I am looking for change from an Intel systel to AMD and I have read about some issues with Nforce motherboards and the 6800 AGP video card. Do these issues still exist on Nforce 4 boards or is it better to go with a VIA board like an Abit AV8?

I have currently got an Abit IC7 MB but the one of the DIMM sockets is fault so I need to replace the board. I can't afford to upgrade my system to PCI-X just yet so I need another 478 board. I would love to buy another Abit but I can't get hold of another Abit in the UK at the moment as most...

I just this wonderful piece of kit and having no problems so far, expect the AutoAdjust menu is grayed out. I know the autoadjust button does not work in DVI mode but according to the user guide you can autoadjust by going into the menu itself. Am I missing something? Thanks.

I current have a MS Natural keyboard Pro and Intellimouse Explorer 3 and while I am happy with them both, they are bit long in the tooth so it is about time I upgraded. From what I have read, the Logitec MX1000 and MX518 and the Diamond Razorback Plasma seem to the be the favorites for Mice...
