Here's hoping that when I get some money in May-June timeframe there will be a new GeForce out as well, so I can horn in on one of those Dell uber-deals.

Yep. Also, by the time that games can use quad they will need 4-5GHz not puny 2.4GHz, so you'll have to upgrade anyway. Might as well enjoy the thing you bought RIGHT NOW. :o

Like always, Logitech makes great hardware but shit software.

Target has them for $80 I think. That's where I got my work to purchase one for me. :) They are also the newer Blue/Carbon-Fiber-Looking models.

I put myself on the mailing list, because I'm mostly curious about specs and pricing. If it's a better deal than the upper trims for the XPS 420, I think it would be nicer (I like the styling).

Tom's Hardware (better than OC workbench) did a review of the 848P chipset, looking at an Asus board.

I couldn't find the IC7 going for less than $130. Hardly cheap. :eek:

The 848P is a single channel Intel chipset by the way. It supposedly benchmarks about the same as an 865PE in single channel mode (ie one DIMM only, or in the non-dual channel configuration) according to some web pages I found through googling (OC Workbench was one, I know, not exactly HardOCP...

ECS 865PE - $61 AOpen 865PE - $69.50 Albatron 865PE Pro - $68.50 MSI 848P - $61.50 EPoX 848P - $55

No, you're wrong. I've seen 865PE boards going for $50 to $70, and 848P for $30-$50. I am not going to have anything to do with SiS or VIA boards.

I posted that I don't care about the extra performance, and prefer stability and compatibility. I'm not sure why you are recommending a motherboard chipset that consistently says that you need exactly matching RAM DIMMs, unless you have experience that these boards actually work fine with non...

Hi, I'm looking to replace my crappy Abit VI7 (VIA PT800) mobo and have one stick of Corsair XMS PC3200 CL2, and one stick of Kingston PC3200 CL2.5. I was wondering what you may recommend as a replacement that will jibe well with my new ATI Radeon 9800 Pro & I have one SATA HD. I'm on a very...

Oh yeah, they've been selling DDR2 at Fry's for quite a while now...

Can you please switch from "dBpowerAMP" to Exact Audio Copy? This is what most quality-obsessed CD ripping is done in, AFAIK.

jeez what's with companies using crappy northbridge coolers anyway

try bumping the voltage up until it's stable at ddr400 the corsair ppl said you gotta do 2.7 to get the spec timings (2-3-6-3) for the pc3200c2

All I'm gonna say is that I'm pretty freakin' happy with my Ti4400 128MB. I run Final Fantasy XI great now that I upgraded my 1900+ to a Pentium 4 2.8 GHz system with DDR400 (what a difference!!). Maybe the Radeon 9600's are great shit in DX9 but there aren't many DX9 games out right now... If...

yuck I have a 19" monitor and I run 1024x768 @ 100 Hz. Not only is the refresh nice on my eyes, but the screen icons and elements are all large so that I don't have to sit freakin' close to the monitor.

Upped the voltage to 2.7 volts on the suggestion of "RAM Guy" in the Corsair forums, switched to 2-3-6-3 timing at DDR400. Turns out most people have problems with the RAM because you really have to be careful putting the DIMMs into the slots (otherwise they won't fully connect) and also DIMM...

Any of the PT800 chipset boards are inexpensive. The Abit VI7 is what I got, and I'm pretty satisfied with it. The onboard audio was hissy, so I put my SB Live! in it, and the memory needed to be boosted from 2.60 volts default up to 2.65 to get the tight timings (2-3-6-3) at DDR400 (I have...
