Most likely you could easily sell one of the 8's on the marketplace here. Those kind of parts go quickly...

I donno TBH...if I were to sell one, it would be just a single chip...useally people buy in pairs....

 

I was thinking something different. If two ppl established a trust relationship, they could split the 48GB. Unfortunately, our budgets are frozen for the year, otherwise, I'd be willing to look for another partner.

 

I noticed issues with the old 285 beta similar to that. However, instead of rolling back, you could try the new 285.38 beta drivers that were released today.

NVIDIA DRIVERS 285.38 BETA

 

I like this idea...I would be willing to work with a reseller on this....

BIG HINT HERE

Well, I recieved mine today, and TBH I am a bit dissapointed. While I like the USB 3.0, I wish it wasnt on the right side....I have to run the connection behind the system and plug it in. I also wish the USB ports were iun the back, that would make so much more sence. Oh well. Other than that seems good. I must say, it is definately big enough, and the fans seem to push air fine....

 

Yes I agree about it should be on the back for the USB 3.0. My right side is already too crowded with stuff...

You see, you need to your needs the paging file, for my he was not required , so as they say in Russia, "the taste and color-flamastery different ..."

big price

+10000

 

The guys at Mythlogic are getting some for testing and should be posting something in the near future.

 

Hey

Yea we tested 8GB SODIMMS in the X7200, works great! Had a X7200 loaded up with 24GB RAM. =)

We have 4 SODIMMS right now for sale, and we will have full production quantities mid-october.

 

why would someone buy 4, TBH....only need 3...only reason I havent got any at moment

 

Yes I think pretty soon these 8GB singles will be available...even with lower prices. By CES time anyway.
_

 

Ya, I can see myself jumping on them at that time.

 

I was just saying we had 4 to sell, not that you guys needed 4. We just got 4 thats all =) Fully aware you only need at most 3 it doesn't bug us to have one left over either hehe, so we obviously aren't selling them as a 4 SODIMM kit.

 

what brand memory you have available? and what frequency you have it? on what will sell it as a single model and the pair?

 

Its patriot DDR3-1333 we have 4 of them and we'll sell them by however many you want until I don't have the 4 any more hehe.

 

and a question for all:
What do you think about this case for ssd shopaddonics - Ruby ExDrive, eSATAp cable + USB 3.0 =?
I would use at home via esata and at work or with friends via usb 3.0.
Who thinks that? Can anyone suggest a better and a better alternative and thinner?
way off-topic: going to buy apple ipad2 64gb with 3g, tell me where you have the cheapest you can buy?

please tell me the last price for 3 modules? possible in PM

 

4GB Modules have dropped drastically lately to under $30/4GB. 8GB modules are getting allot more competitive now.

 

Yea soon as I can find a reseller to sell 8G modules not in a pre-made kit HINT HINT (I need 3 not 4) will pick up some....

 

Yea I was kinda thinking the same thing

If you guys want 3, we'll sell you 3 =)

 

PM me with a quote for 3 and payment you all accept. Also a phone number I can call and who I can talk to.

 

I was wondering guys, does anyone of you has a 6990m crossfire sstem? if so, could you post some benchs? Thanks in advance

 

Yes there are ones here on the forum with the 6990M in Crossfire, yes please post your findings, your temps and scores.

I think if you look back in this thread a bit you may find some benches.
_

 

Benchmarks using clevo x7200 don't seem to be anywhere. If someone has this configuration, and is not bothered to post the results here, i would be much appreciated.

 

remember there is 580m sli vs 6990m cf benches on notebookcheck?

I loaded the Beta driver. No luck, still flashes.

 

hi m8 i had the same prob but it started long time ago on a dif beta and i updated to a newer ver but no joy the of some reason i instaled a new ver of firefox and also updated the flash player after that it stoped flashing
by the way it was flashing with chrome explorer all of them + a some mail software as well but all of it disapered after the up date even that i had the newest flash i updated it on the adobe page have a try it might work

 

Did you use Cutom Installation?

When you choose Custom Installation there's options not to install unneeded parts like 3D Vision,NVIDIA Sound and NVIDIA Updating.

There's also a box to check that removes all of the previously installed driver which may help.

Have a copy of the working driver just in case the Custom Installation still doesn't help.

Also laptopvideo2go.com has a modded inf that is used to replace the one in the driver folder that has support for many more notebooks with driver 285.38.The 290.xx series is expected very soon.

Thanks for the comments.
I updated to the release version of the nvidia driver, and I updated to the new version of flash. I did not install the 3d parts of the driver. The flicker still happens, although it seems to be less often.

 

Not too bad. Has anyone bought from this vendor before?
_

 

I personally haven't, but I know people who have and they have had no issues. I am gonna sit on my cash for some till they drop a little more or hit newegg again, plus I am keeping a eye on this thread, waiting for these drives to hit the market.

 

Thanks. That does look interesting.

Yea they do. I am trying to get the most speed/versatility out of my system, while also having the most data integrity and least possible downtime, its a interesting line to walk.

 

M8s, who and how its memory clocked???
i have kingston 3x4gb 1866mhz.....

 

So, I got a wild hair and am comtemplating something, tell me, if possible.

Currently I have this setup:

C: - Boot - SSD - SATA III
D: - Data - WD Scorp Blacks - RAID1 - SATA III
F: - Blue Ray Player - SATA II

What I would like to do is take out the Blue Ray player, replace it with a 3rd WD Scorp black and convert my Raid1 to a Raid5.

so it turns out like:

C: - Boot - SSD - SATA III
D: - Data - Wd Scorp Blacks - Raid5 - Mix of SATAIII and SATA II
F: - External Blue Ray Player

I would accomplish this by removing the Blue Ray player, and putting in a HD caddy to support the installation of a 3rd WD Scorpio Black.

