Any good mobo's out there for under $150 with the IEEE 1394 port on it and also supports Quad-Core? I need this as I just bought a Cannon Elura camcorder and will need to transer my homemade movies to PC. The mobo will pair with E6600. I was thinking of the GIGABYTE-DS3 mobo but found it...

WORD!! I've been waiting for at least one year now and will be ordering my Wishlist from NewEgg tonight. After that, I'll cease reading about whats around the corner till I feel my system NEEDS a upgrade, whether that may be 6 or 10 months from now. Frag

With my up-coming new rig (after price cuts), I have a question of how to optimise the single 320 GB HDD for gaming (its gonna be the Seagate 320 GB with perpendicular recording). Should I create 2 partitions and keep the OS/apps on one while use the secondary parition for games? Or should...

Same thing happened to my Samsung drive which was 2 years old....I even flashed the firmware to no avail....since the drive was old, I simply replaced it with a NEC Lightscibe burner......didn't really wanna spend my precious trying to 'fix' a 2 yrd old drive;) Frag
