Hey, I want to get the DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D and the XP-120. Well I heard there is a compatibility problem with that heatsink and the motherboard, so my question is can i still use it? This is from the Thermalright website: "First PCI-e slot blocked by Heatpipes" Well, on the Ultra...

As someone said before i would just get a nForce4 Ultra mobo now, get some normal ram, I would recommend some 2-2-2.5 but that might be an overkill, I don't really know, and I would also recommend getting just a A64 3000+ 90nm S939, you could easly overclock to 3500+ speeds (and more I think...

Get one of them 10k RPM blade server type hardrives, 2.5inch, for the best performance

Did he make a good ram choice, I mean I am tempting to buy 2-2-2.5 memorey probebly from G-Skill or pqi.Also why did he get an SLI if he's not gonna dual card the thing now, I mean think about it in a year there is probebly going to be nforce 5 or whatever and you would want a whole new mobo, I...

Found it, here is the article and underlined and bolded the disadvantages of the nForce4 chipset nForce4 - the basic value chipset for 939 and754. This is the chipset that you will likely find in Socket 754 and low-end Socket 939 boards selling for less than $100. The nF4 is targeted at...

Thanks

Anyway I'm not going to buy any of those cards, but right now I got a grand (plus some money I can squeeze from my dad, I don't have a job, 14, arghh) and I'm thinking of getting this system when all the parts come out: AMD A64 3000+ S939 90nm, ATI X800XL PCI-E, 2X512MB pqi or G-Skill 2-2-2.5...

What if I already have WIN XP installed, what to do, do I have to reinstall the whole thing all over again, although I might be getting a new video card soon, so I might have to reformat anyway.

I want to setup a dual boot for both the OSs I listed, what's the best way. The reason why I'm doing this is because I heard WIN 2K is faster then WIN XP. P.S. If I ever want to get read of the dual boot with erasing WIN 2K and not WIN XP and vise versa. Thanks

I don't want to spend too much right now for a 9700/9800PRO, I have $900 but I'm waiting to get more and to wait for pci-e on the AMD platform.

What about the PSU? I was looking online and found this PSU http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=17-153-006&depa=0 [EDIT]: I'm pretty sure my old mobo only supports 20 pin connection, and I don't lknow if this comes with an adapter, also if you know a better power supply for roughly the same...

I saw 2 refurb 9600XT (the ones I want) on NewEgg and I want your opinion on which one is better, in terms if I ever when to do a vmod or any other mod, right now I think the sapphire is better, also when I'm getting this I will get an Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer REV.3, also should I get some...

Thanks I'm getting this Cable

I know this isn't about computers and I couldn't find a good forum to post this on, if you know please tell. Anyway at my local Gamespot I saw two types of component cable, one was a regular one (think it was mad-catz) and the other one was a Monster Cable one, so my question is do you think I...
