    What would you do?

    I think I'm going to hold out and get some more information on when the P45's are due. It sounds like they are due out VERY soon. I also need to RMA one of my hard drives, since the connector broke on it. Right now its attached with krazy glue, a business card as a shim, and a prayer. I'd...

    What would you do?

    That sounds good to me, especially since newer motherboards tend to have all the nice little extra things that I like. I wasn't aware to new chipsets coming out, I will have to check that out. I've always heard great things about intels chips, such as the x48, etc. So we'll see!

    What would you do?

    My quandary was, does a DDR3 motherboard allow DDR2 ram. I doubt that it does, but if it did, all the better! The marketing bonuses to DDR3 do sound enticing, its just a little expensive for me. (its getting a lot better though) I would be going with 4 gigs of ram, no matter which way I...

    is my motherboard compatible?

    The intel website says it is pci express 1.0a on the specifications list. Also, it will absolutely work with 800mhz ram. However, very few DDR ram sticks in 1gb a piece will work at the low voltage this motherboard puts out to ram, and it is likely why your ram is capped at 533. I'm running...

    is my motherboard compatible?

    I have a pretty inferior motherboard. Intel DG33TL. According to the intel website, the PCI Express16 slot is 1.0a. Most of the newer cards of course are 2.0. I know that generally it is not required to have a 2.0 slot, but I have also read that many cards do not work with a slot that is...
