Who has the new September 30th, 2008 BIOS 5.18 for the M2N61-AR? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-65083-2&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=2093&product=3548659 Oh by the way I can confirm that the AMD Sempron 3800+ 2.2GHz works with the S3220n possibly with...

I wouldn't update the processor yet, wait until there is a BIOS release then look at the list for supported chips on your board.

This means that the HD3650 is better than a 8600GT in game, but with AA and/or AF enabled I think that the 8600GT is better or the same. I also think that the ATI Avivo for this card is better than the Nvidia PureVideo for the 8600T, but II will have the final say after all I will be the ginny...

Hi guys I will soon buy the 3650 and I will show you which one is better as I currently own a Chaintech 8600GT! I will give detailed stats. Things I will test FPS in games (COD4, MOHA, WIC) H.264 Encoding/Decoding/Transcoding/Playback/CPU USAGE AVC...

9300GE is slower than the 8600GT but the 9500GS is basically the same card, the 9500GS DDR2 512MB vs the 8600GT DDR2 512MB are exactly equal now the 9500GS DDR3 512MB vs the 8600GT 256MB DDR3 the 9500GS should win by a little they use the same chip after all the new 9500GS was just a HDMI...

aleicgrant, can you please tell me your Bios version... thanks...

Hi guys I just made a discovery I found out that the Galaxy 8600GT has no SPIDF header so there is no sound possible trough it and if your tv does not have HDMI with Audio ports then you will have to use alternative speakers (Which you should be using; on that huge TV!). Anyways I found out that...

Knowing how HP works... they should release a new BIOS rev with extra microcode support for the Irvine-GL6E hopefully within the next month or so. I guess if you find some one with the s3500t you could tell them to do a BIOS dump and then flash it onto your motherboard.

Hey guys I got a mechanical lead pencil scratch on my monitor which resembles a dead pixel but is actually like a puncture that didn't go trough (the size of a small needle head) I hadn't noticed it for months but I guess I just didn't see it. Is there any way to fix this? The depth of the...

Hardforum made the chaintech 8600GT famous check it out in the (NEW)egg. As far as I know I never had a power problem or freeze with my slimline running @ 4GB w/ X2 5000+ (B) 2.6Ghz/ Chaintech 8600GT and a Tuner Card. The only problem I encountered was when the tuner card with it on the back...

Which video card would be best for HD PLAYBACK on a 720p 50inch. I already have the LOW PROFILE HDMI brackets. MSI 8500GT DIAMOND HD3450 Mind you HD Playback(720p 50inch) no gaming whatsoever.

I overclocked the chaintech LP 8600GT with an A\C-5000BTU I got the temps really low.. very stable! O\CVSSTOCK Whoever has a 8600GT galaxy card can you please use GPUz(take screenshot) and compare the stock specs with the chaintech stock specs. Archea? how about you?

wow your right vfarri those scores are worser than onboard graphics... if money is tight than get a 8400GS. This one has HDMI and is some what cheap... DIAMOND HD3450

Lots of people will tell you to switch to HDMI but thats only if you want superior Digital Audio->>AFAIK LoL I dont have a big ol TV I still have my RCA TV 22inch 4:3. HDMI and DVI as of right now produce the same image quality however as of your problem I don't know much. Make sure your DVI...

Well It took nearly 3:30 Hours(3hours!)-Minutes to get this list... I checked every single product specification 1by1. The list of procs are all on HP SLIMLINE MODELS WITH THOSE BOARDS so they should work as long as you have the latest BIOS version on your board. For all those wondering I still...

No I do not have the galaxy card, but as soon I get the chaintech card back from RMA I will record it and then you will see what I mean. I only assume that the galaxy card would be more silent due to it's copper(?) heat sink. As you all know heat increases noise, and the RPM of the graphics card...

I forgot to mention that the chaintech card was really loud... I personally think that the galaxy is more silent than the chaintech one. It annoys you just when sit down to surf... almost like a jet engine...LOL But I get used to the noise almost like super powered sports car with a hemi.

