Helmi, can we look forward to a new beta of DP_Base that can deal with the shortened directory/archive paths?

there are some cpu coolers that run the heat pipes outside the case via one of the PCI card cutouts.

with that cooler, the CPU temps hit 88c??

You might want to double check how the cooler is mounted, that temp is way too high.  It's kind of easy to only have three of four pushpins in place.

maybe it's possible to support the all of the SI chips with the raid-only drivers?

make sure that mobo has the latest BIOS loaded.

vueScan does OCR all by itself you know.......

OEM scanner software for the most part, even Nikon and Epson, is crap.  Doesn't even begin to come close to the electronic/optical capabilities of the hardware.

That's where vueScan comes in.  Works well and gets the best possible results from your hardware.

Plus, one license and you're set for life for pretty much any scanner you'll ever buy.  Or quantity of scanners.

built this thing last week for a hair under U$ 900-:

Intel DG33TL mATX mobo
2 Gb Kingston ram (2x 1 Gb sticks)
E6850 C2D CPU
2x Seagate 200 Gb SATA drives running in RAID 1
1x Samsung DVD+-RW ATA drive
Ultra Products BX9 mATX case with 600w PS
OCZ 'Vendetta' all-copper CPU heatsink/fan

The Intel MCH and ICH9R have 40mm fans added by me.  These fans keep the bridge chips cooled below the threshold for actually reading temps.  Without the fans the MCH would run at 90c and the ICH would run at 70c.

The CPU is cooled to approx 45c with 100% load on both cores and to 30c with no load.  The stock Intel cooler (junk) would let the temps creep up to about 65c at full load.

Anyway, I'm physically 'downsizing' the home machines (making them smaller) and won't buy anything larger than a mATX board and a SFF case again.

Besides, Intel puts so damned much I/O on all their boards these days you don't really need more than one PCI and one PCIe x16 slot.

5x 3 Gb SATA
1x 3 Gb eSATA (or a 6th internal SATA, my choice)
12x USB 2
2x 1394
1x GigE
CIR, Consumer Infrared remote control for HTPC stuff
GMA X3100 IGP, VGA and DVI-I connectors, can run both
7+1 HD Audio, direct speaker hookup as well as SP-DIF optical
1x PCI (for whatever)
1x PCIe x16 (for future video)
4x DDR2 ram slots, dual/quad channel capable, the BIOS can run up to 1333 mz memory

I'll be adding an ATI 3850 video card in a month or so.  But for now the Intel IGP is more than 'good enough'.

The mobo is capable of running the latest 'extreme' quad cores as well as any of the 45nm chips so there is a bit of mid-term future proofing there.

Everything got picked up by the latest driverpacks without trouble.  And yes, I will post the HWIDs Real Soon Now.

Just built myself an E6850 box with a genuine Intel mobo, nice and speedy.

users of fast-scsi SCA drives have had this convienence for what, 10 years or more now??
