    Pinnacle Mobile Media Converter

    I just bought Pinnacle's Mobile Media Converter from CompUSA's downloadable software store last night. It installed fine but it requires a patch to work with Vista 32bit. But to get the patch you have to register with Pinnacle. No big deal? The serial key that CompUSA supplied is nowhere near a...

    Crossfire on an SLI Board

    I love my Asus M2N32-SLI-DX mobo and want to upgrade my graphics with a 2900XT. And I plan to get another card for multi-GPU gaming later on, but I don't want another mobo! Are there any driver hacks out there where I can enable crossfire on an nVidia chipset?

    EPoX Requiem

    Very sad. The EPoX nForce 570 SLI mobo was a beast. It could overclock better than some 590 boards. They will be missed...

    Is AMD X2 5600+ just a bad overclocker?

    I have an X2 5600+. I just upgraded from an X2 4000+ I kept oced @ 2.66ghz (10*266) on an Asus AN932X-SLI. But now I'm using an Asus M2N32-SLI with 2Gb of Corsair CL5. I'm planning to screw around with overclocking this weekend. I'd really like to hit 3.2ghz, but I doubt I will. My new CL5 RAM...

    Good AM2 board?

    Do you need SLI? If so I'd go with the Asus M2N-E SLI for $94.99.

    athlon xp 2600+

    I had a Barton 2500+ with an Asus A7N8X motherboard, and I could get the CPU to around 2.4ghz (218*11). I kept it at 2.2ghz (200*11) 24/7.

    non matching ram sizes

    It will work, but it won't be dual channel. The only chip-sets I can think of that can run dual channel with non-matching RAM is the socket A nForce 1 and 2. I had a Leadtek 420DA and an Asus A7N8X that could operate in dual channel with 2x256MB and 1x512MB of pc2700. Both of these chip-sets...

    20 pin powersupply but 24 pin motherboard?

    As long as it's a quality PSU, it should work fine with or without a 20->24pin adapter. The 20pin will still plug straight into the 24pin socket. Read your mobo booklet ans see what it says. I used a 20pin Elements zPower 500w PSU with my eVGA NF41 SLI motherboard for almost a year. I also was...

    My AM2 X2 4000 Overclock results

    FYI, G.Skill naming rule Click on Tech Info F2-6400PHU1-1GBNR I guess the "NR" would equal normal/regular. IMO, still good RAM for the price, and it can do it with <2.0v.
