Just swung by the brand new BB in south Houston (league city, tx), they had one left at the regular price (279.99) I figured I'd pick it up then go back later to get the pricematch.
Off to play Crysis at a decent FPS.
I bit on the 19" WS. It wasn't on display and I had to ask for it. Sounded like they only had one in the store (webster/south houston) Not a single dead pixel in mine. Cross your fingers on the rebate!
(Oh I also bought a 50 pack of 16x DVD-r 10.00-4.00 MIR = $6.00)
I just bought it for the cpu, slapped it on an asus p5b deluxe and that puppy is running at 3.5Ghz. May be I got lucky, but I'm not complaining. DDR2 has major compatability issues on the ECS board, but DDR1 works fine. I'd say it's a good interim board. The sales guy at the local fry's say that...
I was just looking for a list like this. Saved me from spending hours going from site to site.
I've been having a hard time finding hardware sites that have these motherboards reviewed. If possible can you put a "+" or a "-" for overclocking features on these m/b's?
Thanks again and keep up...
Dang the fedex guy came early today. But with "signature service not requested", the card is sitting in front of my door. Looks like I'm taking lunch early....
This is gonna be such a fun weekend.... my fedex guy gets here right after his lunch break, so I think I'm taking friday afternoon off. Hey it's summer, nobody cares.

<a...
What do you mean with whatever happened with this? :confused:
I'd say buy the other XFX 6800 also for $164 you'd get a better bundle (and prettier box)
and I'm sure chances of unlocking are the exact same. But you're right, false advertising, it's just a vanilla 6800 running at 325Mhz and...
Default Mem is actually 750 on these cards.
Anyway, it wouldn't take a GT bios, but Nibitor let me change the default frequency
to 400 so it won't thermal throttle. Now running 16x6, 400GPU 900DDR for a 4063 3dmark05, (still with default voltage 1.2V and stock cooling, Idle temp:57, max temp...
Mine is working like a dream, all pipes unlocked. Having issues overclocking though, it looks like it is clock throttling the GPU. Any ideas how to turn that off? It's kinda annoying to see a nice frame rate in 3dmark05 then all of a sudden a freeze frame while riva turner shows that the core...
Mine is on the fedex truck out for delivery. I also doubt it's the GT nor DDR3.
If you do a search you'll be able to find the pv-t40k-ndd5 as well as an ndd7, and I'm pretty sure there isn't any DDR5 out yet, let alone DDR7 :D
If the pipes unlock I'm keeping it, if not, I'll complain to...
