Thanks, I just got this . Bob

Phenom II X4 965 3.4ghz 16 megs dual monitors 1920x1200, 23" 250 Watt psu not doing any gaming. As for budget, $ 75-100 is fine if it extends life for 3 yrs. But is that realistic?

I have a 6-7 yr old sys. with : GA-970A-D3 (rev. 3.0) MB Considering updating video card as Win 10 does not like my old one. Photoshop is the only thing demanding I do beyond surfing web. All the new cards are unknown to me, - Is update worthwhile? - What to get? Thanks Bob

The image is a backup by WHS VR1 in whatever format it uses.I can restore the whole c drive and then have it search it I guess. Bob

I lost the key for a 3 user version. I do however have a backed up image of two systems that have it installed. Both have bugs and had to be reinstalled and now I need the key. MS help desk says I will need third party sw for this and did not want to talk more. So what is up ,is it out there...

I am looking for a fan for several heat sinks I have around. I am building a system on the Gigabyte GA 970A-D3 G Skills Ram and Phenom II x4 965 BE. The stock heatsink is nice but the fan is a joke. I acumilated several big heat pipe coolers over the years looking for one to fit a HTPC build...

Just got the only one offered by new egg, ASROCK Install today.

Thanks for the helpful replies. I see I can put off an upgrade till I see I need it. Also, 64 bit Vista was said to be a hassle with little real benifit to most folks. Has that changed with Win 7? Also, can I upgrade to win 7 64 bit later without having to reinstall everything? Bob

I have a Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3 with a 4800X2 and 4 g 800 speed Ram. I've been running XP but am upgrading to Win 7. I was planning to upgrade the CPU to something like a Phenom II X3 720 2.8 GHZ, for $119 at New Egg, but I find it hard to judge the benifits. I use this for Photo editing...

Hot but quiet HTPC's. Just don't want to harm HDD. So, Monitor.

I have an HTPC and am trying to see how the Temps on the HDD are. I can't get any readings from SpeedFan v4.34. GA-MA69G-S3H MB Vista HP 2 WD HDD SMART shown as active on bootup. Turned on in bios. Is there some problem with MB or in the monitoring sw? I have had this problem for...

I have 2 stock AMD hs sitting around and am wondering if I could just put a 92mm fan on one and be better than just stock cooling. This would be for HTPC where noise is big issue. I like the large fan to cool other parts also. Surely some one has reported experience with this. Thanks, Bob

HDHomeRun is a network based product with dual tuners. You must have a wired 100-1000 lan. You can then watch live on two systems at different locations around the house. You could use BTV in the den and VMC in the bedroom at the same time. I have mine in the basement where the cable feed...

You can use the power. Its good for running commercial skip, different post processing task. I Overclocked a x2 4800+ to 2.9 to get rid of frame skipping. Solvers a lot of issues. Bob

I don't know what CC is and how it figures in. Enlighten me, so I can stay current. Also, where are you?

Not sure what your cable feed gives you, but comcast gives me a siginal I feed into an Aver 180 digital tuner and HDHomeRun dual digital tuner and get HD viewing. They give you a free PVR program, or you can use any number of alturnitives, including VMC. I get great over the air siginal and have...

I have cat 5 cables I installed 9-10 yr back. Are they an issue? I could up grade but its a lot of work. Also, reading has confused me about jumbo frames. I set every nic to largest possible. With mixed systems, is this best?

Well, I am riping straight to the WHS and taking 35min/ 8gigs. I rip from the source sys and the save target is WHS drive. I will try that

The source sys. is running Vista-SP1. I guess I am ripping over the network. The save for the rip on the Vista sys. is the drive on the WHS. 2 mos. back, pre sp1 and Intel NIC, it took 12 hrs to transfer 250 gigs. I read others were having slow transfers that were solved with this card...

I am copying DVDs to my WHServer. I have a Gigabyte lan and it takes 35 min to rip each movie. I check network utilization and its at 3-4%. Where is my bottleneck? source: GA-MA69G-S3H MB x2 4800 2gigs RAM onboard gigabyte lan Vista- sp1 NETGEAR 8 port gigabyte switch WHS MSI 939...

I have a dead Sapphire HD3450. I got it from Newegg but don't have box, so they won't help. I get no response from links on Sapphire's site for RMA. So, is the 2 yr warenty now a catch-22. Any ideas??

I looked at the specs of systems being used for home servers at Lime Tech for unRaid and on AVS fourm. I now see they are using PROMISE SATA300 TX4, PCI card.($54.99 at New Egg) I guess the speed is not a bottleneck. I will get it when I run out of SATA connections. Thanks for help, Bob

I was outbid for the mb on eBay. Glad of it. Thanks for the info. I think I will build new sys.

I have a bid in, at Ebay, on a Asus mATX 939 MB (A8N-VM nVidia GF 6100 )with 2 sata and 2 ide connections. It has pci and pcie1 available. I don't think I need Raid, but if $50 is what 4 additional sata connections cost, then my bid of $30 + 15 shipping is max. I happen to have an amd 939 3500+...

Are pci cards cheaper?

I am looking at several 939 mb to use at home with WHS. Most have 2 sata connections and have open PCIe 1 or PCI slot. I have looked at New Egg for controllers and see prices all over the place and complaints about most of the cheap ones. Anyone have suggestions for a $15-30 card that would...

I like the Zallman and it will work and cool everything. I've just got to get by the price. I adjusted voltages and cut back to 2.8; temp dropped to 62C max and 56-58C most of time under load. Do I need a cooler now? BTW, this stock cooler runs at 3100rpm all the time. I thought it was...

I tried moving memory to # 3&4, but mb won't boot that way. So, I need diameter of under70-75mm about 35mm above base. From the memory to capacitors, across the cpu is 90mm, but it is a little off center. That seems to be limiting spot for all but tower coolers.

I need a Fan & HS for my HTPC that will fit this MB. I've ordered 2 from Newegg and no luck. I need a better selection process. Anyone have experence with this MB. My case will only allow about 110mm height, fan and all. So tower cooler coolers are out. I need to over clock my amx2 4800 to 3.0...

I just noticed your video card should be fine. The dual antilog/digital tuners are better known as combo tuner cards.

Get a digital HDTV tuner that is qam compliant and you can hook it up directly to the cable outlet and get basic channels with no STB. I just got a Silicondust HDHomerun dual tuner. It takes little cpu power,but needs a good gpu on video card. You will need, say ,ATI2600 card, or nvida...
