Hey EdibleTarget, Resurrecting your old question here. Just wondering if you ever got your sleep problems figured out with this motherboard (I have the same one and the same problems). Mine will go to sleep, but sometimes it will reboot before finishing going to sleep. More often though it...

I'm curious why nobody's mentioned the highly regarded BenQ FP241W 24" LCD? That's what I got based on all the good reviews: http://www.smartratings.com/re...computers/monitors/160 It's kinda pricey though. 200 something page thread at [COLOR="Blue"]ardForum on it too... TTYL, --Kyle

Hi All, I recently got a new EVGA 8800 GTS 512 to go in my EVGA 680i motherboard with Core 2 Duo 6600. Everything had been working fine with this system, but I formatted it and installed Vista x64 and gave it to my son. Now the computer locks up often with the screen going black, white, or...

What's the diff. between that and the XtremeGamer that's $3 less and no mail in rebate required? Obviously the two look a lot different tho - the Music is a larger card for one thing... Thanks, --Kyle

Thanks for the excellent article, YOyoYOhowsDAjello, and for the link to it. I'll stick with analog and go with one of the 3 X-Fi sound cards I listed. Not sure which yet. Do you know if there's any difference between the two X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional Series cards (the one w/ and...

Hi All, Would there be much benefit to getting a sound card with SPDIF out (for games, music, etc. - not home theater)? Would it be of any benefit with Z-5500 or Klipsch ProMedia Ultra (do they have SPDIF inputs)? I've been thinking about getting a new sound card (currently just an Audigy)...

Well, I'm not yet decided on the Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1 (about $130 more expensive on PriceGrabber) vs Logitech Z-5500 (now that I know it uses regular wire). Magazines like Maximum PC and PC World prefer the Logitech anyway IIRC... I see the benefit of a receiver and higher end...

Well, I built the house, so running speaker wire was easy :) I did it well for my home theater - this is really just for games and music while at the computer... A) I would consider the Klipsh - had forgotten about them. Can they still be found new? I'd like something more along the line...

Hey guys, I can't find a decent PC speaker system (other than maybe the m-audio system which looks very large and a little more than what I want to spend). Any suggestions? I'd get the Z-5500, but you can't use your own speaker wire for the rear satellites (I have wire already through the...

Hi All, I've read a lot about this firewall and memory leaks, but everything I've read is from mid 2005... Have any of you had problems with nSvcIp.exe growing out of control and found a solution? If so, what was the solution? I like the firewall other than this problem and would prefer...

Did you ever find a resolution to this issue? I'm having about the same issue (stuttering in games with otherwise great frame rates - also in videos and DVD) using the same motherboard. It seems like a software issue to me, but maybe not - especially if you've done windows XP reinstalls...

Well, this is actually for a new PC - don't even have the parts ordered yet. So no, I haven't done any testing yet... Tweakin, thanks for your suggestions. Can anyone else confirm that this would be the best strategy? I don't think I want to push for 300 FSB - that's too much stress on the...

Thanks guys, I'd actually seen that article at SPCR, but I was hoping I could just get an adapter instead of building a switch like that... Since there were no pictures of the Froogle result, I can't be sure, but I believe I need the reverse of that (what you posted would allow a 3 pin fan...

Could someone explain to me how (what I need to get) to connect Nexus 120 mm 4 pin fans to a fan controller? Thanks, --Kyle

I'm considering the following case fans and was wondering which may provide the best airflow with the least amount of noise. I'll put one as an intake in my case and one as an exhaust. I also may use one on top of an XP-120 or Scythe Ninja if I don't get the Zalman 7700-Cu for my CPU...
