Forgive me if I missed this but what is the capacity of the RAM?

Hi there; I'm looking for a cheap Socket T CPU, preferably with a cooling solution. Please post here or PM me. All offers are welcome up to $100. Also, if you have any cheap DDR2 RAM, I'll look into that, too. My eBay and HeatWare profiles are both under "xonitex" (possibly with a capital...

Okay, I'm taking option #1. Thanks, guys.

Hi; please check your PM's when you can. I think I'll buy the motherboard.

Thanks for the tip. I'm currently a student, though, and I have no car. The nearest Fry's is probably an hour drive away...rats.

I'm not so sure about this myself but I'm guessing it has something to do with your voltage if you're having to go up to 1.43v for 2.93GHz and if CPU-Z is giving a strange reading. 1.43v for 2.93GHz seems kind of high...have you tried something lower? Also, I'm having the same RAM timing issue...

Maybe this will be Doom 3 all over again...

I could do 1280 x 1024 with 4x AA and 16x AF on my 7900GT. You'll be able to go way higher on the 8800GTS.

I would do that except that I've tried those deals at Fry's twice before and both times I got DOA's from their crappy ECS motherboards. Getting a nice motherboard with a fast Celeron D is the same or better than getting a crappy motherboard with a comparable Pentium D in my opinion.

Sorry about the long post. Hi; Fry's currently has the Ultra Wizard case and the Ultra V-Series 500W PSU for free after rebates, so I went ahead and bought them on impulse. Now I need a motherboard, a CPU, and RAM for a cheap workstation PC. I have three video card lying around and I don't...

The GeForce 6200 is comparable to the base Radeon 9600 (I have both). The 64-bit 6200 is slightly slower than the 9600 and the 128-bit 6200 is slightly faster than the 9600. The 9700 Pro will be much superior to both.

Check the trading section on this forum. There's someone selling a 9800 -> 9800 XT (flashed) with an aftermarket cooler for $27. Another guy is selling a 9800 XT or a 9800 Pro for $40 or $50. $10 won't get you a 9500 or a 9700 unless you find a really, really good deal.

Hmmm...I've been lucky with rebates so far but I hear of this happening often, depending on which company the manufacturer has outsourced to handle the rebates. My main gripe is that it usually takes a long time to get the rebate check back, long enough that you've forgotten about the rebate...

Hey, on the trading section of the forums someone is selling a 9800 XT for, like, $40 (could be $30 or $50). Also, someone is selling an effective 9800 XT (flashed 9800 or 9800 Pro) with an aftermarket cooler for $27. The problem is that he says he overclocked the card until it artifacted at...

Really? I always do the rebates...I figured mainstream buyers wouldn't want to do the rebates but enthusiasts would go for it. Anyways... There's a "Hot Deals" section? Oops; sorry. Moderators, please move this thread if it's in the wrong place.