So, the BIG question is can I Raid5 across SATA III and SATA II ?

 

Is this for the x7200/NP7280? Are you planning on using the same model of Scorp? If so, then you might. But it is not a question of SATA II (3.0Gbps) or SATA III (6.0Gbps)

While you may have SATA III HDDs, the x7200 controller is only SATA II. So SATA II vs. III doesn't matter as everything is controlled by a SATA II controller. What matters is the x7200's controller for the optical drive. I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure I've seen specs/comments the optical drive is just a fourth connection to the same controller. You could always disassemble to verify this.

If that is indeed the case, the real question is does the RAID BIOS have some rigged setting where it only shows ports 1-3, or if you connect a HDD for port 4, does that drive also show in the RAID BIOS configurator? My guess is the RAID BIOS configuration *would* detect a HDD on port 4, so you might be good to <strike>do</strike> go. Also note, no only would this give you RAID-5 w/ a 4th disk, but you could also try RAID 10 if you so dared!

 

Mixing SATA II and III is not an issue as the only difference is channel speed. Also, since you 7280 is only SATA II, the III's will be limted by the channel speed and thus look like II's in terms of speed.

 

So, I ordered the caddy, I guess only TRUE way to see is to try it, already had the disk.....

Just a thought, I wonder how a 4th hard drive will effect heat and such....

Yes, this is for the Sager. I ordered the caddy and will try it. It will be same disks. The plan is to continue to boot off C, which is my SSD but Raid5 the Data stuff.

Think I will pass on the Raid10, although it looks interesting. I may call Sager Monday with some questions...

Back in stock if anyone is interested:

Newegg.com - CORSAIR 16GB (2 x 8G) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 Laptop Memory Model CMSO16GX3M2A1333C9

 

Slightly cheaper, PC3-10666 1333MHZ - Laptop - DDR3 RAM Experts.

I have never ordered from this company. I just found them doing a search for alternate vendors.

 

Actually, this works out to be cheaper, because you can buy 3 sticks, instead of having to buy 4 and being stuck with one and maby selling it at a loss.

 

Thanks for the link! So 32GB for less than $860.00. Sell one of them for $200.00 here on the forum, then it is only $660.00 for the 24GB...not too bad.

Yea..TBH, I dont see a lot of people buying a single chip here. I just dont see it. Did some googleing on thses guys:

http://www.ramexperts.com/ddr3/laptop/pc3-10666-1333mhz.html

and I dont feel that bad about buying 3 from them. I can get 3 from them at $629.97.

Regarding the newegg ones, I do like the idea proposed earlier, 2 poeple who trust each other make a deal, one person buys 2X 8G sticks and one person buys 4X 8G sticks, with a pre-arranged agreement to sell one to the other....

But without a pre-arrangement, I dont think wanna risk $200(ish)

Well, thought I would toss out a update. Recieved the caddy today, threw in the other WD Scorpio Black 750GB I had and was seen right away, building the raid5 as we speek, nice thing about Intel RST, When I built the array from the current Raid1 I had, It sked me if I wanted to migrate the data woot for not having to resotore a image.

Maby if I get REAL gutsy I will try a raid10, RST says its fully capable. ONly think holding me back is I would need to reinstall everything, where as going from Raid1 on data disks to Raid5 was a migration, wonder how long this will take....

Also a side note, I called both XoticPC and Sager, and they both said it was not capable to raid the drive in the caddy....guess need to call them back and mention it works just fine.

Here is a screenie of my new setup

will post some benchis soon as I initialize it.

 

Awesome!

I was pretty certain it could be done as the Eurocom Panther (which is based on the x7200) has been shipping this configuration for about a year. I just didn't know if they had any specialized components which we didn't have as a barebones x7200 or NP7280. Apparently they do not.

Thanks for your research, Mr. Guinea Pig! +1 rep!!

 

Now if the initialise would go a BIT faster........35% and its been running almost 12hrs .....

Yea I took a risk buying the caddy when both Xotic and Sager said it couldent...but I knew Eurocom was. I sent a email to Eurocom asking about it but never recieved a reply. Its funny though, even Sager said it wasnt posible when I called them.

I sent a email to them a few mins ago with a screen shot.

Think I am not gonna persue the raid10. It would require a reinstall and dont wanna deal with that, plus raid5 makes things a lot more flexible with my images.

On aneother note....interested in working a deal out for some 8G mem chips ?

 

With existing budgets, timing is not too good on my end. If you end up *not* doing something, perhaps sometime in Q1 '12 depending on a new budget.

 

AHHHHHHHHH..........only 58% initialised....could it go slower ?

 

Gotta give it time. Computing those parity bits for the third disk w/ out a true RAID card for XOR acceleration is going to take a long time on GB and GB of data.

 

I know, just frustrating....

 

OK some random thoughts here, feedback would be nice:

Currently I am setup like this:

c: - SSD - Boot drive - 256GB
d: - 3X WD Scorpio Blacks in a raid5 1.3TB

So I have pretty good protection for D drive with the raid5, speeds on the d: drive are ok, reads are very good, writes are ok

On C drive I have 0 protection and boot speed is insane.

So, I COULD do this setup:

c: - 4X WD Scorpio Black in raid10 - 1.3TB

Pros's:
Great protection for boot/data, speeds reads will be insane fast writes also very fast.

Cons:
Will takke a full reinstall of everything.

OK am I missing something here ? Raid10 souonds like the way to go...am I missing a downside ?
