I was curious if anybody is having issues updating the drivers for the various FM1 Socket Motherboards. In my case I only use ASUS motherboards but I have had issues with all of the FM1 socket motherboards. On many of the systems I have had to use ASUS drivers for chipset and video. If I try...

I am an IT Tech for a company, just took it over about 8 months ago. The company has 3 locations, a main office and two satellite offices that are connected by sonic firewalls. The sonic firewalls were put in by one IT company. A company previous to that one setup the main branch where the...

How long are the cables? I have a NZXT Phantom case and I am worried about the length.

Okay, so I bought a Sceptre 42" 1080p LCD HDTV X420BV-FHD for a Conference Room. I built a new computer for it. ASUS M4A785-M Motheboard GSKILL RAM 4GB Athlon 255 CoolerMaster Power Supply HEC Case Western Digital Hard Drive DVD Burner APC Battery Backup I setup at my office, installed...

when you say DC Power Cable, what would the alternative be? Well, I have tried to avoid running them together, an example being running the sata cable from the optical drive parallel to the Power Cable(and I would tie it up to be secure) when the power supply is on the bottom of the case. Was...

on a side not, is it wise to run power cable and a data cable parallel (tied up)?

I thought it would be okay. Just didn't know if it's better for performance/stability to have them on separate power connectors.

I am building a computer and I have a modular power supply. I like a clean case and that's why I love a modular power supply. So, is it okay to put the sata hard drive and sata optical drive on the same power connector?

I think a case can be made that almost all major manufacturers Customer Service is terrible. I bought a Samsung TV a couple of years ago, broken out of the box. Dealing with Samsung was like torture. It's the nature of the beast these days

Well maybe that thread has grown, a lot of the comments were questions about the board, not experience with the board. I know that Dan and Kyle have been reviewing it, but I wonder if ASUS puts out a board to review websites that they have tested first, so no lemon goes out the door.

So, I bought the P5K Premium Motherboard (DDR2). I got a first revision that had the SATA problem. (If you don't know about it, google P5K Premium SATA). I love ASUS boards. It's all my company uses. It's all I use. And I will say, everything else about the P5K is fine. So here comes the...

A little pricey for my budget. Any thoughts on buying a refurbished monitor. It makes me a little nervous but I could save about $50 on average

I am looking for a deal on a 22" screen that is glossy, not matte. Can anybody give me suggestions. Without physically seeing the monitors it's hard to tell from the description.

well, glossy screen is what I am looking for. I have a 24 inch HP that is beautiful. But I am trying to save money on this monitor (it's a gift). So, I am looking for a 22 inch glossy for about $200 or less

Looking at 22 inch screens that won't break the bank. For a a non gamer

I was wondering if the video capture works under Vista. So far I haven't been able to get it to go. I am trying to use Nero to capture video. It detects a device but it freezes up, or it looks terrible. AAAAHHHHH!!! Ya know, I like a lot of things about Vista but really, who is to blame for the...

Okay, am I missing something? These two procs are on newegg, they look exactly the same, and the q6700 is 350 less. What is up?

Okay, I know that the board has a lot of cpu square offs, but how about the E6850 or the QX6700. I know that the 6700 is almost double the money, but is it worth that extra coin. If it is, then that is what I am doing. Trying to avoid buying another cpu over the next year or longer. I am...

1. I don't know if a thread about this has been posted :eek: 2. 2 GB of onboard Memory. Well, what next, the kitchen sink :p So, has anybody bought it, read about it, or just want to get their opinions about it off their chest. Whatever, I have seen different pictures of this board, one...

Quote 4: Big video RAM gets you to the Vista memory barrier and crash land faster: http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets...spx?i=3044&p=2 "We also see our clearest pattern here of a difference in address space usage based on video memory, under Vista the address space usage with our 7800GTX is...

You know, what you say makes some sense. If the next gen ATI is around the corner(because this one has some issues) then looking at the 1950xt as a stopgap measure would be good. But what was the performance difference between the 1950xt vs x1800xt (my previous card). From the charts on toms...

Now boys and girls, let's play nice ;) Yea, I think Nivida makes great cards, and in a thread I posted a few weeks ago, I threw out there a scenario of the NVidia GTS w/640mb and getting a capture card (instead of the 2900xt), but didn't know which capture card was a good one, didn't get much...

