Damn, how about anything from Omega?

I've had this problem with my VA1912wb since I got it almost a year ago now. My problem is that when I'm playing a game that doesn't support widescreen, I cannot get the image to crop properly, ie the black bars. Now some times its not a problem because the games can be 'hacked' to support...

I read an article on AnandTech and they said they got pretty good overclocking performance out of it. As long as I can hit that extra 400MHz I'll be happy.

That's pretty much the exact set up I'm looking to do, but I'll be overclocking. Good to know the ram is at least compatible and since the OCZ stuff is listed on MSI's site as overclocking well with that mobo I should be in good shape. We may have a winner.

Yeah, that would work if I pick up one of those cards. w1retap, I can order that no problem up here for around 150. Question though, is your brother overclocking at all? I'd be interested in how it preforms, because people tend to say the M2N-e that I linked to originally is a nightmare for...

I'm not sure that will work, it only looks like it has 1 IDE controller, I have three devices I need hooked up through IDE, this would only give me two. (2 hardrives and 1 optical).

Sorry, could you link me to this mobo? The one I found on NCIX was like 170 CAD, but I'm not sure if it's the right one. w1retap, are you saying that the DDR2-667 OCZ will work fine with it if I set it up properly? I should mention as well that I'm going to try and overclock the 3800X2s to 2.4GHz.

I've been building a system in my head for a while now as I saved up money, and thought that I was limited to a 939 board because of my AGP videocard that I didn't want to dump just yet. However, I found out that I can get the PCIe version of my card for about half the cost of what I paid for...

Good to know man, thanks.

I'll be using my computer for gaming, yeah. Ive been saving up most of my cash for Uni so I don't have a whole lot of extra money, or else I probably would go Conroe with a new PCI-E video card, but your right this leaves the option of upgrading that part of it later on when I can afford it...

Im going to buy this ASRock motherboard with the 3800 X2 chips. Im planning on overclocking it up to 2.4 and was wondering if the SI-120 would do the trick (the trick being not burning out whithin a couple years, Im about to go off to school so I'd neat about 5 years life out of it). I would be...
