Well here is the fix.. It appears that the adapter for the molex-to-8 pin 12v motherboard power was bad. I guess it provided enough power for 1 cpu to post, but not enough for 2. I went to Frys and bought another one, and now everything boots up fine and is operating normally. Thanks...

I have a molex to 8-pin adapter for the second 8-pin adapter. My power supply has 1 8-pin adapter. I just bought a different molex adapter.. but here is where I don't think that would be the issue. If I unplug 1 of the 8-pin power connectors.. it won't post even with just 1 cpu in socket1...

I'll try to make this long story short. I received a Asus DGPE-D16 and 2 Opteron 6128 (8 core) from the egg. Along with it I also purchased 32G of regular DDR3 (which the board supports), a Rosewill server case, and a 750W Antec Earthwatts. I put together everything and powered it on and...

yeah.. I hope that works out.. but I know right now today, it is not the case. Only a few games are out with true optimization for more than 2 cores. But at LEAST there are a few games out.. whicch means more to come. the most important part though will be the GPU, which is why I will be...

Thank you to the people who actually posted recommendations to the items I actually had listed (or the items closest enough to them). Like I said, I'm doing this all right now, and will not have the money later on. I wouldn't even thing about an upgrade from a X2 4600+ to a Intel 2140 or 2180...

Sorry people.. I mispoke. I am not upgrading to G92. I got my core names messed up. Basically I am going to wait for the new Nvidia card in Feb/Mar. I would assume it would be a 9800 (however that would be lame since ATI already had a 9800). So I think I will go with the gigabyte since the...

Ok, I know everyone is sick of these types of posts, but then again, I know many of you like to live vicariously through other people's purchases. Here is the deal. I am dealing with a ~500 budget for the ram/mobo/cpu. I was thinking of getting the following: CPU: Q6600 or...

I would assume waaay better than a C3 processor... yuck That athlon mobile chip came out in 2001..

Gonna have this fella in about a week... Gaming would be no probs with it..and you can save yourself about 500$ or so.. http://www.discountlaptops.com/index.ph...or&regular_model_id=1116&model_id=1117 The idea of having a Desktop for 1000$-1500$ and a budjet laptop for about 500-600$...

Plus you get a DVD/CDRW drive.. and XP home edition and no linspire.. Does that laptop look a little thick?

there should be no reason to spend 500-550 on a generic laptop when you can have a brand new dell for under 500 http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/....aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&oc=i1200R1&s=dhs Then get a student code for the rebate (forgot how much percentage it is..) My rommate does...

Will do... I promised the people over at notebookreview.com's forums that I will post a review..mainly geared towards gaming. That X700 is a bad little mutha when looking at the reviews...

Excellent. I hve just ordered it. Looks like I will have it next week..but I will be in Vegas. Doesn't get anybetter than that!

My bad.. The link for it is at: http://www.discountlaptops.com/index.ph...or&regular_model_id=1116&model_id=1117 It's the exact same price and options as that link you just gave me. Wasn't able to find any benefits as to go with either or... Any other comments? Do you think the Asus...

I thought the same thing.. however I have slowly learned that 17" has a few downfalls: Less battery life Larger and heavier and as for widescreen.. there are several opengl games out there that don't support the widescreen resolutions so it ends up running at 4:3 anyways..and when that...