Can't wait for the next Generation. I am pulling the trigger next week(Assuming the new Intel Procs/Lower Prices are to be as advertised). I am waiting to see if the x38 chipsets are coming out this weekend as well. Back to video cards, 489 for the Sapphire 1GB is awfully tempting. I am...

Thanks for all of the input. It isn't that I hate NVidia, I just like ATI more. I like the VIVO because I use it a lot for pulling video into the computer. I Like some of the other forward looking features of the card as well (hdmi). It isn't all about the gaming. Also, I want a DX10 card...

Well, I see two of them for sale on NewEgg and was wondering what the real deal is? This was done by the card dealers, it isn't sanctioned by ATI, or so I have read. Are they better than the standard 512? P.S. I'm not going to buy NVidia, so don't tell me that is what I should be doing, this...

Well, that may work in your world, where you keep throwing money down the toilet of bad customer service, but not me. If our company treated people the way I was treated then we would be out of business. You spend 2000 dollars on a TV, and please buy Samsung, I just hope for your sake it works

I bought a Samsung HLT5687S from Amazon on the 18th of May (Storefront was HiDef Lifestyle). I had done my research and found this TV to have all the features that I wanted, the picture was beautiful, and it was a good price. TV was delivered on <b>the 25th of May</b> without incident...

I am wondering about AMDs socket situation. Is AM2+ the same as AM2? Reason I am asking is becuase I don't want to buy an AM2 motherboard and proc right now and be stuck in a dead end socket. Any thoughts on this? P.S. When are the freaking ATI DX10 cards coming out!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the input everybody, so a couple of things i guess. If I go AM2, I will have a upgrade path when it concerns processors. My trouble was I bought the 4400+ 939 right at the end of the 939 architecture. They stopped at the FX-60 which wasn't worth an upgrade. I ended up selling...

I am getting ready to build a new system, High End but not crazy(not going to buy the 800 dollar processor if you know what I mean). What is the outlook for AM2? If I go with that platform, am I going to be screwed by summer. Made that mistake with the 939 socket. I could also go Intel Core...

No, i didn't include my two other hard drives that i have for storage, I have about 450 GB of storage. So Would it be worth it to run the Overdrive tool in the ATI Control Panel. On top of that, the ASUS board has some easy overclocking settings. You just increase by 5, 10, 15, percent...

thanks for the comments. I do a lot of gaming. Neverwinter Nights 2, Battle for Middle Earth 2, Heroes of Might and Magic 5, Morrowind Oblivion, you get the idea. Will do other hardcore projects in video and audio, like converting avi files into DVD compatible, using Pinnacle to edit Movies...

Thanks everybody, this is what I have ASUS A8N-SLI Premium 2 GB OCZ Platinum Ram 150 GB WD Raptor X1800XT 512 MB (Saphire) X-FI Creative Sound Card (Fatality Edition) 550 Antec Neo Modular PowerSupply Thermaltake Shark Case (Probably not necessary information but I have truly loved this...

This is what I have AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+(89W) Toledo 2.2GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor Was wondering if i would be worth the expense to upgrade to AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 Toledo 2.6GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket 939 Dual Core Processor. Was wanting to extend the life of my...

I am going to need to setup two monitors (LCD) and I need them both to be at 1600 x 1200. How fast a card do I need? Will the ASUS 7900GS with 256 MB of Ram be good enough?. Can I get something less expensive?

Okay, I read about this after I had already put my order in. I have an A8N-SLI Premium rev 1.02. And I bought the NEO HE 550. DUHHHHHHHH!!!!! I opened the Antec and it doesn't have an A3 on it. (and here we are in late April, still on the shelf Huh?) Should I continue putting my computer...

So anybody with any info on these .......

I am looking to buy a new monitor for my computer. I have about $350 of Circuit City Gift Cards so that is where I am looking to buy my monitor. I ran across a couple of choices that have gotten good reviews so I want to know what people think, or if they have a better choice. I am looking at...

That is true, you can play that waiting game forever, but do you think that the 939 architecture will be safe for a couple of years or if I go now, I am screwed because AMD will stop making procs for 939. Also, I wonder how good DDR2 is going to be with AMD because lets face it, it has not been...

Okay, I am getting some money back from my Taxes. I would like to go ahead and build a brand new system. Right now I have a 3.2 P4 Prescott, ASUS P4C800-E Motherboard(which has been a stellar motherboard, by the way), ASUS ATI 9600 XT, Audigy 2 Platimum, 74GB Raptor, 120 Seagate, 1 GB of Ram...
