What do you reckon to your XP-90 - any good, or should I be looking at the Zalman 7000?

Just so know, I gave up in the end. There doesn't appear to be any drivers for the ADDON card for XP64, whereas the MSI PC54G2 card works fine with the drivers I downloaded from MSI.

Suggestions please? Not really interested in going down the water cooling path. What do Zalman do and are they any good?

AFter trying pretty much any and every driver I could find, I've given in. Emailed the tech support from ADDON Technology, have't heard anything back, so I'm gonna buy the Asus 138g WiFi card tomorrow, which should *hopefully* work.

Or if I do have to, does anyone know of any Wireless LAN card which will be compatible with XP64?

I have just experienced problems with a ADDON GWP100 802.11g PCI card.... and I'm not sure whether it is self-inflicted or Microsoft-inflicted. I've used the card on XP 32-bit for a year with no problems. I have just upgraded to XP64 and I've got problems. It's either because the drivers I...

Just upgraded my system to XP 64 and dropped my old 802.11g card into the mb, and instead of accepting the (previously working on XP SP2) drivers from the CD, it comes up with 'Unknown Device' 'Network Controller' on the Task Manager - do I need to install other XP64 components or do you think...

Might hang on the end of this thread myself... about to complete the same job. Unloaded the boxes and they're now just sat looking at me. Time to brew the coffee and open up the manuals.

Can I use my old IDE HD on my new shiny EPoX EP-9NPA+ Ultra mboard?

Cheers. I reali sed that Gainward were a GC manufacturer - just never heard of them and wondered whether they were reputable. Those quoted prices were UK based - are we being scammed over here or what? And is there any US supplier that would ship here cheap or free P&P?

Does Gainward PowerPack! Ultra/3400PCX XP VIVO-DVI-DVI - graphics adapter - GF 7800 GT - 256 MB sound reasonable for $447? And who are Gainward? And is there a pretty decent Graphics card available for around $350 (or even sub?)

Thanks for the advice - esp 1Dark1Sharigan1 - after much thought I'm going to go for the 3800 X2. The problem with budgets is sticking to them... so I'm kind of making it up as I feel necessary.

You see I think I have a problem with being indecisive. I have a number of friends on one side saying go for the San Diego, theres no point in getting the Dual Core, nothing uses Dual Core yet... I still have this nagging feeling that buying the X2 would be the best longer-term strategy and the...

Right, I'm getting there now. I'm *think* I'm doing the right thing with the 3800+ X2 CPU. Gaming performance may not be up to some of the Venice chips but overall I think I should get some reasonable performance and it should last me a while (although I've kidded myself into that one...
