Well , OK , maybe you hit the nail on the head . I never even considered this , but it makes a lot of sense . HDMI is an elegant connector , compared to the reams of cables we used in the past . SCSI , component , ... this top-of-the-line LG LCD does not even offer a S-VHS input , but has 3...

Ya , that's the thing . It was very handy to do quick analog captures in various codecs . I suppose analog is going the way of the vinyl album recording . Man , those LP vinyls with the poster inside and the lyrics included , and the cool album art . Grab and album , then sit back and explore...

Actually , my bad . By VIVO I meant ... Video In Video Out . That classic old feature we grew to know and love . Is there even a single cutting-edge card left on the market with this still included ? I just thought it kind of odd that none of the reviewers (that I know of) bothered to mention...

Sorry if I missed the funeral ... I guess I haven't been paying attention last couple of years . I've read a few card reviews here and there but don't remember any reviewer's comments on the death of VIVO . I mean , it make's perfect marketing sense to drop some hardware from a card in order...

Ah , seems I have found another "paid" ASUS man . They are everywhere . Too bad that kind of energy was not spent in ASUS engineering . If you want facts , just go to the ASUS tech support forum (I freakin' dare you) . It is well known there that : first -, the forum does not work (posting...

Oh man ! Sorry buddy , but that flame is not required , and actually , not allowed in this forum . Even the lowest of the low among us realize that one persons experience can be totally different that anothers . You had a good experience , but many have had bad experiences . Calling someone a...

RMA it . These new ASUS boards are crap . Get rid of it . If you fool with the new bios's you will eventually find a way to make it boot ...but so what ? From what I can see these ASUS boards have one or two components that do not like heat of any kind . They will run fine for a short time ...

Well : As much as I hate ASUS at the moment (my P5E-VM DO crapped out) , I think I will RMA this mysterious energy sucking package , and get another board . NOTE: *** ***FROM NOW ON *** 1) I WILL ... make sure that the reseller I deal with provides me with a 30 day replacement...

Light overclocking ? That's kind of what I figured . Oh well . I'm going to RMA this junk I have now , but was looking for something cheap to get me by until I get around to building another system with the RMA'd board . I hate RMA'ing . Big pain . The retailer offered 30 day replacement , but...

Well , yes , that's why I bought the Asus P5E-VM , but it's junk . I guess I'm really asking for someone who has or has had one of these boards to answer the question . Seems the .PDF mentions a 30% FSB increase etc etc etc . thanks

Thanks but ,as I said in my original post , I have the Q35 now and it's built by Asus , and it has lots of overclocking options in the bios . However , the boards are problematic , and many of the Asus boards are , from what I've seen in the Asus tech support forums . Many , many common booting...

Hi : I was hoping to use a search engine to find this info , but I don't think there is one on this forum . Anyway , the question is ... "are motherboards manufactured by Intel (not Asus or Abit etc) easily overclockable via the BIOS ?" . I'm guessing the newer X38 Intel boards are...

Hi , I'm looking at an Intel board to replace my brand new (not working) ASUS P5E VM DO .http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121094&Tpk=DQ35JO Does the Intel boards allow you to overclock the FSB ? I've downloaded the .PDF and I see that the bios has a "Burn-IN" mode where...
