Well honestly I have read a couple of reviews on different gigabyte boards and they were not too stellar (not saying they are bad), But for less than $100 there are some ASUS and MSI boards in stock at the egg, and i really dont like buying used on FS/Trade. Trouble is dont know which model...

Well, my abit IP 35 pro is failing and I need a replacement. I am not sure which way to go as I am on outdated hardware and there is not a lot in stock for these 775 socket mobos. Can someone please recommend a good replacement? See sig for specs.

OK How do I go about getting it. Also does that include 64 bit version? I don't think I would want to game on win7 with just 2 gigs but if I can get win7 for 50-60bucks I might send word to the family and put in a request for some ram for my birthday next month.

Thanks for the input guys. I did panic though as I went most of the day without any responses and I called and voided the order as it had not shipped yet. I did order the 1GB version in its place. Much thanks defaultluser for getting to the bottom of that. I think I will be fine though with...

I'll take some :)

I ordered a 2GB HD 6950 off the egg yesterday and just stumbled across something I was completely unaware of. I am still on XP and according to this http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91260 the 2 GB of Vram is going use up all my address space leaving me with no system memory...

Actually I have seen several threads on different forums with similar problems with evga. Also two of the RMA'd 8800's were tested on another computer and gave the same result. I am pretty confident that they bad cards but as I am sure you know with PC's, sometimes the problem is well hidden...

I am having some problems with EVGA and I was wondering if someone might provide any insight. I have been through 5 RMA's with EVGA to date. The first 4 were for an 8800gtx, and of those 4, the first 3 were bad right out of the box - got blue artifacts on the screen in windows and could not...

Yes both run at 2.2v - thanks

Was wondering if anyone could tell if this will work well before I try. I currently have 2 gigs of corsair pc8500, and I'm playing a stalker mod that chews up memory. I happen to have a spare stick of cruicial ballistix pc6400 and thinking putting it in to help ease the burden. Will this work...

Have any one had trouble with the Asus Beta bios 1409

Was wondering if anyone can give any advice here. My phone was just stolen along with my ipod so i need to get something to replace them. What i need is a phone that can serve as my ipod/mp3 player as well. My biggest concern is cost. I am currently with sprint /nextel, and my plan is about...

Dont suppose you know how to test if the PSU is going bad? I might have made a breakthrough though. I have alot of devices running through one outlet on the wall, TV, my rig, laser printer, plus a hefty cyberpower surge protector. I just tried turning everything off except my rig and the...

My cpu is fine w/ orthos (20 min), problem has worsened though. Cant even get into windows with a set of drivers loaded. Had to go safe mode and uninstall them. SOS ...........

Well any games I play are causing lock ups and ati tool causes them as well. My gpu and cpu temps are fine. No OC on gpu, and did an orthos stress test on RAM for 10 minutes no prob. My GPU drivers were installed twice in safe mode w/ driver cleaner. Any ideas as to what gives? PS this...
