I just checked my card and to my disappointment, I read Samsung GC20 :frown: I am still considering trying to flash my BIOS over to the 16 pipelines, but I am wondering what people's experiences with this is? I would make a backup of my original BIOS in case things go bad, but since I am not...

Well, if you lookin my signature you will see I am building a similiar machine to yours,and I have done plenty of reading and researching, along with being flamed and what not :P As far as memory goes, I chose the OCZ Enhanced Bandwidth memory. It comes in PC3500 and PC3700 flavors and is...

I received my 710T from Dell.com the very next day that I ordered it (around 3 days ago is when I recieved it) and I must say, I am very impressed. I too was curious what the "catch" is, being so aggressivly priced and yet having better specs than the 172X, but all I can come up with is the...

That is a good idea and i may just do that. Do you recomend a custom built water cooling system or do the kits put out by thermaltake and coolermaster do ok? ALso speaking of cooling, I was already planning on buying a Cooler Master Hyper 6 heatsink, along with a case full of vantec tornado...

I get the feeling you do not understand something I typed... I dunno. Either way I will proabably end up with an AMD 3500 or 3800+ (3500+ looking better deal though)

Yea I was thinkin I may do that since socket 939 will be a standard, at least for a while. That way with some of that saved money I can put it towards funner things, like my car :thumbsup:

Thats true but ZipZoomFly offers free 2nd day (pretty nice deal actually)

Um, but why not save where you can? Both are reliable companies are they not? And I have a very large budget, which is why I am considering this chip, but just because you have a large budget does not mean you should just squander it away.

I will be playing games on it alot, along with other college assignments heh. And yes Avalon, I do plan on some mild over clocking.

Oh ok, thanks for the info phray!

I am starting to reconsider purchasing the AMD64 FX-53 Socket 939 Chip. I am building a customized desktop and this was going to be my cpu, but recently I have seen an aggrevating trend.... Originally I had the cpu priced for a hefty $811 retail at Newegg.com. Then I saw ZipZoomFly.com had the...

The website says up to DDR400 support... isn't that kind of low? I was really hoping to get PC3700 Enhanced bandwidth memory from OCZ, but I dont know know if this board will support it?

yea I had a hunch BFG and eVGA are nVidia only since I have never seen their name associated with ATI hehe. :P But yea, I do know how to OC a video card. In fact my Ti4200 is OC'ed and runnin fine. I think the difference between 6800U and the X800 XT is so small that I'll just end up going...

Sorry if this post is redundant; I tried searching around on ATV forums and found nothing. Anyways, with the new ?paper-releases? of all these high-end, rape-your-wallet video cards, I decided to hop on the band wagon and bend over? I mean buy one too. My question is which manufacturer, from...

Thanks Mad Scientist :)
