SPDIF header on the motherboard into SPDIF header on the 8800GT (assuming both have the headers, not all do).

The 80 and 90 series Forceware drivers mention support via the MCCS Panel. The 80 series Quadro drivers mention support also. The 177.x drivers mention support, but only in relation to the DisplayPort AUX channel. Notwithstanding Nvidia breaking/deleting features in the progression from...

Unlike the previous Galaxy LP cards, there seems to be good supply in Australia, and not too badly priced. Got any mates in Oz who could post one to you?

My 2c ... About 3 weeks ago I had one of these die on me. PSU, MB, and circuitbreaker all went at the same time. Not sure if the circuitbreaker tripping killed the PC or the other way around ... (the machine had had less than 1 month on-time, but had been in storage for a while ... )...

The page isn't up yet, but also keep an eye out for the Intel DQ45EK. I didn't put these in the list earlier in the thread as they have only a single PCIe-x1.

Fussy, fussy, fussy. :-) :-) Also BCM Embedded Computing IX965Q.

Well, there are more than ten, but still not much of a selection ... :-/ NEXCOM -- NEX 660 -- s775 (C2D), PCIe-x16 Portwell [Epox] -- WADE-8156 -- s775 (C2D), PCIe-x16 Portwell [Epox] -- WADE-8656 -- s775 (C2Q), PCIe-x16 Portwell [Epox] -- PEB-7602VG2A -- s775 (C2Q), PCIe-x16 Portwell...

From the solder pads next to the VGA port that you can see here I'd expect a DVI version is in the pipeline.

There are no audio pins in HDMI. ATI have a non-standard implementation of HDMI/DVI (see my post here) that seems to use the pins for the second DVI link to act as sensor/excluder for non-ATI adaptors. What ATI did to enable audio-over-PCIe was nice (albeit a long-standing option under...

You have to use the ATI dongle because they have a non-standard implementation of HDMI/DVI (see my post here). There are no audio pins in HDMI. Your DVI-to-HDMI cable is fine, the problem is to do with ATI's non-standard implementation of HDMI/DVI.

Haven't seen this mentioned yet. Albatron LP 8600GT with DL-DVI+HDMI, DDR III, and PCI interface -- PCI8600GT. I presume there would be an SPDIF header given that it has HDMI, but the photos have HSF shroud is in the way. I wonder if the PCI bandwith would get in the way of smooth BluRay...

Well, the new Hitachi drive is fine. Installed XP SP3 using it in the SFF OK. The system is sluggish but I think that is due to running 1920x1200 with Intel GMA. (Not a priority to fix yet :-) So it is looking more and more like there is a problem with the IDE cables or the motherboard.

OC3D is reporting that ATI have accepted an offer by Nvidia to take up PhysX.

At the moment, unfortunately, no; I only have the three drives mentioned. I need to get a stable system built so that I can scan and recover both the old drives' files (and the SFF has't got the connections to do this easily). The intention was to wipe the Maxtor and move it to the SFF -- as the...

Its been quite a while since I've had to do any hardware debugging like this so I'm a bit rusty and feel that I'm missing something obvious; can anyone help please. Recently our general home PC has been a bit sluggish so I decided to do an offline supervised virus scan. Turns out the...
