Can someone help me on a few questions? I got the 700m this morning with the DVD burner. Its a DVD+R/+RW drive apparently. Is that ok for burning video DVD's/data DVDs? Will the movie/video DVD's made by this recorder play ok in most home DVD players? Also .. will this DVD burner also...

ahh! is the rebate gone on the antennas? Which one would you guys recommend to improve signal on the floor above me? My parents room doesn't get a good signal but excellent downstairs. Which one is stronger? I wouldn't mind having to aim it w/ the uni-directional one.

any recommendations for good video / gaming out of those 19 inch LCD's listed above? I checked out the response time for the BenQ and Samsung .. both in the 25 and up range. ACK!

Hmm, I called around local stores here in San francisco and tried ordering only .. only to get the backorder information. If I backorder it now, will it cause problems w/ the rebate? What if it never arrives in time before the rebates expire? I'm kind of answering my own question since I'm...

If you go to SBC Yahoo's Home Page and follow the "Learn about DSL" link, you'll see that the 26.95/month for 1 year deal is an ongoing promotion. Its been on for a few months if I'm not wrong! :D Either way, its a good deal. Some people complain about sbc but I haven't had any major problems...

I'm in the trial period of a newly signed up Motorola T721 with AT&T GSM. Now my current phone is Verizon and I've grown accustomed to the good signals in 95% of the places I go. With this new phone, its VERY random and I have yet to have one "clear" conversation on this phone. I know GSM is...

Awesome board .. super price .. free shipping! Abit NF7-S

default fsb "L12 mod"??? what's that? an option in the BIOS? I really hope I didn't just get a "crappy" CPU. Although it runs pretty sweet regardless! :D

I think something's up with my 2800+ barton. My setup is below in my signature ... I'm currently overclocked @ 202FSB x 10.5 w/1.775 vcore. I'm sure my vcore can come down a bit but my temps never get over 40C under Prime95 torture tests as is. My RAM, is set at stock/optimal ranges just for...

Is it worthwhile to change the FSB/RAM ratio to say 4/6 or whatever to gain the extra 33mhz in RAM speed? That would make my RAM asynchronous also ... Or is my system going to perform better running synchronous and @ DDR400?

What do the numbers in brackets mean? [3200+] ?

sounds good!

Thank PHPdog! You've helped a ton! Ive been playing with the numbers and as soon as I find a stable one I'll let you know! :D A couple of more questions ... What is a "safe" idle CPU temp reading in the BIOS? How about a "Safe" CPU temp while running Prime95? Do I need to break the CPU in...

according to my abit nf7-s manual .. its jumper CCMOS1 that discharges the CMOS. Move it from pins 1 and 2 ( where it is right now ) .. to pins 2 and 3 when clearing the CMOS.

double post .. sorry
