    How does Core i3/5 affect the hardware game?

    Great thread folks. I'm looking at a similar debate myself right now. I currently have an Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 Conroe 2.13GHz that I usually run at a mild overclock of around 2.4Ghz. 4GB of DDR2 RAM. My thought is to buy fairly cheap and hold myself over for about a year or so until the...

    Need recommendations for 4GB in Abit AB9 QuadGT with eye towards future (i7)

    Looking to upgrade to 4GB of RAM (2x2GB). I want to buy a couple of sticks with the idea of later on upgrading my mobo and cpu, probably to the i7 generation. What can I buy now that will *probably* work in that generation of boards? Current setup: Abit AB9 QuadGT i965 Intel Core 2 Duo...

    Gaming and dual monitors

    Trying to figure out how to have dual monitors running with an extended desktop and still have full screen gaming. I don't think this will work with a single video card right? Can I buy a second lesser card and just throw it in to acomplish this or is it a limitation of windows? The goal is...

    Any abit AB9 QuadGT users?

    Retsam, I don't use Speedfan however I found the latest version of PC Wizard works just fine with the Abit uGuru monitoring chip. If you minimize the program to your taskbar it will display your CPU, Video Card, and Hard drive temps in the upper right hand corner of the screen. I don't...

    Any abit AB9 QuadGT users?

    Just reporting back my experiences with my new QuadGT. Updated it to the latest BIOS. So far it's worked great, and that's even using a Windows installation from my previous motherboard. Anyways, the good stuff- so far running my E6420 at 3.0Ghz (8x375). That's with the stock heatsink/fan...

    abit AB9 QuadGT @ [H]

    I'm a new owner of this board and so far it's quite nice. Just had a couple of comments and questions. -Why did you test this with the 1.00 BIOS when version 1.03 is available? Common consensus among users is between then and now a LOT of issues were addressed. -There have been several...

    Any abit AB9 QuadGT users?

    "Is there a Windows based BIOS flasher that I can use with this motherboard?" I answered my own question. The CDROM that was included with the motherboard has a utility on it which allows you to flash the BIOS from Windows. It worked fine, I updated it from the local hard drive as I had...

    Any abit AB9 QuadGT users?

    Just ordered this board from Newegg, along with the E6420. Looks like it will be a nice combination. Is there a Windows based BIOS flasher that I can use with this motherboard? I don't even have a floppy drive anymore. My current motherboard is an Asus and flashing from Windows worked fine...

    Memory suggestions for DFI P965-S/E6420 combo?

    Just need some confirmation on the numbers I'm running. I currently have 2GB of Corsair XMS2 PC-5400 which will run at 333Mhz at 5-5-5-15. The E6420 runs at 2.1Ghz=8x266Mhz. That means I could overclock the E6420 to 2.66Ghz using a 1:1 memory ratio or 3.34Ghz using a 4:5 ratio, all the while...

    Memory suggestions for DFI P965-S/E6420 combo?

    Hey guys, Just checking in to see what the latest is with RAM trends. Going to purchase myself a DFI P965-S motherboard and C2D E6420. I will be attaching a Zalman 9500 heatsink to it. I'm not going for monster bleeding edge overclocks but would like to squeeze a bit of juice out of it. :)...

    GA-965P DS3 Issues

    Hey Chris, Good to see you're still rockin' the boards. You helped me out about a year ago with my Pentium D overclock adventures and mobo selection. Still cranking my little 920 at 4.0Ghz. Updated to a 640MB 8800GTS and it's still a very capable system. I see you updated your box to...

    Cheapest overclocking mobo for 920?

    So I should of followed chrisf6969's original advice. I started off with the Asus P5PL2 with my D 920. It turned out to be flaky under heavy load at 3.7ghz (266FSB). Then I decided to upgrade my heatsink to the Zalman 9500 and try the Abit AW8-MAX. It had two problems. As far as I could...
