Where did you get your DS4? I would love to buy one but they don't look available in the US. They have the feature set I'm looking for. p965 overclocking, passive chipset cooling, firewire and 2xPCI-E slots.
Well considering that it was widely known that nforce5 intel boards weren't overclocking that well (what I've read from previews of some of these upcoming boards) this is probably good news. To anyone that had been waiting for this board, get a Gigabyte DS4 or DQ6 that is available now with all...
The Sony SZ is nice (I've seen in person) and all but I'd definitely pick up the ASUS W3J. Just superior build quality and you definitely get more for the price. I would wait until Santa Rosa debuts so I can get the W3J even cheaper.. from a small ultralight laptop I'm not really expecting it to...
The DS4 also has 2 PCI-E 16x slots for SLI, 20 phase power, firewire, 2 extra sata ports, heat pipe cooling. Wow... basically a DS3 with a better southbridge and better cooling. I definitely plan to get this board.
Yes definitely too big. A friend of mine has a 32" in a huge bedroom he is sharing and even that screen looks almost too big in there. My advice would be to stick to a 24" or wait for the 27" monitors coming out.
I'm not too informed about crossfire, or SLI for that matter, but I was wondering if I get something along the lines of a x1900xt would it be possible to add an x1900xtx later for some crossfire goodness? Or perhaps even a newer generation card all together? Thanks for the help..
Agreed, considering the average overclock of the 6300 in the OC database and the consesus at xtremesystems, the 6300 is just a solid performer for the price. I don't think the difference in price between the 6300 and 6600 is worth seeing such a small increase in performance. And definitely not...
I would go for the E6300 hands down. My roommate just put together an E6600 system after seeing how my 6300 system performed (2gb xms2, ds3, 7900gt) and he went with a much more expensive build (asus p5w dh, e6600, same mem, 1900xt). My system scores 50 points less in 3Dmark06 while overclocked...
That's what I'm leaning towards, I have a 7900GT in another system I built, but it's not the eVGA KO version. This particular card looks like it gets a good 20% performance increase. I don't have much experience with ati so I'm not sure if the cards compare.
For anyone who doesn't have the time to build the computer piece by piece. I think this is the greatest generation of CPU's released to date. Asking price is $1700. Simply amazing, here are the specs:
CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 cverclocked to 3.0Ghz (stock vcore)
Motherboard - Gigabyte DS3...
