    How is this rig?

    Also, after reading and responding to a thread re: the raptor, I am changing my HD for my 2 main systems to this: Maxtor Maxline III For $9 more per drive, I get a top-rated drive with 300GB, the 16MB cache I want and SATA150 with all its perks. Pretty good change from this one...

    WD Raptor 74 worth the price?

    IMHO, I will take a performance hit (hopefully slight and not noticeable in this case) and get a good drive with more capacity. I play a lot of different games, like to have access to them whenever I want, and hate having to choose what to remove just to make room for the next new game. So for...

    How is this rig?

    Yep. Here they are at Monarch. Good prices too man. San Diego OEM San Diego Retail They both have the BN code. OEM ships 29 Apr and the retail one ships 02 May. Sweet. I may just have to order from them since newegg isn't showing it yet. That core should kick butt. Lower power...

    How is this rig?

    Ok, I am back with some updates. I have been doing a lot more research on all of the suggestions you guys gave. Following lithium726's big reply: mobo - I am going to stick with the A8N-SLI Deluxe. Good advice from lithium 726 on using Abit as an alternative though. I used to get Abit all...

    How is this rig?

    Everyone, thanks for the great replies and discussions. As lithium726 said though, I am not overclocking nor am I going to use 2 video cards. Here are my reasons. With 4 PC's to build and maintain and a strong desire to play all the kick ass games with everything maxed out, I would rather...

    How is this rig?

    Thanks slamgoku. They are like new PC's, because I have had 3 PC's on an annual upgrade cycle for several years now. I am now adding a 4th PC to my LAN. My wife and I play with our kids all the time. My wife and I always have the 2 newest PC's and I cycle the 2 older ones to the kids...

    How is this rig?

    I am putting together the following as upgrades to 2 of my PC's, with one getting a new case and a new monitor. Both are getting speaker upgrades, going from 2.1 to 5.1. So, I will not list CD drive, floppy, Vantec rounded cables, etc. since they don't matter. But please, anyone tell me what...

    AGP Problem with 9700Pro

    Thanks for the replies. Last night I upgraded to 1007, removed the CAT 3.10 drivers and reinstalled them. I also removed the nForce drivers and upon reboot it reinstalled what it needed to. However, in the control panel, the soundstorm icon won't work now, as if the link is broken (it brings...

    AGP Problem with 9700Pro

    I am having a problem with AGP acceleration. In some games I was getting artifacts and others were very choppy. This problem suddenly cropped up. I looked at the display properties and noticed that smartgart had totally disabled AGP acceleration. Last week I updated to CAT 3.10 so I...
