Well, everything came in on Wed exept the video card which came in Fri. Had everything up and running (exept for vid card) on wed with no problems. Friday when the vid came in, I installed Win XP. Every thing ran fine for about the first hour, then started loosing vid signal and the screen would...

Ok guys, my wife messed up and bought the wrong CPU. She got me the E6550 instead of the E6750 like I wanted. Why she didn't go from my wish list, I don't know. Q. What am I going to loose and is it a big deal? She also got me: HIS Hightech H385Q512NP Radeon HD 3850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI...

I don't know if you guys look at shipping cost when you buy your hardware. The VisionTek will save me less than $2 with shipping and buying from Mwave will only save me less than $3. I have already calculated what it would cost me to try and buy this stuff from differant venders and came to the...

I would but I am at max right now on funds. That is the only reason I am getting the SAPPHIRE 100216L Radeon HD 3850 256MB instead of the 512 version even though it is only $20 more. All my old stuff I am replacing is going into my wifes system and her stuff is going into her son's. Part of my...

Ok guys, after reading many reviews and taking some advice from you guys and people on another forum, this is what I came up with so far. I decide to go with RAID after all, I will just have to save some green and get another drive next year. I know I said I was not a fan of Abit, but I was not...

Should I get chip set coolers and replace the OEM ones?

Ya, your right. I forgot this is shopping season and all them guys are out fighting those crowds, standing in line for hours just so they can spend more money than they would if they would have just bought it on line. Your also right that I don't need Crossfire or SLi. After going to that...

I think this is what I am going to go with Link Depot 3 ft. DVI-D male to DVI-D male dual link Cable, Black Model DVI-3-DD - OEM ASUS P5K-E/WIFI-AP LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail SAPPHIRE 100226L Radeon HD 3850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 HDCP Ready...

No, I don't use RAID, Firewire or legacy ports nor do I have a need for them. I would like to use Crossfire in the future (which P5K-E has from what I can see), but don't has the funds for a second card at this time. I do understand that tech changes and may have to buy 2 cards in the future...

Ok, I am going with the intel. Now I need some input on motherboards. Here are the 3 I am looking at. I am kinda leaning toward the ASUS board. Need some feedback on the 3. ASUS P5K-E/WIFI-AP LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail...

I am going to upgrade my system and need advice on which way to go. I need to pro's and con's to each. The differance in price between the 2 is only about $3. Any recommandations are welcome but this is about the max I can spend right now. I do gaming, video's, internet, watch shows on the...
