. But what's going on re the formatting?

Did Windows automatically format the drive before the installation without asking?

What about partitions and...

I'm Frightened

I just looked at my C: drive in Device Manager "Properties". Under the "Volume" tab, there's no information at all - no Capacities, no Type, no Unallocated Space - nothing.

First, Bruce - thanks for the reminder about backups - I think I was getting ahead of myself. I need to get all the drives initiated and run Acronis before going any further.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

The reason I ask is that I've got my new machine all caught up on patches and updates except for SP1. I just thought I'd better double-check before installing it.

Thanks.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

albee,

Was there a reason you went with 6x2Gb instead of 3x4Gb with your memory? Is there some advantage to using more sticks?

Also, I'm curious about how you decided on the PNY 1Gb graphics...