Hello fellow hp slimmers I have noticed that many of you have questions regarding the HP slimline s3220n. I have wanted to answers all of the questions I can understand regarding the s3200n. However seeing as I don't log on much and don't like sorting trough Archaea tread I will make a separate...

Hi guys I would like to let everyone know that the may bios update for the M2N61-AR Motherboard works with all current AMD Socket AM2 market processors thare used with this motherboard!!!!! (PSU/VREGULATORS PERMITTING) I went to my PC shop and they tested the AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ 65W and it...

I agree that card seems a little overpriced.... but hey thats just me.

The same thing happened to me I guess it's a Fan Defect... but thankfully nothing happened to my card. By the way does anyone know were I can get a replacement? W/O having to RMA it... like a new fan and or heatsink. P.S. I HAD MASSIVE FRAME DROPS FROM 120FPS to 9-12FPS. Constant...

Ok I got the corect temps 35-45C Idle and 45-62C while gaming, encoding, and running stresstest. Boy this PSU get really hot. Leave your hand on the back for a couple of minutes and you will get burned!

It's definitely growing. People didn't like caring a 3-1/2 lb Ipod, the same with CRT monitors and now with the advent of multi-burners Id definitely say it's growing. The only thing we like big are TV's, monitors, and cars.

the.ronin where did you get those fans? I want em...

Lucky, mines are 47-51.

March 31, 2008 "...HP has added a new slim home desktop PC to its Pavilion lineup, and the machine happens to be powered by one of AMD's new B3-revision Phenom processors. Interestingly, HP didn't opt for the chipmaker's cheapest quad-core offering. The PC vendor instead chose the Phenom X4...

heat spreaders maybe?

Ooops... sorry dude I was confusing this card with the 8500GT... sorry :( but hey at first glance who would not get confused. 8500GT, 450/900/400, 16 Stream Processors, 128-bit, 512MB, GDDR2 VS the 8600GT, 540/1190/800, 32 Stream Processors, 128-bit, 512MB, GDDR2 If it works for the.ronin...

PC2-6400-800 @ 1.8V 240-pin DDR2. Any RAM of your flavor will be good. Just make sure if you get one with heatsinks that are small enough to fit in there. Also vista says it has 4.0GB but thats because of the SP1 update, technically you will have 3.0-3.5GB. And yeah 4GB will fit on this...

nope, no issues yet I got mine today and so far no speed bumps. But I am not going to upgrade my proc anymore unless it's a 45W. I am satisfied with the current speed I have.

For further reading tomshardware . Thanks any help appreciated guys.

Someone who bought the 5400+ on newegg claimed he owned the 5200+ and said that the 5400+ was noticeably faster. The link to the above reference is here at newegg

Which one of these would be better for mostly everything? Please keep in mind I will not be doing any overclocking! --- Windsor (90 nm SOI) * Athlon 64 X2 5200+ * CPU-Stepping: F3 * L1-Cache: 64 + 64 KiB (Data + Instructions), per core * L2-Cache: 1024 KiB fullspeed, per...

The chaintech card is back in stock! if anyone wants to order it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814145153&Tpk=low%2bprofile%2bvideo%2bcard

Yeah Archaea I agree with you that the AMD 45W should run any type of 8600GT at any configuration. I am assuming the 8500GT 512MB GDDR2 will take to much power because of the memory type and the amount. Again I don't know that much about PCs as I am studying meteorology and not pc hardware.

DDR2-256MB-30W ---> you should be fine with one of these DDR2-512MB-30W ---> nonono... for AMD(160W) slims. Maybe for Intel(180W) slims DDR3-256MB-30W ---> you should be perfect with this DDR3-*512MB*-30W ---> For AMD(160W) will work but if your game uses all of the 512MB there may be a shutdown...

Windows XP, and MAC OS? man I *like* this computer.

Thanks Ziggy, I will look into it. My s3220n has an "Asus M2N61-AR" or how HP calls it "Acacia-GL6E". As for my compaq it had actually had a compaq board lol! so it was not possible to flash the bios. Every attempted I made would result in a lock. As for my new pc it has a different board so...
