No, no mainboard yet (Socket 939 board failed recently - Even though MB failed, X2 AMD 4800+CPU survived.) I decided to upgrade mainboard/CPU/memory because I have not touched my system for a long time and prices are very good - also wanted to be able to switch over to Windows Vista...

Right now at Newegg they are selling the 9600 Phenom Quad Core at the same price as the Athon X2 6400+ CPU, $119. Which one do you suggest? I do moderate gaming, a lof of internet use, listening to music and watching movies. thanks!

I am seriously considering investing in an Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe GR mainboard for my AMD X2 6400+ CPU and 4 GB of corsair memory. I will be using Windows XP home Sp2. Any thoughts on the M2N-SLI?

Thanks for all of the assistance. I have decided to spend a little more and get a current AM2/AM2+ motherboard, memory and processor : Here is my question: I am upgrading part of my computer system, including the motherboard, but would like to keep my 2 IDE optical drives. I am intersted in...

Thanks for posting Crow - I am going to research your ASUS board to see if it fits my needs.

Hi, my Gigabyte socket 939 manboard just failed, after 2.5 years of fairly good use. I am considering buying a ASUS A8N-LA (for $60.) to replace it. Anyone out there have this ASUS MB or know anything about it?

Hi, I have a Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939 mainboard that just failed and I am looking to replace it with the same. I found out, though, that the K8NSC has no game port. Is that something that I can change later (without changing the entire motherboard) - or am I stuck? I do some gaming, not...

Are we talking about those slot fans that you put in a PCI slot? What I can do is give you the dimensions: The case is 17" high, 8 " wide and 16" long. It has 4 - 5 1/4 drive bays and the top 2 are occupied. I was studing it from the outside and the 2 availabe bays look spacious. It is...

Thanks for the replying. So is there a particular brand/model of exhaust fan you would suggest? Sometimes I can be sensitive to sounds. Corsair includes twist ties! That is funny about how you said how to shove excess cabling into that space below the optical drives. I was pondering that...

Hi, I bought a Corsair VX 550 watt power supply and am concerned that too many wires will restrict important air flow. I have a mid-tower case (for the life of me I cannot remember the brand) and I heard quite a few buyers of the 550 saying the extra cables make it a very tight fit in their...

Thanks again Quick! Yeah, I was aware of the 3850, however, I don't know what happened. The purchase of the 1950 has been completed so there is no point in sending it back. There is a 15% re-stock fee. The only concern I have now is that I am changing from a Nvidia based system to ATI. I know...

Thanks again - yeah, I do not know what model number the ANTEC is. It took me a while to zero in on the Corsair 550. I got it for just over $60 at Buy.com. thanks, John

Thanks for your help! My current power supply is an Antec 400 watt. The new supply is a Corsair VX 550 watt supply. How did I do?

Hi, Okay - I just purchased (it has not arrrived yet) a Visiontek ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256 MB AGP Video Card as the last touch for a socket 939 system running an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ CPU. My question is this -The ATI 1950 card is the first ATI-based card that I will putting in my...
