I had 2x256mb Corsair pc2400 that could run at 195fsb (2.5-4-4-11) and would score 2600/2400 on Sandra mem test...also, no errors on memtest...I wanted a gig of memory w/out spending a lot of money so I got one stick of OCZ Premier...btw, by itself it could run at 228fsb (2.5-3-3-11)! Since it...

I have a DVD burner and 3 hds (20, 30, 120 gb)...the 120gb drive is for video editing, the 30gb for files, and the 20gb for OS...how should I set master/slave for all of this?

Do all Bartons o/c pretty well or am I looking for something in particular? Also, would throwing a 1700+ "B" into the mix change anyone's choice?

I'm looking for a few opinions on which to go with...it seems that in general the 2600+ would o/c a bit higher (my friend got a 2400+ to 2400mhz easily with no voltage raise) but the Barton has a bigger cache...they're both about the same price...

Glad to hear you say that b/c I just ordered a NF2 board :)...I passed on the KT600...I don't quite trust SiS yet...maybe next time...

Any info for this chipset yet? I had a via 266a board and it was great to be able to lower cpu temps with it...

You figured out what I was wanting to buy :)...I had a Dragon+ (via 266A) and it just died on me so I've been looking at the Biostar board or the KT600 boards...people seem to say to go for NF2...I figure it's time for a change...

So you're saying if I order it right now I'm good on the rebate huh? Can someone confirm one more time to give me the a-ok to go for it so I can relax?

I want to buy a m/b that has a rebate that is good through 8/31 (tomorrow)...newegg says it takes 1-2 business days to "process an order and ship"...by then it'll be past the due date for the rebate...I've never done an online rebate so is it too late or is it based on when I order it from the...

Btw, is the "infinite loop" prob only a via chip prob?

At newegg.com they have the Soyo for $96 and the Biostar for $57 after rebate...I'm looking at these two b/c I don't need the raid, etc...I'll do a little o/c'ing but I don't need to hit 200fsb at this point...I guess my question is: which chipset is "better"? I've been using via boards for...

I need to buy a 19" monitor but will buy a used one (I'm broke)...what are the "best" brands out there over the last 1-3 years for crt monitors?

What pci slot has he tried? For some reason the Dragon+ doesn't like slots 1-3 with Audigy/Live!...try slot 4 or 5...

Excellent...thanks guys...

I recently bought an Antec 400w psu but recently noticed that these Truepower psu's with "dedicated output circuitry for each voltage" are popping up...I can still return the 400w that I have but I was wondering what people's experiences have been with these truepowers...are they as great as...
