Just an update... I got the new motherboard & PSU and everything works! Thanks everybody. Haven't gotten the courage up yet to overclock this rig, but the core i7 is awesome stock.

They are crossed. :-) Thanks man... gives me some hope. The waiting is killing me. Everything else looked good though... no burns or anything.

Finally broke down and ordered the rest of the components to go with a core i7 920 I bought in December. I bought a Asus P6T Pro MoBo, 12GB OCZ mem, Antec 550W PS, and a Saphire 4850. Put the machine together on Sunday, everything looked good. Installed Windows, no problem. But I was...

Looking to spend around $75, but would be willing to go up to $100/$110.

I'm looking for a budget LGA775 motherboard with on-board video that supports RAID. I already have a pentium E2160 that I'm going to use. Here are my need/like to have's. RAID 1 support (need). Onboard video (need). Basic overclocking ability (like). 4 DIMM slots (like, since I already...

Intel's site doesn't seem to list any info about these processors: http://www.dell.com/content/pr...?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd Is this a new set of socket 771 CPU's?

With the new price cuts, I've finally decided to go for a q6600. I'm going to try an overclock to 3.0GHz. Want to buy everything from newegg and I've narrowed it down to the ASUS P5N32-E or the Intel BOXD975XBX2KR. I'm leaning towards the ASUS w/ the nvidia 680i, though SLI is NOT important...

Wondering if anyone on the forum was using an intel "shelton" (cacheless - Banias based Celeron)? I wanted to put together a slim, quiet system using on of these setups and I was looking for case recommendations from anyone with one. Thanks! See for more info...

Thanks! Didn't know vmware was having issues with the X2 procs at this time. I'll keep that in mind. --James

Thanks, but I run 3 - 4 Virtual Machines at any given time that are in use. I do need the processing power. --James

I'm looking to put together an X2 based server for my house. Stability is a number 1 priority. Graphics are not a concern since I will only be remote desktoping to the server. I will be running Windows Server 2003. I know that I am going to be going with the X2 3800 and at least 2GB of RAM. I...

I'm looking to order a 939 motherboard this week for use with an FX-53. Not going to be OC'ing or anything like that. However, I will be running a SATA RAID-0 configuration, with 1 large IDE drive for storage. Also, I did have a another question. I see many boards with only three DIMM slots...

I'm looking to convert some old VHS tapes to DVD. I have a 4X Pioneer DVD-R and a Nvidia Ti4200 with VIVO. Is there ONE full featured program out there that will take me from the capture to the menu creation/authoring? My burner came with some software with a name like SonicDVD or something, but...

Hey everyone. I'm looking for upgrade suggestions on a system with the following specs: 300MHz Celeron OC to 450 384MB Ram Abit BX board Not sure how much the powersupply is, but probably under 200W. 8MB, AGP ATI Rage Video Card As far as the upgrade, here are the requirements: Would like to...

I added a second 2.4GHz Xeon processor to my 1600SC. The P4 generation 1600's do not need a VRM added. Also, the added processor was a retail processor. HOWEVER, the retail fan/heatsink will not work. (They just don't fit.) For that you will need to go to dell. Don't quote me, but I think the...
