I don't want to start a flamefest, but anyone who is running Vista voluntarily should reconsider their decision to be a Microsoft guinea pig. As if anyone really needs DirectX 10 for gaming right now. I consider non-voluntary Vista users people who are running Vista due to corporate...

Hey OSUBaller, An obvious question - although perfectly legitimate and crucial: Have you checked the mobo's BIOS to see if there is a section where you can "set" the PCI-E Graphics Mode, i.e. 8X, 16X, ect.? Take a careful look at your mobo's BIOS options...

I'm 42 and so far, never - for any reason medical or otherwise. As far as "otherwise" goes "I don't dial 911" if you catch my drift...

Yeah gersson, AFAIK the only other ATI parner that offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on their cards besides Power Color is Visiontek, and Visiontek's Limited Lifetime Warranty is for the top-end cards. Thats how I wound up buying my X1900XTX. US-based company who offered a Lifetime Warranty...

Thanks for the reply Heidfirst. That makes at least three C2D boards that the SI-120 will fit without any mods. Cool. Anyone with an ASUS P5W DH Deluxe or other P5W and an SI-120? Again, TIA for your replies!

Thanks for the head-up on these two photogearjunkie. Both really nice looking boards!

Hey thanks for the threads Fullmetal Chocobo. Gotta read these now...

Hi all, I hadn't planned on moving along from my S939 FX and Opteron-based systems, but I may actually build at least one C2D soon. If I do I'd like to be able to use a (Thermalright) SI-120 in the C2D system (using a S775 RM of course). Without me having top wade though all the posts in...

While its' not a silent case, I still like my Lian Li V1000 Plus II because it looks so sweet. The SI-120 fits great in the V-Series cases too. Three (3) 120mm fans standard. Front Intake (blows over hard drives to keep them cool. Kept four 15K.3 Cheetahs' in RAID 10 under control), Side...

Hi HotWire, Buy my used, but LNIB MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Edition motherboard. Complete with all accessories, cables, User's Manual, ect in original box - $90.00 SHIPPED Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation. The K8N Neo2 PE is no longer produced, so you will not find any new ones out...

I run 1,600x1,200 for everything at the standard font sizes. I've always worn either contacts or glasses, but as long as I'm wearing them I have no problem reading on Anandtech at all from up to about 24".

While technological afvances have allowed graphics cards to become much more powerful than ever before, their power has largely come from the use of an ever increasing number of transistors. Die shrinks notwithstanding, more transistors mean greater power requirement, greater heat output, and...

STFU. Stop trying to sound as if you know what the Hell you're talking about, akshayt.

Right on the money. SLI and CrossFire are for Ultra high-end systems that are being built NOW. Why? Because as Munky alluded to, by the time most people can afford to buy their second card Nvidia and/or ATI have released a newer card(s) that are as fast or faster then the previous...
