Hi -- I haven't really kept up w/ the latest and greatest in hardware for a while (since 2007 pretty much), but I'm thinking about making the following changes to my setup: E6300 @ Stock speeds (was stable at 2.8ish for a while) --> i7-920 Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 (rev. 1.0) --> MSI X58M...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813121035 Cheapest P965 board I've seen yet actually in stock...haven't really seen much about this board. Wonder what kind of OC options it will have being Intel's own basic 965 board.

http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=247083 Wow, if they sell it for that price, count me in. I was literally checking out with a GA-965P-DS3 at Newegg when it came up OOS. May wait now to see what comes out of this...

Just recently (not sure exactly when, but within the last couple of days) Windows pretty much suddenly stopped detecting my optical drives (one NEC ND-3500A DVD burner and 1 Samsung DVD-ROM). I can see them fine in the device manager (and obviously in BIOS), but when I click properties the...

Hey everyone, I am currently putting together a new mid-range Conroe box to replace my socket 754 A64. So far I have the following pretty much penciled in: Antec Super Lanboy Case (have) Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 (preordered) 2x1 GB OCZ PC2-6400 DDR2 (800 MHz) (have) 2x250 GB WD SATA HDs...

I didn't even see this in the Conroe Motherboard thread: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128012 http://tw.giga-byte.com/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2314&ProductName=GA-965P-DS3 Basically a single PCI-express slot version of the DS4? I'm...

Maybe not that hot, but a good deal none-the-less: WD2500JS http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=101220-11

Sorry to start a new thread, I thought maybe getting a seperate thread to discuss release dates was fine since the other was discussing performance. Anyway - I had been thinking that Conroe would catch Intel up to AMD, but I never thought it would simply leapfrog them. I am going away to...

I've seen all the speculation that the iPod is in for a redesign, and that has got to be what Apple's recent touch-sensitive screen patent was for. People have also suggested that their next big product will be a new Macbook set to replace the 12" iBook/Powerbook and have tablet functionality...

http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&oc=e1505s2&s=dhs Then the $35 off coupon (which I believe expires today). Not a bad deal...considering other Core Duo laptops are running $500-1500 more than this. And the retail price is only $979.

Dell EPP: http://dealsea.com/exec/j/2/?http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=2235&eep_orig_cs=2236&fb=1&l=en&oc=R4152A4 Change the HD to 40 GB, change it to No Productivity Suite, 90 day warranty, and no security subscription. Pretty good deal, no?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824163130 Just stumbled upon this, so if it was posted earlier I missed it. No DVI but still would be great for a basic system as I know there are plenty of people here that build systems regularly for others. About the cheapest I've...

I'm looking for some advice. Next fall, I'll be leaving for upstate NY from MD (Cornell) to pursue a computer engineering degree, and I'm starting to get ready. Anyway - I originally thought I'd just get a really nice, powerful laptop to use for everything. But for the past few months, I...

The Hitachi 7k80 (bought after reading good things about it on here) that I just put in a new comp. for my parents makes a clicking noise (not loud, but noticeable from the Antec ARIA case that sits right next to you on the desk when using it) whenever its loading or writing...its been up for...

Ok - I originally posted this in the vid card section asking about a video setup, but I am building a new computer for my dad since his 1.4 GHz Williamette with 384 MB of RD800 is starting to show its age (hehe). This is what I have so far: Asus A8N-VM CSM w/ integrated GF 6150 and HD audio...

I am in the process of coming up with the parts for a new build for my dad (he's still on a 1.4 GHz Williamette w/ 384 MB of RD800). This is what I've come up with so far: AMD A64 3700+ San Diego Biostar TForce4U s939 NF4 Ultra 2x1 GB Corsair Value Select NEC ND3550A Seagate 160 GB 3...

I just recently ordered a 2005FPW for my own comp (A64 3000+, 6800 GT, 1 GB DDR400), and now my dad wants one as well. His computer, however, is just about ancient, with a Williamette P4 1.4 GHz, 384 MB RDRAM, and a Radeon 9000 video card (it actually came with a TNT2 32 MB and only 128 MB of...

Here's a 40% off coupon for them: MXKW6GPG$8F0B3 Plus use the $35 off $300 coupon and you get $204...they are around $290 shipped at Newegg, didn't check elsewhere.

I have the PC2700 in physical DIMM 1, and the PC3200 in physical DIMM 2. The computer will only recognize the PC3200. Is this a sign that they just won't run together, or what?

First off, specs: Chaintech VNF3-250 A64 3000+ 754 512 MB Corsair XMS DDR333 eVGA 6800 GT Anyway, I just got 512 MB of Corsair XMS Platinum series DDR400 today (the 400 was actually $21 less than the stick identical to mine). Anyway, after installing it, I rebooted and it still only...

My Albatron 845PEV Pro board recently died - that's another story. Anyway, I ordered a Chaintech VNF3-250 to replace it, and, believe it or not, I cannot for the life of me get any stick of RAM to push into any one of the three slots. I first started with a 512 MB double-sided stick of...

My P4 2.4B + 845PE recently died (incredibly strange - but thats another story) - anyway, I'm looking into possibly getting a cheap, sub-$250 A64 setup (mobo/cpu). The 2800+ NewCastle retail is $141 at Newegg, but I really haven't kept up with A64 chipsets or motherboards. What could you...

Wow, never knew this would work on a card that runs as hot as the 6800s do: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=14-125-142&DEPA=0 Anyone have any info/temps/benchies on this card? I'd be very interested...

Anyone ever heard of either of these companies? I need to upgrade my XMS DDR333 from 512 MB to 1024, and I was looking at one of these two sticks (the XMS is $125, a ripoff in my opinion): PDP SYSTEMS Memory 184-Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200, Model PEP5123200LL - Retail...

About 10 days ago I got my eVGA 6800 GT from Newegg - I now have it overclocked at 400/1100 and it runs 54C idle and 83 C under full load (rthdribl running at 1200x800, nearly full-screen). I've seen in the other thread that some people use profiles to OC the card when gaming and downclock it...

I used to have a Leadtek Ti 4400 - just an hour ago FedEx delivered my MSI 6800nu and I was so excited - I immediately installed it in my machine and booted. As soon as the first screen came up, the visual quality sucked - I'm not sure if this was qualifies for artifacting or what - but the...

I have an Albatron PX45PEV Pro - built my machine a couple years ago (right when the 845PE came out and DDR333 was "fast") - anyway, I used a 512 MB stick of Corsair XMS DDR333 which runs at 2-3-3-6 and is slightly OCed to 181 MHz. Anyway, I'm upgrading my system to make it last for a couple...

Hi, I have recently decided that its time to upgrade my video card - I currently have a Leadtek Ti 4400 and score 1775 in 3dMark03 and feel like I'm at a major disadvantage trying to play Doom 3 competitively. I was deciding between overclocking the MSI 9800 Pro or a 6800nu. I need this...
