9 months! Thats huge, my fan on my a8n-sli deluxe lasted 3 weeks :o

well I got my mx518 and in every way it's awesome. I thought nothing would match the feel of my MSIME3.0 but I was wrong! :)) A++

I didnt like my mx1000, i lifted the mouse to frequently and the laser always went to sleep. Sold it to someone who uses a realy high sensitivity and doesnt move the mouse off the table at all, hes extremely happy. Waiting on my mx518 atm... R.I.P ms intellimouse explorer 3.0 :)

I would recommend the X2 3800+ Ive recently bought an X2 3800+ after using a 3500+ for about 6 months and it is so much faster. I also have it running fine at 2.25ghz rather than the default 2.0ghz clock speed. My board is an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe, good board only one problem, the chipset...

G'day anandtech forum members, I will be changing my cpu (currently a 3500+ clawhammer) to an Athlon X2 3800+. I have updated my bios to the latest available (a8n-sli deluxe) so it is ready to take an X2 processor. Just a quick question, will I need to reinstall windows (currently windows...
