I just downloaded CPU-Z and tried it out. It recognized my Opteron 170 with no problems, but I noticed my core voltage changing from 1.376 to 1.360 to 1.392 to 1.376, and kept cycling through those voltages. This also seemed to be changing my core clock as well. Is this normal? What...

Well all the parts arrived...finally! Opteron 170 A8N-E EVGA 7800 GT CO Fortron 500W Blue Storm Replacing: Athlon XP 1800+ A7V8X MSI Ti4600 Antec 350W Smart Power WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!! I'm so happy! I was leaning towards an ATI card but they don't have anything that comes...

Hey guys, I just ordered one of these. Most reviews that I read said that it was a pretty good PSU. Anyone have experience with this particular part? Thanks.

What's this I hear about the 7800 GT not working with Vista? I hope this guy is completely off his rocker... Anyone else hear that?

Just ordered my Operton 170!!! (Sounding like Homer Simpson) WOO HOO!!!!!

After about a year or so of putting it off for financial reasons I have finally ordered my parts for an upgrade. I just put in my order from NCIX for the following: Asus A8N-E mobo EVGA 7800GT CO AMD Opteron 170 Fortron 500W PS These to replace a well aged MSI Ti4600, an A7V-8X and, an...

If I were to buy a new motherboard, brand new board out of the box, would it come dual core ready? or will I have to update it with a different "dual-core" bios? I am looking at the ASUS A8N-E in particular. Thanks.

Hey guys, Asus A8N-E compatible with an Opteron 170? Also, what size/type of power supply would be a decent choice? I'm pretty sure my Antec 350W won't do. And which video card would be my best choice, 7800GT or 6800GS? Keep in mind I have an LCD at 1280x1024 res. I know the 7800 GT...

GTO or GTO2, what is the difference between the two?

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is in the right place, but do any of you know of any good computer shops in the Arlington, VA area? I'm heading down there on business is a few weeks and I want to check out some prices and maybe pick up a few things. In Canada, even with the dollar...

I'm probably going to upgrade my system soon. What would be better to go with? A Venice 4000+, or an X2 3800+? Explain. I don't really do much other than fold, surf, and game a bit. I'm not a crazy hardcore gamer or anything, but I may oc the cpu a bit. They are both around the...

How much better, if any, would the 256MB version 6600GT perform compared to the 128MB version? Any ideas?

When are we going to see the new mid-range cards come out? ie. the Nvidia 7600 (?) or ATI X1600/X1700 (?) I can't possibly afford the 7800/X1800 based cards and I think it would be pointless to spend money on the 6600 or X700 right now. Any ideas?

What do you need to RMA an Asus mobo? The reason I'm asking is I found one on eBay from a guy that says it is brand new, and I trust him because he does have a very good rating, but in a few months if it craps out on me can I RMA it without a receipt? Thanks in advance guys.

Are the problems that people are experiencing with this motherboard only affecting the SLI version or are the problems affecting the non-SLI Neo4 Platinum as well? Reason I'm asking is because I'm looking at either the Neo4 Platinum non-SLI or the Asus A8N-E and coupling it with a A64 3000...

Ok guys, I need some tips. Some friends and I want to set up a CS:S server at work. We are connected to the internet, but we are blocked by the firewall from gaming (understandably) so we figured it would be better if we set it up with a few bots. There is only 6 of us and a 6 person game...

I've checked a few places for specs on what BF2 will run on and I have seen conflicting reports. One place shows that you will require and FX5700 or Radeon 8500 (CD version), and another place says that you only need a GF3 or Radeon 8500 (DVD version). I have a GF4 Ti 4600 and I am pretty...

I am beginning to see a trend in today's hardware market. IBM couldn't get the Apple chips correct, ATI is apparently having delays on the R520, and now Sony is having trouble getting developer kits ready for the PS3. I'm sure there are more, but the trend seems to be that some...

I have never tried to do it yet but I was just wondering if I could use my PS2 on my PC using the VIVO capabilities of my Ti4600? Anybody know?

Unless Nvidia changes the numbering system on their cards (ie. 6200, 6600, 6800 and a G70 card being 7800GTX) in three generations from the current crop their model numbers will be the same as ATI's last generation of cards (9200, 9600, 9800) Discuss...

Ok, so I went out looking for a new CPU the other day and when I asked a few computer shops if they carried the A64 with Venice core they looked at me like I had three heads. From the retail box, how do I tell if it is a Venice core or not? Is there a unique part number between a Venice...

Hey guys, I have a Yamaha CRW-F1 External burner. It is USB 2.0, but I was wondering if it would work with USB 1.0, or 1.1. Do you guys have any idea? I checked the website for it and couldn't find anything. Thanks.

Is there anyway to set up Visio so that when I double-click (or something like that) on a device in my diagram it opens up a telnet session with that device?

How do you guys keep your LCD screen clean? What do you use to clean it and keep the dust off?

Ok fellas, I got my first DVD burner the other day. I bought the LG-4163. Burned my first DVD and let me tell ya, if you don't have a DVD burner, get one. I freed up so much space due to all of the updates, patches, drivers, and other little files that I had downloaded in the last 6 - 8...

Hey guys, First time poster, long time reader. :p I am looking at upgrading my system in the next few weeks and I have been torn on the video card. At first I was looking at the ATI X700 PRO. Good card and has lots of memory with the 256 MB card, but from reading some reviews the 6600GT...
