http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Sapphire.html Has it listed for early September, not familiar with Sapphire launches so dunno if that means North America will get it before or after. Is DFI doing a Halibut board? I gathered they were only doing a Grouper. Maybe they will do a Halibut...

I think it depends on what you?ll be doing with the system. If it?s a decision based on gaming it still depends on what games you?ll be playing. I have a 7800gtx /A64 3200+, I upgraded from a 6800gt. I saw a nice performance boost in all my games (BF2, GTR, rFactor demo, WoW, EQ2, Madden05...

I was considering going back to DSL with SBC?s $14.95/mo offer. But getting the line provisioned the 1st time was difficult and it looked like I was gonna have to go thru the same bologna again. Comcast rep offered me 6mos for $29.99 and 10 seconds of awkward silence raised the offer to...

Exclusive rights to use NFL teams, stadiums and players in its football video games from 2005 until 2009. Hard to compete when you got fictitious players and teams. I wouldn?t mind as long as the game was able to be mod?ed. But not gonna sell many copies off the shelf in the shadow of McNabb...

I just ordered the 9npa+ultra. I plan on using my XP90 which is an awesome cooler. One end of the cooler has some overhang from the cpu socket, I have it over my ram on my current board and plan on the same with the Epox. The heatsink fins are elevated quite a bit so I don?t think it would even...

huh only thing I can think of to try is to update the BIOS. I've run 3 so far and they all have been fine. Running the official 6/13 now. http://www.dfi.com.tw/Support/Download/...?PRODUCT_ID=3510&STATUS_FLAG=A&SITE=US

edit: n/m haven't had my coffee :)

My DAGF installed Windiws fine on SATA channel 1. Is your power supply 24 pin?

Thanks for the mini-review. Nice to see some feedback with something other than a $600-800 cpu in the mix. edit: btw there's a command line FPS string, I forget what it is atm but if you look around you can find it

Yeah it's crazy how that video playback bug got past Q&A for an official driver and they haven't bothered to release an updated one. But it's easily fixed in settings. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=52483

Lol most people would call the 555?s junk? Most people /= 1% of elitist snobs in the audiophile world. Far from top of the line but pretty great sound for $100-150. Here?s a nice review of several sets: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=78470 Anyways was just relaying my...

I bought a pair of Sennheiser 545?s a few years ago that were refurbs. Got a great deal on em, under $100, totally fine. I figured they got tested more thoroughly from Sennheiser than a new pair ever did. Last week I got a new pair of HD555?s. My 545?s are still going strong but the 555?s...

Oh thought you had your mind made up on the DFI and wanted info on the best ram and HSF for the Ultra-D...

There were complaints of backlighting issues with the A00?s. I don?t think you could get an A00 now even if you tried unless it was a refurb. I?ve had my A01 for a few months and love it.

What kinda of cooling do you have for your CPU and what temps are you seeing? Some Venices are better than others depending on what batch you got and luck. Mine is stable up to 2.5 with stock cpu voltage with an XP-90 cooler.
