Anothr great guide with all the basics is here: The 165 is truely remarkable, really the first chip that put the same smile on my face as my ancient OC experience with the 300A to 450 that led so many of into the world of overclocking. I am running 2.61 with the stock HSF. I have an EXOS but...

No matter what you think about business tactics, how much of an armchair "hard ass businessman" you are or how much of an Nvidia fan-boi you are, the point is it sucks for the consumer to have ULI chipsets gone, they weren't just a temporary ATI Southbridge solution. I have a ULI chipset Asrock...

I have to sit myself firmly in the dual core camp, although I do know a person or two who think a PC is a gaming machine with surfing, Email and IM, for most of us it is far more than that. I recently upgraded my main PC from a P4 Northwood 3.2 @3.6 to an Opteron 165 @ 2.4, the upgrade meant my...

Definite CPU. I have a Sapphire X1800 XT 256MB, I get 8835 with my Opteron 165 @ 2.47 and that is with the card at stock clocks. I just got the mobo, CPU and card and I still have lots of tweaking yet to do. My old setup was a P4 3.2 @3.6 with an X800 XT PE and it would just hit 6000 with the...

My 3200+ powered HTPC, I am upgrading my main rig to a dual core Opteron so my HTPC is getting my the P4C800E Deluxe and 3.2 @3.6 P4 from my current main rig.

In your Creative speaker settings you must check "digital output only" and in Creative Audio HQ Device Control check "SPDIF Pass thru". Any DVD player must be configured for SPDIF pass through also, in Power DVD it is configuration, audio tab, use SPDIF. I never could get WMP player to work for...

Funny, the X800 XT PE that has been in my system since mid-June seems very real to me.

Hmmm, the benches I saw shows the XT PE beating the 6800 Ultra in COD and running COD at 1600x1200, RTCW at 2048x1536 both with 16x/4x on my XT PE I have to say ATI's OpenGL drivers seem great to me.

Hmmm, E-penis? Don't think so. I believe most of us who post in here are by definition hardware enthusiasts, don't see the big deal about enthusiasts jumping at the chance to post the specs of the rigs we have lovingly assembled and for many of us, saved for. :)

I upgraded my CPU/mobo/memory in February and waited to upgrade my 9700Pro, luckily I was able to get hold of one of the Texas CompUSA XT PE cards. I am alll set for Doom III/HL2: P4 3.2 @3.6 EXOS CPU and Northbridge cooling P4C 800E Deluxe 1GB Mushkin 3500 Level 2 @2.5-3-3-8 2 WD...

I picked up the Roslyn PVR/Sage combo with one client. I am using it with my bedroom multimedia box, just swapped out an AIW 7500, Williamette 1.8 in 845 chipset board for my old main PC stuff, P4 2.4 Norrthwood @2.678 with 9700 Pro and added the tuner card. The swap went well, nice to know my...

I paid around 530.00 -- 500 + 6% tax, free shipping. Phone order CompUSA Mesquite Texas. I was alittle freaked out paying so much for a vidcard but coupled with my P4 3.2 @ 3.6 I am pretty freaking happy with the performance. :) I was running at 3.712 but have not been able to get that high...

Yeah, I got a call too. ;) Ha, I have an EXOS and new Antec Performance 1 case, I am going with CPU and Northbridge water cooingr to see if I can get my P4 3.2 above its current 3.712 on air cooling with a Zalman. About to a do test run of the cooling stuff and then will swap out into my...

My bad, I don't think the phone order #s work with the on-line system, they don't at other sites. I looked at my order number again and it was an old ship date, probably not even one of my orders. The charge did show up on my CC as an authorization I figure that is agood thing. I mean I...

Jeeze calm down, I just punched in the order # Steve gave me and my order has shipped. You ordered late on a Monday Afternoon and you are panicking Tuesday AM? Yeesh. Great info there Kyle, thanks!

Yup, I ordered one too late this afternoon EST, he said it should ship tomorrow. I should have it Thursday or Friday. I hope. ;) I so hope it ships, I upgraded my main rig to a P4 3.2 @3712 in Feb. and there has been no sensible upgrade path from my 9700 Pro untill the X800s became available...

One big bummer about Ecost, their shipping policy demands a signature, even though I have well trained UPS and FedEx guys I was not going to be in on the days the Shure E3c I ordered from Ecost arrived, they could not leave it because of Ecost's policy. I had to make a 40 mile round trip to pick...
