    NF3 + 6800 + 7x.xx drivers = game freezing issue

    Nazo is right, as many VIA chipsets have problems but I've had no problems with the K8T800 Pro I'm using now. I have other VIA boards that just don't play well with certain memory types too. I take it you're trying to stick with an AGP Mainboard, so you can use your AGP card? If so, they're...

    Thermaltake Wheel?

    Perhaps you're thinking of the Thermalright SI-97A? If so, everyone I know with a Thermalright HS swears by it, regardless of model. Just be sure to get a good ball-bearing fan for it, not some el-cheapo sleeve bearing fan. I use a Swiftech MCX462-V on my XP 3200+ Barton and a Swiftech MCX6400-V...

    Thermaltake Wheel?

    Just out of curiosity now, found some reviews by people that bought this fan. Pros (only 1) were that it is actually fairly silent, cons were it's ugly, it's selling for more than most people think it's worth, it has no fan grill nor any way to mount a fan grill so cables can be sucked in as an...

    Falcon #1 who is #2?

    Excellent reply, c1001. Very informative, full of facts and not conjecture. You did a really good job answering all those questions and I just wanted to point out that I'd noticed. We could use more people like you on the forum. Great job!

    NF3 + 6800 + 7x.xx drivers = game freezing issue

    @ Retaliation, Wow, maybe waiting for the NVIDIA update would have helped me too. I just had way too many months of aggrevation and wasted way too much money to wait any longer, believing that there was nothing more that could be done. Glad to hear you're not having any more issues with nForce...

    Falcon #1 who is #2?

    You're welcome, Chris and thank you for the PM. I'd just finished reading it and replying. I fully understand your situation and there are no hard feelings. Feel free to write me any time! :) :cool: ;)

    Falcon #1 who is #2?

    Thank you, Chris, for the explaination. I understand now why you'd felt the way you did but be assured I was not in any way trying to abuse the forum. I'm 47 years old, I've worked for Fairchild Space on the U.S. Space Shuttle, I've worked for Honeywell and RCA in the military computer industry...

    Falcon #1 who is #2?

    Hence my final words of "If I was to buy another ready-made computer, it would most likely be a high-end gamers' Laptop and not a Desktop computer, something with an AMD FX processor possibly, a good high-end gaming GPU plus at least 2x512 DDR400 low-latency memory. With Laptops giving the...

    Thermaltake Wheel?

    There ya go, magoo. Links do help since I'd never heard of or seen one of those before. Yea, if it's out of sight like you're saying it will be, may not be so bad. It looks to be well suited for low noise, has a low profile and good air flow specs. I've been using a ThermalTake 92mm fan on a...

    Falcon #1 who is #2?

    I haven't purchased a ready-made computer in over 7 years, I always build my own, although it does help to get something that's been thoroughly tested with all compatible parts pre-installed. Can save hours/days/week/months of trouble-shooting compared to when you build yourself and run into...

    Thermaltake Wheel?

    Looks like it was hit with an ugly stick. Best if used in a case with no side-panel window. Erggg, ugh, bleh. Um, did I say it was ugly? It may work, though, nice air flow rating.

    NF3 + 6800 + 7x.xx drivers = game freezing issue

    Yep, I tried everything that was ever suggested and then some, to get my 6800 to work with two different nForce3 boards plus one nForce2 board and nothing worked. I have an AMD64 FX-53 CPU and the ASUS A8V Deluxe which is Socket 939. Wish you could see how well it all runs now, it's truly...

    NF3 + 6800 + 7x.xx drivers = game freezing issue

    It's usually much cheaper to switch to a VIA Pro Mainboard than to buy a different AGP card. My BFG 6800 GT OC 256MB AGP card was @ $399 when I bought it, a bit cheaper now (@ $299 at some stores). My ASUS A8V Deluxe with VIA K8T800 Pro Northbridge cost me @ $119 plus tax/S&H and it completely...

    AMD ripped out of Socket!!

    Hehehe, my point exactly. Pointless interjection, good one! I like that! ;) Corsair and DFI don't play nice? I didn't know that. Learn something new everytime I come back here. That's good to know, if I ever get a DFI board and for those that already have them. I'd like to know how things...
