    ASUS Sabertooth P67 Motherboard Review

    Nice, but why but P67 when Z68 is the chipset from now on? Kind of a waste.

    Yes! This looks more like a P67 with a heavy dose of photoshop.

    Corsair VX550W vs. Corsair HX520W @ [H]

    Just a note: Only the HX620 is certified by AMD/ATI for Crossfire with their new HD3870/HD3850 cards. That has to say something.

    HD3870, Which One To Get?

    Does anyone have a link? :confused: I used search, but can't find it. I just got a HIS 3870 from Newegg, but was thinking of swapping it for the Sapphire due to the software bundle (PowerDVD v7, DVD suite v5) both of which I could use. However if the service is c**p, I could just keep the...

    Need EXPERT Help Choosing HD 2600 Card for HTPC

    I REALLY need help choosing a video card for a new HTPC build that my wife is INSISTING I do quickly (really!). THIS WILL BE A DEDICATED HTPC feeding a 52" 1080P LCD TV – not a gaming rig. So I’m looking at the ATI HD 2600XT family with DDR4 or DDR3, ether 512M or 256M. A CrossFire setup is...

    2600 AGP flavors

    I'm giving the 256M version a try in my P4 3.2Ghz HTPC to stop HD droped frames during playback (currently a 9800Pro) - using Vista Premium. Should arrive from Newegg today. However, I've been reading posts that the AGP version can NOT use the Visiontec DVI-to-HDMI dongle to carry sound...

    ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT @ [H]

    Since the HTPC seems the only really compelling reason to buy these cards, I find it VERY frustrating that they don't (at least for now) have an HDMI cable port from the factory! :rolleyes: Could nobody at AMD/ATI have forseen this?

    A [H]ard Look at Power Supplies

    One thing that kinda bothers me is the use of the Tripp-Lite LCR2400 Line Conditioner. That seems to invaladate any results as far as "real world" use is concerned. I really doubt that any average user will have such a thing, and how a PSU handles "real world" power line problems is critical...

    SeaSonic M12 700watt PSU

    If you can't wait for Seasonic, you might want to try the Corsair HX series - made by Seasonic and seem to be identical. You can find them at Newegg Here

    The memory I bought, was it a good choice?

    Many have found that value ram can be a problem with DFI boards. See the last sentence in the alt. motherboard paragraph of this review at TechReport Personally, I feel that a board with as many memory adjustments as DFI has can be made to run any RAM that isn't "broken". All DFI boards...

    are dfi mobos picky about ram?

    Sure, but you need to first understand what PSU is needed. I had an Expert (first rev. - AA0) and on the advice of RGone (a Super-Mod) at DFI Street forum chose the PSU in my sig. It solved a "cold boot" problem on one of his boards, and I never had any kind of problem. It only costs about...
