Hi guys, tried doing some research and haven't found much yet. But I have a laptop and it can only hold a single drive. I plan on upgrading my SSD in my main RIG this year and I'm thinking of putting my Intel X25 80GB in my laptop. This would be fine and probably would enough for my space...

Yeah, that's just the thing. I probably should wait, but I'm having a hard time waiting anymore =P. I only have a laptop, so I don't currently have any ram. And I thought from what I was reading the other day, DDR3 really doesn't show any real significant performance increases. If I read right.

Yeah, didn't notice the DDR3 with that. How about the GIGABYTE GA-X38-DS4. It uses DDR2 and I've always had good luck with Gigabyte as a brand.

ahhh... I didn't know about the X38. I was only looking at the 780i boards. How about the Intel BOXDX38BT board? I say I don't care about OC'n, mainly cause I don't like messing with it. Guess I can't say I won't do it though. But hmm. I guess I could spend about that price for an X38...

I've been without a system now for about 2 years, only getting by on my laptop =( And I've been waiting for the 45nm, since I kept telling myself that I've waited this long, might as well wait some more. But now with AMD doing horrible and Intel deciding to wait off releasing more models of...

I should have said, I'm most likely going with a 680i board, most likely the evga. I don't have to go with that ram, I just knew it had good chipset and the evga mobo liked it. Trust me, I'd rather go with cheaper ram. And cheaper anything that I can get away with =P

I'm going to be upgrading really soon, especially since I just got my tax return today =D And I'm having a trouble finding information, if the extra cache the E6600 has really helps or not. I've heard people say it makes all the difference and others say you'll never notice. I'd even consider...

Riiiight :rolleyes: And you can get a Seagate 320gig $89.99 from newegg, free shipping.

Thanks. It's just cause it was a rez that I really didn't recognize. And I wanted to make sure it'd be fine, cause from what I've looked around the net, most 22" and 20.1" can cost around the same price. So yeah, I'd rather have a bigger screen if the cost is the same =P I'm looking at the...

Nah, sorry. Should have been more specific. I meant is that a streched rez, as in, if the image is stretched. Sorry if that makes no sense, makes sense in my head =\ Kinda like on a widescreen tv, when you take normal cable broadcasting and you can use an option and strech the image to fit...

I've noticed on all(most) of the 22"s out on the market, they have a 1680 x 1050 rez. Is that a stretched rez or not, cause I can't remember. I have dual 19"s LCDs right now, but I'm looking at getting rid of one and gettinga widescreen and thought I might as well get something a lil...

What size you looking at getting? But I think a Seagate Baracuda or Hitachi Deskstar are getting good ratings right now. And it's the same. SATA is serial ATA, cause you have SATA and PATA, drives.

Thanks. What I figured, but just wanted to see what others thought/knew about the matter. And XBarbarian, awesome. I have a 37" Westy, mainly used for my 360/Wii, like to use with my PC, but don't know if I'll ever buy a vid card really capable of pushing good performance with it. For I'd...

I'm wondering, since I haven't really followed everything that's been going on in the PC world for almost a year now, is the need of kilowatt PSUs. When does it become a need for one? When your running high end Processors and using SLi or Crossfire? Usually when I build a PC, mine are...

Yeah, I think if I have the chance to upgrade soon, I will be going with the Intel Bad Axe II. You can get OEM around 200$$. Cause I really have no clue how much I'll be trying to OC or not, so just be best to get a good stable board with overclocking ability.

I guess I'm mis-understanding what your looking for or needing. If your wanting to dual screen and your card doesn't have two outputs, a cable like that will usually do that for you. I know at work, I've got some of our PCs setup with something like this, since the video card only has one DVI...

Okay. So you have your lappy and you want to hook two other LCDs to it. http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10113&cs_id=1011304&p_id=2518&seq=1&format=2&style= This is for DVI, but this site has one for VGA too. Not sure if that'd help you out or not.

Yeah. One thing I've noticed just now though is, only two boards have 8 Sata ports. The over priced Asus board and the DFI board. Even though, I'll be turning my spare parts into a secondary and won't need to keep all my hdd in one system, just kinda sucks that most only have 4 if lucky.

Thanks. I'll look into it. With my schedule lately, I haven't been able to look to much. I just don't know if it's really worth cutting corners when concerning a motherboard. =\

Sorry guys, if this has been discussed already. But I'm looking to upgrade soon. I can't decide if I'll SLi/Crossfire or not, but I'm waiting for the 8600 or ATI equivalent. But, with the motherboard prices I've seen for the best Conroe motherboard on the market, 200$+ is kinda steep for me...

Dang. So MSDNA is only going to get business. Dang. Guess I'm stuck with that until I can afford ultimate =(

I have no clue why, but I decided to try out the 64bit Vista business, since of classes I recieved from MSNDA. But, I installed GW and it runs fine. I have read that video card performances drop with vista right now, cause of drivers.

Hey everyone. Sorry if this topic has been discussed, couldn't find it anywhere. But my question is, has anyone heard when we'll start seeing boards shipped with PCI-Express 2.0. I remember reading the specs off of Tomshardware.com but can't remember reading about a release to the market...
