    Help with endless bootup loop in Winxp!

    800 to 1066 ram setting help?

    I don't get it either, this stuff should be plug n play. I am guessing though 1066 memory is infact 800 that can handle 1066 speeds? Something seems weird. :eek:

    800 to 1066 ram setting help?

    According to the bios it did not detect the correct timings. I set it to what was marked on the chip sticker. 5-5-4-12 or something.

    CPU suggestion?

    I do run along with my native resolution of 1920 x 1080. I was hoping SLI could improve performance when running games maxed out like Crysis at this resolution!?

    CPU suggestion?

    I was planning on running two 8800 GTX's in SLI as I already own one. Overclocking most likely isnt going to happen, I want something I can stick together out of the box and just go with it. Thanks for the help!

    CPU suggestion?

    I'm looking at using the EVGA nForce 780i motherboard, I think this is a high end choice? Anyhow I am kind of confused on what CPU to pair it with. I keep reading all these ups and downs on the different flavors of Intel CPU's and need some advice. I am willing to drop up to 600 on a CPU, and...
