Any current promo codes available for TechNet Pro? Hoping the days of 25% off TechNet are not dead for some reason .... Anyone?

Hell yes. Took advantage of this for my HTPC build. BOO YAA!

Word. Anyone find any new codes? Haven't seen anything for a while.

Same here ... searching around looking for a Technet Professional promo code and not finding jack that works. Called and asked, and they wouldn't hook it up. Anyone?

Shoot the parents. No, no, not really. It just infuriates me when parents are this friggin stupid. Yeah, GTA is really a great game to let a 6 year old play. And let's not bother getting up with the kid and making him breakfast and getting him ready for school. Real parents of the...

Well, this POS is dead again. Won't even boot with a single DIMM. Deader than a doornail I guess.

Oh, but all the Mactards used to say that marketshare was irrelevant. Windows security just sucked, while Mac security was so superior. Well, Windows security did suck (much improved now), while Mac security apparently STILL sucks.

Figured it out from some other posts. I love this forum. Needed to go single DIMM. I have 6GB (2x2GB and 2x1GB). Oddly enough I had to use one of my 2GB DIMMs, as the 1GB DIMMs wouldn't POST. Was able to POST with a single 2GB DIMM in there, go in to the BIOS, bump the voltage to 1.9v...

Hey all - I have a home built system with a MSI P6N SLI, Core 2 Duo E6300, 6GB 800MHz OCZ RAM, ATI Radeon X800XL, 2 hard drives, bla bla bla. I haven't gotten to use the system in a couple of weeks, and now it refuses to start up at all. I mean, you press the power switch and nothing...

<flame war>The 360 ... you mean the system that was released a year earlier than the PS3, at a lower price point, has a larger install base, a larger game library, and real online play? That 360?</flame war> Apologies to the mods. From a technical perspective, can you explain to me why the...

Well, that response from MS is PR crap. They don't want to detract from Vista momentum in the marketplace by saying that another version of Windows is right around the corner. Obviously "7" is further along than planning stages, since screenshots from the first Milestone 1 build abound on the...

Check the Asus support forums. This board looks to be useless when trying to run 4 sticks. Also, from what I have read, the 0505 BIOS is an unstable piece of junk, and people seem to recommend 0401.

Hoping someone can help me with this issue. I got my new P5N-E SLI back after I RMA'd my first board. This one came with BIOS 0401 preinstalled. I installed it in my case, set everything up in the BIOS, installed Windows Vista, tested everything out, and it seemed to be running smoothly...

Any thoughts on this? I have read that the 0505 BIOS which I am currently using, may not be the most stable. Is that true? Is 0404 better for P5N-E SLI?

I am having issues with sleep mode and my P5N-E SLI and cannot figure out why the hell it is doing this. It will go into S3 fine, now that I switched the USBPW1-4, USBPW5-8, and KBPWR jumpers on the board to +5VSB, before it wouldn't even go into sleep successfully. But it won't come back out...

Actually, I thought the 6800 had some issues with PureVideo, and that the 6600 was actually the better card in the 6x00 series for video output.

Actually he will. He clearly stated ... "I won't be buying anymore Windows based games"

You'll be missing out on a lot of games then ...

But the "full-feature set" that you are talking about in XP is nothing compared to the "full-featured" Vista. Everything I have heard so far says that Vista will offer an XP comparable experience on similar hardware. Yes, the hardware requirements for the 3D rendered, vector driven desktop...

politically correct statements are gay

Contradictory here ... first it's the complaints about the people who have no use for the advanced features in Vista, then the complaints that Microsoft will offer cut down versions at lower prices than Ultimate. Which is it? You just explained exactly why Microsoft will offer versions like...

Whaaaaaaaa? Decoding 1920x1080 h.264 on an Athlon XP? My understanding was that the sheer power required to decode would make most any modern general-purpose CPU buckle regardless of the platform it is running on. Dedicated graphics hardware is made for that stuff, hence the benefit of R520.

Then you don't know much about Vista. Don't believe the hype ... there is far more to Vista than that. Little things like WinFX (Avalon, Indigo, Windows Workflow), Monad command shell, Metro document format, full-volume encryption, user account protection, Sidebar/gadgets, enhanced IE7 with...

Seriously I thought it meant "quite f---in true" up until now ... i think i like it better that way. :D

LOL ... 0wned. :D

Grrrr, not available near me. Oh well, still a good deal by OP.

That is [I]nsane. I would love to own one of those. Damn... :eek: Does anyone know for a fact that the 9300 and XPS Gen2 share screens?

Exactly! Does ANYONE actually know if the PCI-e x1 slots on current mobos, or god forbid the x4 slot on my A8N-E, even work?? I don't know that I've ever even seen a review for a non-graphics PCI-e add-in board using x1 or x4 slots!! It could be a conspiracy to make people think they buying...

XP-90 ownz you. Best cooler I've ever had... Keeps my 3200+ Winnie at 2.4 nice and cool.

:rolleyes:

Well, I guess if you are still willing to screw Monarch, or their customers, then just keep calling different reps until someone will break their policy and give you want you want.

You already know the answer apparently... you just aren't happy with it.

So you asked a question about something that you tacitly acknowledged was wrong, then you get defensive when people say it's wrong and don't do it. If you don't want opinions, then don't ask. I repeat:

So you know it's wrong, but you'll do it anyway. Nice. You got to love today's society where everyone must have what they want NOW. Instant gratification. Here's an idea... live with the purchase you made, save up the extra $150 over the next month or three, then buy another card WHEN YOU...

Bullshit... you ARE being shady then. If you've been around at all in the hardware community, you know exactly how it works. You pay the premium for buying early. I paid $299 for my X800 XL when it came out, and it dropped $50 pretty quick. BFD. I was building a system and got the card I...

That thing is a piece of shit. Ours doesn't even hold a charge anymore, and isn't that old.

I thought X700XT was flat out cancelled a while back and replaced by X800 vanilla

Doesn't anyone question what they read anymore? Does everyone just get sucked in by the hype? Doesn't anyone understand that this is all a cover for Nvidia? They disabled half the pipes, man! It's not 256-pipes, it's 512 F@@IN pipes! They posted a screenshot of 22,000 3dMarks, but it will...

Socket M2 - Athlon 64, FX, Opteron 100 - 940 pins Socket F - Opteron 200, 800 - 1207 pins

The way you spell, it sure seems like you're speaking a foreign language. So AMD has a new socket for Opteron. What's the big deal? Why start a thread with the attitude? Why not start with some constructive comments and/or information?
