    Still a few BFG FX 5900/CoD bundles at Fry's

    I saw some at Fry's Palo Alto a few days ago. I personally grabbed the PNY 5900 at the same price. So far it is OC'n with no problems at all. Have it at 500/900 stable ... still going to try to push it some more.

    IC7-MAX3 with SCSI Boot

    well the way the MAX3 does it, there is no option to specify SCSI. There is this option to "Enable other boot devices" or something like that. Basically there is a "other boot device" option you can specify SATA, or PCI. The PCI option would be the equivalent to SCSI since that's where the...

    anyone running scsi on IC7-MAX3?

    IC7-MAX3 with SCSI Boot

    Adaptec BIOS shows up just fine. It was already configured prior to switching MB's but when things weren't working i went back in to double check and everything was still configured properly. I tried a few changes in the SCSI BIOS settings but nothing worked. I've moved the SCSI card in to...

    In initial testing i didn't. 1 box installed Ti4600 and drivers ... tested. Uninstalled drivers .. slapped in 9700 Pro installed drivers .. tested. Didn't do any benchmarking, but in game there was a noticeable difference. That's when i chose the 4600, uninstalled ATI drivers, put the 4600...

    Radeon 9700 Pro or Nvidia Ti4600

    I have both cards and personally find the Ti4600's performance much better. I don't play a lot of FPS's anymore .. i play a lot of Everquest these days and hands down my Ti4600 out performs the 9700 Pro. I just recently got a PNY 5600 FX 256MB and am not having much luck with it. Lots of lag...
