    i7 920 vs i5 750 (same price)

    If this is for gaming like another poster said go the CHEAPER route and put that $ into a nice video card. You will NOT notice any difference at all in your gaming with either CPU. The synthetic benchmarks show differences but NOTHING ever noticeable while gaming period.

    Which build: i7-920 vs. i5-750?

    i7-920 setup I assume then over the i-750 though still for only $80 the best bang for the buck?

    Which build: i7-920 vs. i5-750?

    Trying to decide on the setup which will last me the longest/best bang for my buck using WIndows 7. Current prices on newegg are being used below. No need for video card, other accessories, etc.: i7-920 --> $289 Gigabyte EX58 --> $174 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128375)...

    PC boots to black screen

    Well new Gigabyte MOBO runs like a charm and LUCKILY no need to reinstall windows. Just let Vista 64 update the drivers and runs just like before.

    PC boots to black screen

    Yeah - just the normal quick beep at startup and no error beeps for the ram or no video card detected. CPU heats up fine and the paperclip test works on the PSU. Got a new MOBO coming tomorrow. Now I just have to hope I do not have to reinstall Vista 64 as I have heard some folks have not had...

    PC boots to black screen

    Tried clearing cmos 3 times and the pc does turn on along with all fans. When trying both video cards the fans on them do turn on also; just no picture at all on either monitor I tried. It actually does appear that it is not booting; I only get the beep just as it turns on but no beep or codes...

    PC boots to black screen

    I am guessing the power supply is fine since all of the fans run, drives open, etc.? It is 1000W. Thanks so much for the reply.

    PC boots to black screen

    As of last night my pc was running fine. This morning I go to turn it on and it appears to boot up just fine. All the fans come on, beeps and it runs like it normally would. The issue is that my monitor light goes green for a few seconds; then I get the no signal message and the light turns...

    Back to Nvidia

    THERE'S the Nvida fanboy post, lol These are hilarious. Yeah you should at lease post exactly what the issues are, your fan settings, cooling setup, etc. 4870 here on 64 bit OS, and never had 1 single issue at all period. The ATI drivers have been great to date and I also am one of the few...

    Nvidia GTX295

    I love this argument WHEN Nvidia fanboys tout the gains in the HAND-PICKED games for their driver releases but do not mention that. BUT do call it out for ATI, lol

    NVIDIA Stereovision on morning news(!)

    Agreed - no idea where folks are saying this is NOT expensive, lol The $ for the glasses alone can go a LONG way towards one hell of a video card and then OH YEAH that's right you have to buy a monitor as well, lol It will be a LONG time before this is even close to mainstream.

    NVIDIA Stereovision on morning news(!)

    Yeah I am with others on this - POSSIBLY a great concept and all; but no way I see it fitting in many people's budgets for a few years. Hell it's taken a good few years just for HDTV's to come down into a decent price range.

    Does the HD4870 1GB have enough juice for a 30" LCD?

    512 MB prob can't AA/AF on the 30" BUT the 1GB 4870 is MORE than enough trust me from a user. I play all the modern and latest releases at 4XAA/16XAF and not a hitch. If the 4870 is the cheaper alt it will EASILY handle what you need. But if one of the Nvidia cards is cheaper than that will...

    Yep spot on indeed!!! The 512 does damn nice and the 1GB is MORE than enough for a 30 incher.
