    Crashing and stablilty problem

    HI, I just got myself an Asus A8N32-sli and xfx 7800GT. I installed them yesterday and had very frequent crashes. I thought this was because of the need to reinstall windows so I did that. Then I couldn't even touch the video drivers without the PC crashing. I moved the videocard into the...

    Narrowed it down to three!

    ^^ LOL thanks for that ;) Actually I've managed to get a hold of the Asus A8N32 beast cheapish so I'm thinking I might go with that. The whole point of this upgrade is to undo the mistake of not waiting for a 939 pci-3 board a year ago (although they were not too flash). So if I get the dual...

    Narrowed it down to three!

    Ryan: I did consider that board but it blows out my price range completly! I am dissapointed I cannot wait for dual 16x boards to become a little more affordable. At the moment it's selling at ~$450. Then again....(maybe if I find something under my bed to eBay!) Does the A8N32-SLI have any...

    Question about SLi

    Gday, I was cruising on eBay and found this little gem. It says that the card is "AGP 4/8x....SLi Ready". In the product overview it says "PCI-Express / AGP 8X interface" Now I was under the impression that SLi was for PCI-e cards only? Am I missing something completly? plz help a...

    Performance Problems

    Cool thanks for that :) it's a pain when I didn't have any resources to check my own scores, as my friends PC's have quite different configs. I got the latest nforce drivers, which I forgot about, and that seemed to have helped with the stability of Total War. I played it for a whole 5...

    Total War seems to run ok now that I uninstalled and reinstalled on the C drive (normally put games on a seperate partition) and didn't put the patch on. Ran 3DMark, everything on default. Results were: 3DMark Score 4871 3DMarks GT1 - Return To Proxycon 21.3 FPS GT2 - Firefly Forest...
