    FS: 2x1GB Corsair XMS DDR400/PC3200 (2 sets, never used)

    Per title, I have 2 sets of DDR400 RAM for sale. Model: TWINX2048-3200C2 2x1GB (matched pair) 2-3-3-6, 2.75V I had to RMA a bad set of 3200C2-PT sticks and they sent me two new sets for some reason. I don't know how that worked out, but I now have two to sell. The original RAM had...

    Question @ 8800GT + HR-03 GT idle/load temps...

    I was able to fix it last night. Good stuff. I removed the heatsink, to check coverage. It was ok. I then spread a bit more around the bottom of the heatsink and scraped off a tiny bit from the GPU. I doubt that made any difference. The biggest change I noticed was that I tightened down...

    Question @ 8800GT + HR-03 GT idle/load temps...

    Last night I installed the HR-03 GT on my video card (eVGA 8800GT OC). It's been a while since I've had to install an aftermarket cooler, but I probably did something wrong. I gamed for a couple of hours last night... just WoW, nothing extremely demanding. So far, I'm not seeing good...

    Getting up to date on SATA II. Question...

    Cool. That helps a lot. So basically, the cables are the same. Are the newer-style connectors designed to simply hold the cables in place better? Also, (OT) -- What's the deal between the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe and Premium? The only difference I see is the chipset cooler. One has a fan...

    Getting up to date on SATA II. Question...

    I guess what I was trying to ask is: If I buy a mobo with only SATA II (the newer-style) headers, will I still be able to use my regular SATA drives with the newer cables supplied with the board? Or do I need a board with the older-style connectors for my HDDs? With respect to the cables...

    Getting up to date on SATA II. Question...

    I have a related question about SATA II... I'm in the process of upgrading my PC. I already have two SATA drives. I noticed that many new mobos only have SATA II headers, but some have both SATA and SATA II headers (i.e., 4 of each). Currently, I've selected the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe as one of...

    Upgrade all the guts, or just the vid card?

    :) The lack of that extra 5-8 fps is gonna kill me!! :p Nothing's decided yet. I will consider all suggestions when I actually have some money in my hand.

    Upgrade all the guts, or just the vid card?

    But can you achieve X850XT clock speeds with an X800XT?

    Upgrade all the guts, or just the vid card?

    The how-to site says that only PCI-X versions are available, but the vendor site you posted on page one says AGP with a photo of a PCI-X card. Is the AGP version definitely available?

    Upgrade all the guts, or just the vid card?

    How can you tell that it actually goes from 12 to 16 pipes? Is it indicated in the ATI control panel? I assume the firmware upgrade is direct from the ATI website?

    Upgrade all the guts, or just the vid card?

    Someone else mentioned this to me today as well. They suggested an X850 Pro card flashed with the X850XT-PE firmware. He OC'd to X850XT-PE speeds with an Arctic Cooling Silencer 5. Said he bought the X850 Pro at Best Buy for $229 or so... I can't afford a full-blown rig upgrade, but I...
