There were no protective covers on the 24 pin connection. anyone have any experience with this MB? Ken

I just put together a new system, AMD Phenom 720 X3 on a Gigabyte MA790X-UD4P mother board. I put the 20+4 power supply in but where I would expect a 4 pin power supply there is an 8 pin. The connector is listed as ATX_12V_2X4. I don't want to take a chance and mess up the board so I am seeking...

I went with the sapphire 4830 from new egg, $69.95 AR and coupon. Thanks, Ken

I am building a new system, AMD Phenom 720 X3 on a Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UDP4 MB. I have been looking at video cards and can't decide between ATI and NVidia. I have only used NVidia cards and would like to stick with them but am open to suggestions. I like playing FPS games but am not a hard core...

Got my 940BX tonight after ordering on Wednesday. Hooked it up using the DVI connection. Quickly tried Far Cry and COD2. I can't believe the difference between this and the 17" CRT I had been using. Outstanding, everything looks like I can reach in and touch it. Had a problem with Magic Tune...

I decided to order the Samsung 940BX, all of the reviews I've read are very positive and several remarks about games playing excellent. I'll post back after I try it out. I ordered from Buy.com, opened another credit card and took the cheapest shipping option ending up at $234 delivered...

I just checked out the reviews on NewEgg for the 940BX and they look very good. I really would like to get the BX instead of the BF for the added features and the 1000:1 contrast. I'll think on it a little more but think I will order the 940BX. By the way, on Pagecomputer they list a 940BX and...

I am looking for my first LCD, 19". The more I read the more confused I get. I use my system for gaming 3/4 of the time, mostly FPS games. I thougth the Samsung 940BX was the ticket, any thought about this monitor, contrast 1000:1, response time 5ms. Very little info available about it. Any...

Thanks for the response. From what I can find TAA is some dsort of trade compliance rating. I checked the Samsung website and this monitor just came out a few months ago, discontinued already? Ken
