    875P > 865PE faster by how much?

    Please humor me with this question, it will be very unscientific! Given all things being equal (Brand of Board, CPU, RAM, Video, etc), how much faster is the 875P board vs. an 865PE board? Please use a % (5%, 10% etc)? 1. An 875P board running PAT vs. a 865PE board. 2. An 875P board...

    Will there be a 5900 Ultra 128MB??

    Does anyone know for sure if any partner is going to make a 5900 Ultra 128MB?? You would think someone would to compete price and performance wise with the 9800 Pro 128MB. I keep hearing a lot of conjecture, but no hard proof.

    Trying to find software package contents of GFX 5900 Ultras is a pain (update: info about various 5900 Ultra cards)

    Everytime I look at the Leadtek site, every card says 256mb plus being an ultra. Not the Title, but the detailed description.

    IS7 IDE Connectors?

    After reading Evan's review of the IS7, I am a little confused. He states " The horizontally placed Primary and Secondary IDE connectors are simply unacceptable for any modern day computer case if you ever plan on using that first or second bay for your optical drive(s)". I have only built...

    Intel 865PE Mainboard.. BOXD865PERLK

    Looking at NewEgg, I am confused by something. If you compare a OEM PERLL ($145) to a Retail PERLL ($134), it appears the OEM gives you more (USB Header, I/O Plate, IDE Cables, Serial ATA cables). I always thought Retail gave you more accessories and was more expensive than OEM??
