Btw, just so everyone knows, AsRock is the value division of Asus. So both their motherboards are manufactured in the same fab.

Well, thanks for the replies. X850XT it is then. :)

bump.

What about HDR? Many new upcoming games use HDR, and I am told (never experienced it myself), that HDR makes a game extremely realistic. Can the X850XT do HDR? I know it could do it in HL2-Lost Coast, but in most others like Far Cry, Splinter Cell, only SM3.0 cards can do it.

Dude, the 6800GS that I'm talking about beats or equals the 6800 Ultra in many cases, and according to the link you gave, HDR is playable on the 6800 Ultra upto 1600x1200 res.

But the AsRock also has HD audio (btw, what's the difference between surround audio and HD audio?), and it can be upgraded to socket AM2 using a riser slot. Also, the SLI is true x16, not dual x8 like many board manufacturers do. Wouldn't it be more futureproof? Asus certainly makes world...

Whoa! Prices dropped even more! Just last week, it was $199.

Here's the review of the XFX 6800GS XXX edition, btw: http://www.nvnews.net/reviews/xfx_geforce_6800gs/index.shtml It also sells for pretty cheap. $240 Canadian, where I live.

Recently, the prices on the X850XT have dropped quite a lot, and it sells for 200 bucks on Newegg. At the same time, I found another gfx card, the XFX 6800GS XXX edition, which is clocked at 485/1100. I've read reviews of both, and both seem to be good cads, but there hasn't been a single...

I currently have an Athlon XP 2500+, and I'm upgrading to a socket 939 system soon (within the next week). I need some advice on which motherboard I should choose for my new system. I have done a lot of research, and narrowed it down to two choices: Asus A8N-E based on the Nforce 4 Ultra OR...

Well, I hate to say this, but you're probably screwed. I find it amazing that you're even able to log on to Windows and do stuff.......svchost is an essential process and normally, you can't even terminate it using the Task Manager. Try this: Go to Run, type in cmd. When the dos window opens...

Thanks! That was very informative! :)

Thanks a lot guys!! You've been a BIG help! :D

Ahh....ok. And is the HTT of an Opteron processor, lets say the Opteron 146, slower/faster than that of an Athlon 64?

Yes, it does make a big difference in performance, especially if you don't have a lot of RAM.
