Sorry for the zombie thread. I looked through all the articles and could only find a Q2 09 in ASUS notebooks release timeframe. Is there any more detailed date? I need a new laptop by the end of summer this year, and it'd be nice to have something with a HD 4860M in it. The only problem is...

When do these things get released? I need a new laptop by summer.

Is it confirmed yet that the Phenom IIs will be full featured in AM2+ boards minus the DDR3 support?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102792 It isn't low-profile, but it is short.

750i, they just start up randomly.

I've got a friend having a problem with his 9800GTX. I can't really describe it, so I'll just post the pics: http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d63/stevezissou_/ass.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d63/stevezissou_/bawlz.jpg Please excuse the titles... they're his, not mine. First he...

Will these things be faster/more powerful than the current generation of X4s? I know the Core 2 Duos gained some kick when they were revised, but the Brisbane revisions of Windsor cores seemed like a notch down on the poll from my standpoint.

Maybe screen tearing, but R6V and R6V2 is infamous for making tiny bits of lag huge (that's if you're in multiplayer, of course).

Since there are like 15 pages of text, I'll just ask instead of read: Has anybody managed to find any way to get either of the slots to run in PCIe 2.0 x16 instead of the usual x8? I've heard this board is locked in x8 no matter what you do, but people here at [H] tend to know more.

What are the best programs to burn in my memory, CPU and GPU? Should I be using 3D Mark software or something else?

I'm looking at two monitors: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009126 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009094 What would be the major differences, other than price and ACM vs. normal contrast? Also, what is ACM contrast?

So, I just bought 4 GB of RAM DDR2 1066 for a AM2+ 780G MoBo. Will it be running at DDR2 800 until I get a Phenom (I'm running a 5400+ X2 Brisbane)? This was originally my HTPC, but now it does light gaming (TF2 and CSS mostly, with some gMod).

Will a 5400+ X2 on an AM2+ MoBo (780G) with 3 GB of DDR2 667 bottleneck a HD 4850 on Windows XP? I'm looking to upgrade an older spec'd PC of mine for LAN parties and such (mostly CSS, BF2, and TF2). It was originally a straight HTPC, but who says it can't become a partial gamer? I'll go for...

The MoBo I'm actually looking for AHCI is actually a 780G running XP that I just built as a HTPC. Does AMD make drivers?

Search seems to be down right now, and I can't find where to enable AHCI drivers in Windows XP (lots of solutions for Vista, but none for XP) over the Google.
