Very cool. I've had a couple Iwill boards for AMD and they both rocked. This looks sweet for some hardcore Intel OC'ing!

I'm surprised your board didn't come with Via's Harware Monitor. You can download Motherboard Monitor (MBM) from here: MBM

You picked a great board, so be nice to it and get great components. HSF = Volcano II is under $20. Surf around for reviews and you'll see it performs great and is a steal for the price. Anandtech didn't have one for their roundup. http://www.lostcircuits.com/advice/volcanoii/ Ram = Gonna...

You don't really need a HS on the northbridge. Lot's of folks are running fsb in the 150's with no problems at all. See their rigs and scores over at: Iwill forum at amdmb A blue orb would look cool though!

The $89 deal is also at Office Depot, Office Max, Circuit City and Best Buy.

I have 2 speakers and a subwoofer and need a cheap but good card. Any recommendations? I do not plan on getting 4.1 or 5.1 speakers any time soon and I don't want any conflicts with my KT7A that's coming this week.

Can someone explain the difference in DMA mode and PIO mode? Is DMA mode better or faster? I will be getting my TDK(it's a Plextor too) 12x10x32 in the mail this week. Am I being ripped off from some claimed performance or feature I will not get?

tgi asked someone to explain the difference between cas 2 and cas 3. Cas 2 is faster, benchmarks have shown it. at crucial.com it says: &quot;CL=2&quot; (also written &quot;CL2&quot; or &quot;CAS=2&quot;) refers to a module's CAS latency. CAS latency is the amount of time it takes for your...

Mushkin (www.mushkin.com)is supposed to be the best for overclocking and is the most expensive, but 128mb of Rev2, cas 2, is on sale this weekend for $89 with free shipping. Crucial (www.crucial.com) 256mb is on sale for $113, 128mb for $57, for cas 2 with free shipping today as well. I bought 2...

I called TDK last week when I bought mine from Buy.com (not in stock), and they said Buy.com is participating in the program and they would accept my purchase. Better not be lying to me.

Moonbender, I haven't seen a review on ASUS mobo and they do not have nay info on it on their wesite. >Does the northbridge have a HSF on it? >Is there crowding around the CPU? Is it set close to the edge of the board like ABIT's is? >Does it have onboard sound? >Did you have any trouble at all...

for those who are getting the new KT133A boards see the overclockers.com article today: http://www.overclockers.com/ also follow the link that says &quot;What we think is happening with the 133A boards. In a nutshell it seems the high multiplier CPUs (some) simply may not work. Regardless of...

see the overclockers.com article today regarding KT133A. http://www.overclockers.com/ also follow the link that says &quot;What we think is happening with the 133A boards. It seems the high multiplier CPUs (some) simply may not work. Regardless of unlocking the CPUs multiplier, upon bootup the...

sound like it's not the 50th week of production, but is week 50 of the calendar year.
