I'm building this computer for my dad, he needs a solaris based server to run oracle and other db software, and buying one from sun is a bit expensive. So far it seems that all certified mobos are discontinued. Anyone know of a newer in stock mobo that has the same chipset as ASUS A8N32-SLI or...
Yeah, that was the link I used.. I wasn't sure if I have to just replace the mobo because that seems to be the only thing being incompatible. If I just switch out my DFI for something like Gigabyte GA-K8U-939 (listed as certified), do you think my PC will boot or do I have to switch out more...
Hi guys, I have an old PC that I'm trying to make Solaris 10 compatible. I'm thinking all I need to do is swap out the old mobo and get one that is compliant.
Right now it has:
DFI Infinity RS482
Athlon 3500+
200 GB SATA150 Maxtor HD
Can anyone who runs solaris confirm this?

Hmm.. this is gonna be a bit over, but at least i'm getting a good system at a good deal right? final revision.
Moniter: 300 - Soyo 24"
-i think the +$80 is worth it considering this moniter is so cheap and should be good quality. screen size is important to me
PC Case: 40 -...
Actually I'm debating whether to try and get a cracked version, but home premium, or stick with xp :p 100-200 seems alot to pay over xp which i already have.
So this is what I have right now.. it'll cost 1000-1100 and should handle crysis on medium settings or high with some gpu upgrades.
Moniter: 300 - Soyo 24"
PC Case: 40 - Coolmaster RC 690
PSU: 72 - Corsair VX550

I'm kinda torn between x2 4200+ Brisbane and e2140 Allendale right now. The e2140 has better OC potential but requires a better mobo, while the 4200+ is hassle free and should be cheaper overall with the mobo. Is the extra performance worth the OC hassle with the e2140?
Hi guys, I'm looking for a mid-range pc build capable of playing bioshock/crysis at decent levels with a $1000 budget. Here is my build so far.

Yeah I figured that XM for me would be a bit of an overkill. So right now I'm down to B-Inspirer/Inferno vs. M-Audio 5.1 vs. M-Audio 2496. Is there any real difference in sound quality between the 3?
Hi all, I'm looking to get a good sound card to replace my integrated Realtek '97 audio. I listen to music and play movies only and my speakers are Kpilsch Promedia 2.1s. After some research it seemed that Inferno, X-Fi Music, and X-Meridian are the top choices. What do you seasoned pros...
Hi, I'm looking to buy a new USB headset for my PC so I can get good sound and comfort. it will be for gaming and music. Can anyone recommend some good headsets that are good value?
I was thinking of getting the Logitech Premium USB Headset 350.
Cost of 1 gb RAM: $100.
Cost of difference in Cards: $250.
8800 GTS is the obvious choice if the price isn't a factor for you, since the value is $150 greater. I recommend getting 8800 GTS + 1 GB ram then sticking in another GB when you need it. Plus it's much easier to upgrade RAM than...
What is the temperature of the core on your setup? I think I got mine stable at a max of 230x11 at 1.55v (any lower voltage and prime reports errors after a few minutes). The problem is, speedfan reports core temps spiking up to 60 C during prime testing. Is this dangerous?
I've found that max FSB is directly related to the Vcore Voltage. Do you think 1.6 would damage my CPU? I'm using air cooling with fairly good circulation.
Also, I hope underclocking memory frequency won't affect performance drastically, because I can't get it to run at exactly 200 mhz...
My mobo is DFI Infinity RS482, PSU is Antec UltraQuiet 350W. HTT multiplier as I said earlier is 4x. Memory timings are at default 3,2,2,5
I've set the divider so that memory frequency is as low as 122.7, but it is still not prime stable. In fact, I don't even think I can get 2.6 ghz...
I've heard that A64 3500+ Venice should be able to do 2.7 ghz easily, but mine gets an error on Prime95 on startup and is not stable.
My settings are: 245 FSB, 11 CPU Multi, 4x LDT, 4/5 Memory Divider, 1.55 Vcore
Memory is 2x 1gb dual channel Corsair ValueRAM DDR400
Everything else is...
I think I'll get the X850XT since it's $20 cheaper and can be overclocked to a PE. I do have two concerns however- do I need a cooling solution for this card? Because I heard it runs very hot and loud, and I only have one pcix16 slot on my mobo so I might not be able to fit a cooling solution...
Hi, I just bought a system with the following specs:
A64 3500+
Infinity RS482 Mobo
2GB DDR400 Memory - Dual Channel
200GB SATA150 Hard drive 7200rpm, 8MB cache
It is currently running on an integrated ATI Xpress1150 GPU..
What graphics card would you recommend for the system at...
