    I think I am fried

    Coach, Thanks a ton. I am writing down everything you just said for future ref but, as of now, I might be the most relieved guy on the face of the planet -- IT BOOTED! For some crazy reason, after about 15 mins of it sitting off, it finally booted. Holy crap I was literally frantic there for...

    I think I am fried

    Hello all. I am looking for some help or at lest some suggestions as to what to do next. I wasn't home at the time but my girlfriend told me that the power to the condo cut out and came right back on. She thinks the computer rebooted and then about 5 mins later there was another power outage. I...

    Need a stable E6600 board

    Description: 2GB 667MHz DDR2 Non-ECC CL5 DIMM (Kit of 2) Detailed Specifications: Standard 128M X 64 Non-ECC 667MHz 240-pin Unbuffered DIMM (SDRAM-DDR2, 1.8V, CL5) Given that description of the RAM I would say you are ready to rock. Again I am fairly sure that that warning is simply a...

    Need a stable E6600 board

    I am unsure about the answer to this question, but I think that, for all intents and purposes, there is no difference for what you are worried about. In other words there are significant differences in the RAM itself (otherwise it wouldn't be rated and named differently) but in terms of...

    Need a stable E6600 board

    Well, it seems that based on the initial findings of Anandtech's mATX roundup that you might want to go with this Intel mobo. "Rock solid" is how I believe Gary described it. .

    mATX Roundup

    Are they still testing or is it now a case of waiting for an NDA to run out on the 7050 chipset boards? Just speculation but in that primer article Gary Key said something to the effect of "more info will be available on the 15th" regarding those boards. Makes me wonder if they haven't already...

    Looking for: 1680x1050 16.7Mil NON DITHERED LCD monitor; best deal?

    I have been researching the same models and I agree with xtknight. In the 20" category the AL2051W is the best monitor out there for the price right now. That said I probably won't be getting it. I will more than likely get the Samsung 206BW. I want the option of hanging the thing from an arm...

    CC - Samsung 225BW 22" LCD $199.99 AC

    That may be true but I understood him for the most part and I agree with what he is saying. The thing that really irritates me is when manufacturers come out with a new monitor, with a decent panel in it, and then after reviews and a bit of time passes they switch to an inferior panel. Either...

    You're correct. I see that now. What a crock.

    ASUS P5B Deluxe or GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3

    I know it doesn't answer your question but what about this Asus P5B-Plus? I am looking at the DS3 also but ran across this P5B-Plus yesterday and it looks interesting. It has a few more features than the DS3 like for instance an eSATA port. There isn't much info on it - that I could find anyway...
