does anybody use the optical out on the addon card on the kt333 platinum successfully? if so, is there anything special (besides installing drivers, etc) that you had to do to get it to work? thanks for any help you can offer... david

thanks guys.. that helps out a lot... is hyperthreading that big of a deal? fyi, i'm switching from AMD since longer than i can remember, going witht he p4 mostly because i do a lot of media encoding... any thoughts or tips..

what in the bloody hell is hyperthreading and is this feature incorporated in the 1.8a, or is it only newer processors? -david

is there any advantage to trying to find the c stepping? just a better chance of getting a stable oc at stock voltage?

it is my understanding that the smaller die size means less heat production... nice in such a small case..

is this the 1.8a version i'm looking for? good price (considering the free shipping and no tax for me here in CA), but it doesnt say 'a' or Northwood like most other online stores' info sections do... david

no, you cant increase the Vcore on the shuttle, which is why after your guys input i'm going to go with the 1.8a. nice o/c almost guaranteed (esp with the new c1 stepping, i hear?) just by bumping the bus to 533, at stock cooling. i do have some extra A/S from my last upgrade, good thought. even...

I am downsizing my system to one of the new shuttle xpcs (sb51g) after reading all the good reviews... i want to get a 1.8a or 2.0a and run it at a 533 mhz bus... but i'm afraid the 2.67ghz that the 2.0a goes too will be too much for such a small case... although with all i've heard, the same...

i have the athlon version of that matx board... is there anything i should know that's particularly wrong with it?

its geforce2mx... i remember when that was the best price/performance ration there was... ha!

i have as3... shouldnt be much worse than as2... heh

put on a thermaltake high cfm fan and the temps are down to 40c... i guess it's fine

way cooler... because it run at a much lower voltage (my tbird defaults at 1.8v) -david

i have the same question. for now i'm just using winamp 2.8whatever... taint so bad -david

yes, yes i do.
