:confused:I keep seeing threads that indicate no problems with the Gigabyte SINXP1394 along side of many that indicate individuals are having severe problems with their new boards. When I went to the Newegg site to study purchasing the board I found that they were not giving refunds with that...

After reading reviews here and at Tomshardware I came to the conclusion that the ASUS P4SDX Deluxe was the best SIS 655 design. However, after looking at the threads at Asusboards I find that almost all the current users of the Asus were having problems related to poor performance or AGP 8X...

:disgust:I just got through getting a refund on my third Motorola 720 cell phone. The phones would not stay connected to the AT&T network from my homes in Eastern Washington state and they would not connect up at all if the phone was more than 10 miles west of Olympia,WA, so I couldn't use...

This has been happening to my Epox 8kha board. I had to replace my power supply and clean the pins on the Mb to temporarily fix the problem. It is not so rare. See threads about the "cold boot problem". I think iin my case at least that the problem is that the stuff on the mb must draw...

:disgust:I have responded to the new thread about this problem above. I believe it to be a defect in the atx power connector. See above.

:disgust:I have had this problem with an EPOX 8KHA board for some time. I found that the +5v (red) lead from my power supply to the Molex power connector on the motherboard was burned black at the connector. I couldn't replace it so I had to purchase a new power supply. Suddenly the booting...

Thanks jhhnn. I wonder if anyone else has found errors with SSndra?

:confused: Thanks. I wonder if anyone else has found a problem with voltages from S-Sndra

I used SiSoft Sandra to list the system characteristics for my mb and got some very strange voltages. I'll tabulate them below: Nominal voltage Measured voltage +3.3...................+1.52 +5.....................+4.62 +12....................+12,16 -12....................+1.63...

After o'clocking my mb with tbird 1200 to 150 fsb x 9.0 everything ran well for a few weeks then I lost the video and get nothing but a mix of verticle black white and colored bars of various widths. I think that the AGP bus did not get properly ratio'd to the fsb, but I'm not sure. I found...

Thanks. This just shows how behind the curve I am. I had thought from casual headline reading that the KT 333 was just an upgrade that allowed networking of computers. I will certainly wait for the upgrade to KT 400 but I'm afraid of VIA new releases based on their past history. Maybe a 333A eh.

I will soon be upgrading my EPOX 8KHA board. After reading the January roundup, I am giving the nod to the ABIT KR7A-Raid board. I would also consider the EPOX 8KHA+ if opinions here differ from the conclusions of that article. I haven't searched other sites for their tests etc. Has anyone...

Go out of the forums and click the motherboards button on the home screen. You will get a list of recent articles. Click on the latest Via 266A board tests run in January. There were a few boards that had what you want. Mainly the ABIT KR7A Raid (best board) and the Epox 8KHA+, I believe...

:confused: I'm again in the market for a new hard drive. I have selected the Maxtor Diamondmax Plus D740X at 40 gigs to upgrade my current HD, but I find that the price searching engines are all coming up with OEM versions. My local dealers have box versions at higher prices. My question is...

I wish that somemone would respond to the question of relative merits of various Ti boards. There are some no-name oem boards availabe for a considerable saving if it doesn't make any difference. I have an ATI 64 DDR Vivo that is almost dead after running a while with my 8KHA overclocked to...
