just make sure ur psu is off.

At a guess a 3.5ghz Intel lol!

I got this when I had no keyboard in my PS2 port. Weird. Are you on a network? You say you have disabled wakeup, you've deffo got wakeup on lan disabled right?

200mhz Vs. 512/cache. I know what I'd pick. :D

The bigger cache.

If you can afford the SD go for the SD. I think difference will be minimal, but it's the better processor. Don't know how well the SD clocks tho? I know the Venice clocks very, very well in some instances. :cool:

Thanks for the vote of confidence buddy. :) Just spoke to the company he said if my pin snaps he'll still RMA it for me. Bloody nice chap. :D

Hehehe probably not but here's to hoping! Assuming my RAM is good I should be able to run a 3:4 and get the 1.8ghz to a 2.6-2.7 but we'll soon see. Was thinking of hopefully being about to run around 330 HTT. Seems like a lottery on how well your hardware will perform. Hope the funny pin...

I have the same processor sitting on my desk about to RMA it because a pin was bent, I've just straightened it. My AMD 'batch code' is... LBBLE 0516 CPCW. Yours is CPBW. No idea what difference this is.

Just used my finger nail to push it straight - the pin is now inline with all the others. Only problem is that at the base of the pin it does look slightly 'weak' maybe I'm being paranoid. I'm in 2 minds here. If you took the CPU out NOW and looked at it you wouldn't notice anything wrong, but...

CPU arrived yesterday with a bent pin! Found out that the pin reference is memcheck[8] from the AMD website. Is this an important pin? I want to put my rig together this weekend and don't want a lousy pin to hold me up! To RMA it back to the company I got it from can take up to a week! Do you...

What's safe working temperature of the card? With the ATi tray monitor can you setup an alarm. Reason is I see if I overclock the card, it maybe fine on desktop and surfing the web, but once you hit HL2 on max settings for a couple of hours you can't keep checking the temp unless you alt+tab...

also bud - whats the diff between the red and blue PCB's any idea? Or jsut diff colours and thats it. Thx.

Cheers mate - whats the prog which reads the card's temp?

Howdy! Just got myself the above as an OEM therefore no drivers cd etc... http://www.sapphiretech.com/downloads/downloads.asp Assuming I need downloads from there, what do you recommend I download? Thank you.
