Based on these screenshots I went out and bought one of these. Circuit city has them today for 299, with a $10 rebate. There is also a 40 off 200 coupon around that they "might" accept (they took mine). For the 279-ish I paid out the door I am extremely happy with it. I was originally...

Quick question- which I *should* know the answer too, but... I have an AMD s939 system, and have the choice of 2x512 @ DDR450/2-2-2-5 or 2x1GB @ DDR500/3-4-4-8. In both cases the CPU (Venice 3200+) will be running 2.25 ghz (x10 and x9, respectively). For purely gaming which ends up being...

I just returned from Steamboat Springs, CO. BY FAR the best vacation I have ever been on in my life. I spent a week there, and by the end of the week I was shredding! It *almost* makes me not want to go back - only because it SUCKS leaving! Damn! I will be keeping my eye on this thread...

This model was on 15% sale about 2 months ago, for just a couple of days. It's usually the 10% off. Wish I would've picked one up on the 15% sale...I've been watching this item for months! Argh. I think I might bite on the 10%, just cuz I have been waiting so so long for a new monitor.

Hello all. I was planning to upgrade fairly soon to one of the new winchester core a64's and a nforce4 mobo, probably after the second revision of the nforce4 silicon hits the streets. (Once all the kinks are worked out...) Right now I am running an AXP 2100+ that can be overclocked by...

I seem to be having very similar problems here. Everything works fine BUT 3D games. Although I have found that reducing my FSB to 333 fixes the crashes 100% as far as I can tell. The more I think about it, I believe my problem lies in low +5 and +12 rails from my PSU, even though it is a...

I've been having a very frustrating problem with my computer thats dragged on for many months. I've finally decided to solve this problem once and for all, no matter what it takes. I'm hoping someone here can give me some suggestions. At this point I have tried literally EVERYTHING short of...

I'm looking to buy one of these too, or the 912SB. Anyone have anything good/bad to say about either?

Well cripes. I seem to have discovered my problem. Freakin 6xAA and 16xAF will certainly lower benchmark scores! Doh. Stupid me forgetting I had those settings. Anyways, Leo, as stupid as it sounds, make sure you check your AA/AF settings before benchmarking. I got so used to them I forgot...

After reading this message I did a little testing of my new 9800NP. As I suspected, I've experienced almost the exact same problem. What a bummer... I hope I haven't ruined my new vid card :(

MY BBA 9800 Non-pro from Best Buy came with the 2.86ns (-GC2A) Samsung. You can always return within 30 days, so whats the harm in trying? It flashed to a pro with no problems, running stock pro speed (378/337 I think?) now. It will clock to 400+ core and 350+ memory with no problems too...

Interesting thread... I'm in a similar situation but have already done the CPU/RAM/Mobo upgrade - to a 2100+ @ 2.17ghz, 512meg PC2700, Nforce2. But I'm still running a GF2 GTS! Is a $199 9700NP gonna make that much of a difference over a 4200? I mean, most of todays games should be totally...

I realized after I posted that the NForce2 can change the CPU multiplier! Silly me was stuck in the old days, i.e. pencil trick etc. Seems like 166FSB @ 12.5 multi and 5-2-2-2 timings will work. Prime95 torture test running fine ATM.. Thanks for the replys, it looks like I just need a bit...

Hello .. I only have a minute to post, so little detail atm. Anyways, I just put in a new NF7-S 2.0 board to replace my old KT3 Ultra v1.0. I had some Kingston HyperX PC2700 running like 162 FSB with "Normal" timings on the KT3 Ultra, was as high as it would go stabily. Anyways, I was thinkin...

Thanks for the replys guys. I've now configured my router to drop all incoming TCP and UDP packets on ports 135-139. After reading the http://61.129.75.229/~antimessage.com/ site, I'm fairly positive this is the origin. What a crock! I've been very successful at avoiding email spam, now...
