Wow thanks for all the great reply's guys. Keep them coming. Very good info I am seeing here.

Ok the prices on both of these have dropped the past few weeks at newegg and both are about the same price running between $219 and $259. I currently am running an X1950XT with 256mb of ram and with the new 24" LCD I am getting would like to upgrade my video card. With my budget it's now...

I went from a 9800 pro to an X800XL. Big time change in performance. Expecially with the 16x pipelines and 256mb ram. It just so happens I am selling my X800XL because I have an x1800XT coming. I will let my X800XL go for $100 shipped. Its a full ATI Radeon model not a 3rd party like...

I got mine in march and its still running 1001 i believe. I tryed before changing the bios to 1005 and nothing would post so I had to revert back to the original. Any suggestions would be of help. Also I would like to know the easiest way to update the bios. I see there is a few different...

Big Wookie. I would run the machine on the original fan for now. Keep an eye on that fan and make sure its working. Mine went bad in 4 months and I had to get a new one from ASus. Keep your new one I have a feeling your will need it. Also the new one is bigger and quieter. I like it...

The problem showed even before i overclocked. Also what do you mean by setting a lock?

I am having an issue with my new 80 gig Maxtor SATA hardrive. I just put my new computer together yesterday and formatted like usual NTFS and installed windows, Office 2000 professional and a few small programs. I then decided to see how much space I still had available thinking I would have...

I just bought this board (A8N-E) on ebay for $90 new. I should have my new system together by the end of the month. I can let you know what I think then. I had one question. If I had 4 512mb ram sticks will it still run them as dual channel? or will it only do that with 2 sticks?

I just built a computer for a friend and seem to be having a slight problem. Everything works great on the computer however when I go to shut down the computer it will start back up by itself after it shuts down. Any Ideas? I heard EZ CD creator has conflicts with windows XP if the version...

I had this problem with my 9700 pro and I would just nudge it a bit and it woudl be fine. Now I got a 9800np and its even worse than before. I got it off ebay and wonder if this is a card iissue or powersupply or Mother board issue. Please...

I pushed on the card upward a bit and all the colors went away. I am thinking one of the contacts was dirty or not hitting against what it should be all the way.

My Radeon 9700 pro is only a few months old and I am eithe thinking this is the vid card or Athlon 2500 processor making these artifacts. I am no overclocking either. My system specs are: Athlon 2500 Barton 512 mb DDR pc2700 ram, ATI Radeon Maya Gigabyte 9700 pro 19" envision monitor. Check...

thanks.
