I did a search and didn't see anything, if you find something just link me please. Here's my set-up: DSL internet that hooks up through my computer through a USB. I have a ABIT AW8D motherboard, Windows XP service pack 2. We have four computers hooked up to our DSL. One uses a CAT3 cable...

That sounds pretty weird but not unheard of. I'm not an expert by no means but maybe if I had to choose I'd think it would be something with the video card. I'd check the temps on the video card, it shouldn't be overheating but i'm just taking a very wild stab at it.

Please link me if this has already been posted, I did do a search before post. Ok, so I built my computer and it's running great. But My dad built a new computer as well with Core 2 Duo 6400 in it. Is it possible for me just to upgrade my motherboard and processor. I have the Abit AW8D and...

Alright thanks. I had a feeling it didnt', but I thought maybe it really could. Thanks for the help.

I did a search but didn't see anything on this topic. I bought a ABIT AW8D a while back. Now that Conroe has come out ABIT's coming out with their AW9 which supports it. But why does newegg say that my AW8D can support it? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813127235...

Hahahaha, yeah i know what you mean. I haven't updated to the 1.4 since people are still playin around with it and it's not probably 100%. However I did hear that Armor Fury is pretty sweet. But I hate payin 10.00 every time they come out with an booster for it. It adds up and i'm sure...

O I saw the price and I was like dang that's nice. I'm trying not to go over $1,000 but I guess I'll probably have to. Is their any other PSU that people like, is cheap, reliable, and is around that same price. Also is their any real difference to the modular cabling that is better then the...

Well I was on newegg just modding the wishlist for a upcoming build(first) and was wanting a good power supply due to the fact that these two cases I like the PSU wasn't the best. So I was browsing and I was a 5 out of 5 with four reviews. It's 580watts, modular cabling, and all that good...

Alrighty thanks for the help guys. :)

Ok I see all this stuff on ram about 2-2-2-3 and 2.5-2-2-3 and ddr 466 and ddr 400. Can someone explain what this all means. Is the lower the numbers the better it is. Also is having two 512 sticks of "dual channel" better then just a 1gb stick? If this was already asked please post a link...

Yeah I think I am going to get an opteron, just not the 146. By the time I get enough money anyway that stuff will be all gone.

True the opteron is more but only by ten bucks at newegg. It all comes down to $10 getting the opteron and ocing or $10 less and getting half L2 cache but good speed. :confused:

Yeah I get what you mean. Well I just meant by like on newegg their a choice of cpu type, like duron and sempron so I thought opteron might have been different. But then again if it was different then they would have put that as a choice. :p Also I get how some people blame people on here...

Ok so i've narrowed it down to either and 3200+ or and opteron. Would I need a special board to run opteron. I'm getting the abit 32x sli motherboard. http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813127232 . I guess i'll try overclocking a little if someone could just walk me...

Man I like that. Look's like it's got good cooling. Man now i'm torn between that and my rosewill case.

Alright first build and I'm short on money. Their is three processor's that look pretty nice. 1. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103539 2. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103533 3...

Alrighty I don't think I buy a new fan. Thanks for the help.

I'm probably going to get a amd 3700+, i've heard that most of the time stock fans and heat sinks and somewhat ok but sometimes they suck. My question is that should I drop another $40 on and artic cooling cpu fan or just use the stock fan. I'm buying arctic silver 5 but wasn't sure as far as...

Yeah I still think i'm going to stick with that rosewill case, I only need $400 and then i'll be able to buy everything at once with my current case and stuff.

Rgr. I wasn't sure because some people said it was big. Didn't want to have to send stuff back because it wouldn't fit. ;) thanks for the help.

Alright quick question would this motherboard, http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813127232 fit in this case, http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811147011 It looks like if wouldn't fit.

Yeah It looks pretty good and it has three 80mm fans so hopefully it will keep my stuff cool. Can always drill holes in the side anyway. :D

Ok I think I found a case I like, http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811147011 Four out of five eggs but it looks nice and can put 3 80mm fans in it. Also i'm sure it wouldn't be to hard to drill some holes into the side of the case for another if I needed to. What do you guys...

Yeah most if not all of the aerocool cases got five egg's on newegg.

Yeah I'm not really into all the neon lights and stuff. It seems like everyones leaning towards the aerocool case. Also lets just say for some reason i wanted to customize it a little and put another fan on the side panel. Cut a hole and then mound a grill and a 80mm fan on the side, how hard...

How's this case? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811133142 Any complaints or comments?

Lol, thanks for the help guys when I get home from school today i'll look more into it, any other suggestions? Sorry I forgot to put ATX in the orginal post. :p

Ok so basically I'm trying to find a nice case under $100. I would like good cooling and it doesn't have to have a power supply because I will by a new one anyway. Also I don't care if it has neon lights or anything like that. I want tons of space :) Its my first build so want a lot of room...

Speaking of ABIT, I went on Newegg today and went to my wishlist. The AN8 32X wasn't their. I looked through all the ABIT boards and didn't see it. Is newegg not going to sell them for a while if at all?

Yeah I guess I'll still get an ABIT, less then the asus but still sounds good and I think it will be perfect for my first build, just hope it fits in my case.

Now I get it. I posted on another link and the topic was how ABIT isnt' real swift to some people :( . So I may be on the long search again for a motherboard.

I'm sad to hear that ABITS support suckes. I was going to get an SLI board of theirs for my first build.

Wow, thanks for all the help guys. Sortof cleared it up but i'm still a little confused with the tech terms. Good to know that motherboard can handle it though.

Right now so far, i'm looking at a ABIT AN8 32X ATX AMD Motherboard, unless someone tells me it's crap then i'll have to find another one :) . Thanks for the replies.

Ok so it's my first build and i'm looking at hard drives. I see one that is a ATA100 and then a new faster one that is ATA150. I looked at my abit board I wanted and it just said "2 x ATA100 up to 4 Devices." So would I be able to get a ATA150 hard drive? I haven't seen any motherboards that I...

Ok thanks for your help. I was also looking at and asus mars cooler or zalmen. But It looks like wires could get cut real easy in that because it looks open. Is this ever a problem? Would kindof suck to turn it on and then cut some wires.

What do you guys think about this cooler? http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16835106038 I'm may do a little overclocking in the future. The Mobo is http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813138272 and the processor is going to be...

Ok, thanks for the help.

Ok yeah so i'm looking at a first build and am looking at a motherboard now, http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813138272 Now I was leaning towards getting a ATI video card. Could I have it run two ATI cards on this motherboard? Stupid but on newegg on some of the reviews their...

Ok quick question I have you have G.SKILL Extreme Series 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 500 (PC 4000) Unbuffered Dual Channel But don't most motherboards right now only took DDR 400 for AMD mobo's and DDR2 for Intel. Is this an AMD board and can that motherboard and other AMD's take that...
