you just need to max out the ram and use it asa big ramdrive, or get a solid state hard-drive.

Well the harddrive arrived from RMA today! :bounce:
Hopefully it will last more than a week this time!!! And it wasnt even installed!!
Ahh well, off to play I go.

BTW how am I supposed to update bios on a motherboard that doesnt have a floppy connector??? :?: :shrug:

Through a CD I did it thorugh my mobo (yes it will auto install a new bios) how big is hd?

[kane2g]

its still a 40gb, but this one is better than the previous 2.
Its 133 (first one was 66, second 100) and it seems faster, so Im assuming its a 2mb cache? I dont really know, but it is faster!
so Im happy. In process of reinstalling everything as Im typing this. But this time after im done, Im ghosting an image, so in case something goes horribly wrong, I dont have to go through this again!

A PSU with longer 20-pin power connector wires might make installation a little easier. Now that I think about it, power to the PSU in a car is a bit of a puzzle.

OK, just finished installing everything.
woohoo!
I got a atx extension cable thats about 8" or so, so no problems there. also I will connect it to a inverter, so its all good.

Check out the pics.

Yo kane for the PSU they make converters that will take it from the ciggy lighter...they are like 13 bucks, but it will run off your car battery

[kane2g]

You mean power inverter? where it gives you 110V, right?
Got that already. And its hardwired into the car, so no worries.
now I need to get the screen and put it in.

[t00lb0x]

Cool, how big is the LCD? (9 inches?) omg that is gonna be so 1337...

[kane2g]

Well ATM Im looking into gettin either 7widescreen or it 8.4 will fit.
I cant go bigger due to the size of the space I have to work with in the car.
Maybe will take some pics so you get a feel of where it will go.
