Thanks again enginurd. I'll post my purchase soon.....

Dangit enginurd, you got me thinking about the 8-phase power design of the P5B Deluxe! It might be worth the extra money to get it instead the P5B-E. Alright, I think this is going to be my final specs: Asus P5B Deluxe BFG Tech GeForce 7900GS 256MB G.SKILL F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ 2GB RAM (2 x...

Teach me oh wise enginurd! Thanks once again. I'll keep you posted on my final build....

Thanks for all of your help enginurd. It is VERY appreciated. Just one more question. I was sharing my findings with a coworker, and he is interested in the P5B deluxe so that he can run dual video cards and use 4 monitors. Video editors love their screen real estate. If the P5B DLX is...

Really? Cool. (I think someone's trying to nudge me towards a DS3 ;) ). If you think the DS3 is a better board more stable overall and that I'm better of getting one instead of the P5B-E, let me know and I'll get it instead and just get a PCI firewire card and an eSATA bracket. (I do like...

Thanks for the advice. I don't have a problem trying out the G. Skill. Just hadn't heard much about them. I think I'll give them a try. How's this config look to you: BFG Tech GeForce 7900GS 256MB OCZ GameXStream OCZ600GXSSLI ATX12V 600W Power Supply G.SKILL F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ 2GB RAM (2...

That's a great config. I wonder how this config would work in the Asus P5B-E? I'd like to get that board for the built in firewire and the external SATA connector. The only other concern I have is how reputable is the G.Skill Ram? If I did go the DS3 rote, all I would really need to add to...

What Ram are you running with your config?

My desktop PC recently died. I need to purchase some new components to get up and running again. I’ve been researching web sites and forums and have decided that I want to get the Intel Core Duo E6600 and the BFG Geforce 7950GT. I wanted the machine to be able to run Windows Vista with some...

Thanks for the information. Good recommendation for the PCI Firewire 800 card. On a 2nd note I was wondering if there was a cheaper alternative to the Crucial Ballistix PC2 6400 RAM? I'm leaning towards the Asus P5B-E. Just looking for good solid memory at a good price.... Thanks.

My trusty video editing system finally died the other day after 4 years of service. A P4 2.8 sytem w/ and Asus P4P800 Deluxe, Geforce 6800 (AGP), and 2 gigs of Corsair PC400. My CPU and Mobo bit the dust. Anyway... I'm in the market to build a new system. I'll probably salvage my old...

Anyone have any experience or opinions about the leadtek card? I'm hoping to make a purchase here soon. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm currently looking to purchase a vanilla 6800. I really like the game bundles that come w/ the Leadtek http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-122-193&depa=1 and the eVGA http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-130-202&depa=1 I know that nvidia...

Can anyone tell me the difference between the 2 slot gainward card and the single slot version? Is the only difference in the ram speed and the bigger cooler? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-128-193&depa=1...

Cool. Thanks for the response. Off I go to purchase.......

The msi 9800 pro is only a few bucks more and has a decent software package to boot. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-127-127&depa=1 Plus it's got a 9800xt core to boot..... http://www.overclockers.co.nz/ocnz/review.php?id=04vga00r9800promsi00000r9800pro0105

Great post jhtevans. You just helped me make my decision. I was trying to decide between the msi Radeon 9800 pro and this card. It looks like the msi 6800 is the winner. Just out of curiosity, are you running nvidia's reference drivers or msi's drivers? I'm not a big fan of manufacturer's...
