    mwave e6420 purchase - shipped?

    I purchased my e6420 from MWave on Sunday afternoon, but as of Monday night it still has not shipped. Has anyone else had theirs ship yet? I need it by Thursday and with 3 day shipping, I needed it to go out today (they stated shipping within 24 business hours). This was my first purchase...

    e6420 in stock!!!

    So where are they getting them? Is this a gray market chip? If newegg.com doesn't hurry up, I may end up buying from BLT :-) I've been waiting a month for this chip.

    Running nVidia (primary) and ATI (for TV) cards in same machine???

    I'm in the process of building a new box and am planning on going with a 8800GTO card for graphics. But I am also planning on using my ATI TV catpure card in the same machine. So I will have to install drivers for both cards - IS THAT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM? Has anyone done this??? OS --...

    Wow my 9800pro flashed to 9800xt is running at 78C?

    I ran at 66-69 before I installed my VGA siliencer. Once I installed it, it dropped down to 60-61. (9800Pro 256meg softmod to 9800XT)

    VGA Silencer rev3 - Install ? and Results ?

    First off.... Thanks for the replies. Check my card again today and it appears to be working fine. I'm not sure what the white cord was doing on the original pin (I'm guessing grounding), it does not appear to be needed. As for the HIS card - think I will stick with mine. It cost me $100...

    VGA Silencer rev3 - Install ? and Results ?

    Picked up the on the deal a couple of weeks ago at Newegg for the 256 meg version of the 9800 pro. And yes, it did flash to the 9800XT with no problems. When I first flashed the card I ran it with the stock cooling. My temps were in the 66-69C range. Card seemed to operate fine, but I did...

    What's coming down the pike in regards to NF3-250 Motherboards

    Planning on buying a A64 here in the next few weeks. My biggest problem so far has been the lack of a MB that really gets me excited. I'm looking for more then just the Chaintech... Little too basic for my taste. Also looked at the GIGABYTE GA-K8NS PRO - Nice once again, but it uses the...

    3DMark '03

    Actually... That seems a tad slow.... I've got a 1800+ AMD and ATI 9800 Pro and I get about the same score. The processor doesn't made a HUGE difference, but it does effect the score. I would have expected a score close to 6K for you.

    2800+ Athlon 64 vs 3000+ Athlon 64 for the MSI K8N Platinum?

    What about this for a reason: It puts you in the 3ghz realm. I think that is one reason people opt for the A64 3000+.

    Need to purchase DVD/CD Burner, but driving myself crazy!

    THanks for the feedback! Think I am just going to go with the Lite-On.
