Deal is dead now.

Well, the code is now dead and the car id 99.99 before the rebate. I am kicking myself for not getting in on it last night when the code was working. Arrgh!

How does this card compare to the PCI-E version? Is AGP slow enough to justify a mobo upgrade?

Is it really worth it when you can get an x1950 for $20 more? Link

I was about to bite, and now they are out. Wish I was quicker on the draw.

Thanks. That helps. I'll be troubleshooting this during this weekend.

So I guess what you are saying is just shut it down, and while it is in the middle of the 'beep that will not end', reset the CMOS and step it up a little bit at a time. Any thoughts on what is causing this? The machine runs great when it is on. It is stable at 2.284 Ghz with FSB 250, Corsair...

I have a new problem that I haven't seen mentioned before. I just oc'd the board, and everything works great. Except when I shut the machine down. When it completely powers down, I get the mother of all beeps, just one long, very loud beep that never stops. Even when I unplug the machine the...

Well they are back on ebay. With the comments by furballi, I have to ask if it is worth to path this one up in favor for something like the Thermaltake Blue Orb or the like. Will this combo really need that kind of cooling? I am about to build mine tonight, now that the (oem, non-heatpipe)...

Damn, if I had only waited one day longer! I think I might pick one up anyway. Quick, while the wife isn't looking...

But it is cheaper than the one you listed. I really want to get this thing running. I plan on watching for the beloved quad-pipe hsf, but as there are none (at the moment), I went the least expensive route. Honestly, noise isn't such an issue for me. I currently have 4x80mm case fans plus the...

Thanks. Just bought it. I thought the old hsf from my old socket 754 mobo would work, and well, it didn't. I have the new mobo, now I am jonesin' to run it. [twitching]

Will this hsf fan this mobo? hsf from ebay TIA.

I was wondering if anybody here has tried this mobo with Ubuntu. It is the flavor of the month at the homestead, and I would really like to keep it that way. Does anyone have experience with it, or any other distro for that matter?

Congrats, MOUKIE007. I have a couple of questions before I assemble my new comp when I get it tomorrow. 1) What is the best way to burn in the processor? 2) Should I try and OC it as much as I can, and then burn it in, or should I burn in with stock settings? 3) What are the stock...
