It might be possible to throw a 7850 in there no? I mean sure .. the board can't handle PII's but it might take those.. yes / no?
Aside from that I'd say the 5600 would be your best bet. Altho there is a 6000+ out that is lower wattage but mmm it's a bit pricey.
wow..
I always just clear the cmos with the jumper pins. Can remember doing that for atleast 5+ years. I don't recall having to take the battery out.. ever. and that's on atleast 40+ motherboards.
You can find jumpers on old boards, or hard drives as well if you have any sitting around.
Well, While I do like the board I decided to take it back and went with a whole kit (i7 920, 6G DDR3, and a Gigabyte X58 board)
While I don't recommend others go out and do that .. I figured shoot .. I am already buying a costly DDR2 board that's roughly the same price as the x58 board I...
I picked up a Asus M4A79 Deluxe board yesterday (replacing a MATX variant that was used for a temp solution) and I am wondering if any of you on these forums are using it. If you are what do you think of the board, any advice to give? Looking thru the bios options there's alot in there that I...
Core2,
no that was one of the pages I skipped over. THERE ARE so many! I looked back now and booked that page due to the tweak guide! Thanks for the tip.
I've been using this board for a few weeks now for my new setup and decided to throw a post in here. (good lord there are alot of posts! I haven't read them all yet, and probably going to have to bookmark this page)
My Build:

Ouch that's harsh. During upgrade times I've gone thru hmmm as many as 6 motherboards.... (over 3-6 months) until I finally settle on one I actually like.
Looks like ill be bucking up for the retail. : / Ofcourse ... I'd still be breaking the agreement i think even on Retail versions (if I...
Also does this agreement change at all from OEM/RETAIL Premium or OEM/RETAIL Ultimate or is it all the same.
I am sure i can think of many more questions as one gets answered 4 more pop up <sigh>
I've been reading everywhere on the difference of oem vs retail. I appear to have gotten alot of confirmations but with MS you never really know when and if that might change. As a enthusiast I constantly change hardware. I don't mind phone activation.. but I am wondering...
If I go with...
There are alot of questions and rumors flying around about vista, it's various agreements for oem or retail and what's all involved. It would be really nice to see Anandtech do a article on it to clear some stuff up. Many of us are fast approaching the time where we are looking at moving to...
