    Phenom 9850 X4 matx motherboard recommendation

    I'm relatively new to AMD, and am looking for some recommendations for a matx board for a Phenom 9850. I received the processor for free, and am planning on putting it in an Thermaltake Lanbox. I usually buy my stuff from Newegg, but when I looked, there were just too many boards to choose...

    Upgrade Motherboard or Completely New Build?

    I took a look around there, and it seems that those agp mobo's are sold pretty quickly. Any other ideas? I was looking at maybe getting an e2160 and a board that supports agp. It doesn't look like many options for them though.

    Upgrade Motherboard or Completely New Build?

    I have been using an P4S8X to do my gaming, basically games like Civ 4 and Black and white, but now the agp port has gone out. I can see that the last pin of the agp port is scorched. My GF4 TI4200 is fried, but I got an x800 Pro. Now, I'm having a tough time what to do. I have 2 other...

    Will Software recover this HDD?

    Your best bet would be to look for a Knoppix live cd image on the net. Burn it to a disk, and then boot a computer up with the hard drive attatched. I have been able to recover pictures and other data without problem using the knoppix disc even when the hard drive is in total failure. You will...

    Thanks for the reply. I already am his tech support, so I'd rather kind of work on my own stuff than work on his Dells. He's into selling small engine parts online and basically uses the computers to access Quickbooks and create new pages for his website. I was thinking about starting a...
