Nice overclocks! I'm looking to do the same. I've been pricing the 1.6A and 1.8A and came across www.ATACOM.COM and they have the option to buy 1.6A/1.8A that were made in Malaysia. The price difference is $35 for the 1.6A and only $5 for the 1.8A. Does anybody know for fact that the MALAY...

What CD-R(W) are you using?

I just replaced my Sony 4X SCSI CD-R drive with the Acer 12x8x32 ATAPI CD-RW drive. I removed the Sony, then installed the Acer. I tried to burn a data CD and it gave me an error (Nero 5.5.2.4, CDRWin 3.8D, CloneCD 3.0.2.3, EZCD Creator 4.03). The drive reads CDs fine, but I can't burn. Nero...

I built a computer with the Abit BM6 for a friend of mine a year and a half ago. He wants a faster CPU (Celeron 400@600 PPGA, currently). Abit's website doesn't go into detail what CPUs the board can handle. It just says Socket370 Celeron. I was wondering if it can run the 100MHz FSB...

Is there any difference between the two cards? I see them selling for about the same price. They look the same. Can I use the software for the 5.1 with the non-5.1 card, and get the 5.1 features? Just wondering. Later, MacGyver

I just got a MSI 815EP Pro (my ASUS P3V4X died). I am having trouble getting my PIII 600E to overclock to 800 (6x133). I had no problem with the ASUS (was actually running at 6x136). I can get up to 6x127, anything higher won't post. A problem I am having is that when I change the VCORE...

I would get an ASUS P3V4X. I have one. I was thinking about getting rid of it for the Socket-370 version (ASUS CUV4X), but I'm going to wait for the i815E that has NO built-in video. Should be out by the end of the year or early next. Later

I have used every BETA release of DX8. I don't know if it makes a difference over DX7. Until hardware and software supporting DX8 is used, they are not necessary. The latest release is pretty good, though. Later

It seems like a lot of people are having to return a dead KDS monitor after having them only a short while. It seems like it is either cheap parts or poor shipping. I hope it's not cheap parts because I might get one. Mac

I would go with 5.32 for M64. They work the best with my M64.

Does anybody have one of these? I've read pretty good things about this monitor. Looking for some first hand experience. The price is pretty good right now. Mac

It looks like I might go with a Sony. I have also read where many people's KDS monitors are dying on them. I was thinking about the ViewSonic PF790, but I liked viewing the Sony and KDS better. I might have to pay more for a Sony, but shouldn't have any trouble. If I'm going to dish out my...

Thanks for the input. I was leaning towards the KDS, just wanted some personal opinions. Now if I can only find a good price. Mac

I am going to buy a 19" monitor, but don't know which one. I have narrowed it down to: Sony E400 Viewsonic PF790 Samsung Syncmaster 955DF KDS AV-195TF Any first hand experience with these. Any help helping me make my decision is much appreciated. Later, MacGyver1

BestBuy has this monitor on sale (399.99-50.00=349.99). My 17" is dying on me. Was wondering if anybody knows anything about this monitor. It's not on Mag's website. I remember when Mag Innovision was considered very good. Don't know about now. Mac
