I'll be trying that saturday, along with a video card switch out. I have the same one in my system. The one thats not working is my dads..whoopsie.

Woops, Forgot to mention that. Yes its an enermax. 475w? Very good powersupply. I learned my lesson with that already on an old PC :)

Ok. First off, here are the specs MOBO: DFI Lanparty Ultra-D nforce 4 non SLI CPU: A64 3500+ Winchester core Ram: Generic 1 gig corsair dial kit Vid: Geforce 6600GT PCIe Here's the thing, I cant even boot up with the thing. Half the time it gets stuck on the Boot logo. "DFI LANPARTY"...

Bing That did it for me. Thanks :) I had suspected that 939 was the forward step, but was not sure if it was my imagination or not. Thx :)

That answers some questions. But still leaves me with 754 vs 939. Both will be prevalent in the future? Meaning If I want to swtich CPU's I have to buy a New Mobo? Or is one taking over? And where does .09micron fit in to this. :confused:

Ok. So which is faster? The 3500 or the 3400. In all the benchmarks I could find, Anandtech,Tomshardware,HardOCP. They either chose 1 or the other. None had both at the same time. The 3500 is 939pin. Is that the way of the future? If thats the case why did anandtech review the 3400 in...

Hi! I put a long post in general hardware, it got ignored and is now history :). Im trying again here with a much shorter post. I will be hooking up my new PC to my Entertainment center in a few months. I will prob buy a GeForce 6600 vid card and an audigy 2 for sound. What is the Best way...

I was thinking about the audigy 2. Probabally my best bet for sound. I will probabally go with the 6600 video card, but that alone is not going to give me the video quality I am looking for I dont think. Thats where I need the help :)

I am going to be building a new case come december/january. I am waiting until then because thats when I will be moving into my new place with my new huge desk. Here is the design of my PC so far, it may change in a few months, but not much. CPU: AMD 64 3500+ or higher MOBO...

Hrm. I really like this case also. If you find out who carries it let me know. Im sure somebody from austraila can ship it.

I like aspire cases. I build PC's for some people and have used about 3 of them. They are OK. But not great. I was actually thinking about this case for my next personal build somewhere in december/january. A couple things, I am not to fond of the lights on the front, and there is no...

I talked to my friend. His software that he uses does take advantage of Hyperthreading. So thats a plus. He was looking at getting dual 244 opterons. He is not doing it for a buisness, just personal stuff. If it were me I would go for a AMD 64 3200+. But that is just me. Much more bang...

I have a friend who wants to upgrade his computer so he can do much better with his audio/video editing. I am not sure what programs he uses, but he promises me one of them requires 1.5gigs of ram. Currently he has a Dual P3 1gig Hrz system with 1.5gigs SDram. He was telling me he wants to...

Got it working. I had to reinstall windows. I'm not quite sure if the system is stable. I'll find out by playing with it for a few days. Thanks for the help guys. I was freaking out and was not thinking straight about the 166 x 2 multipler.

Sigh. I MAY have gotten it working. The stupid BIOS decided that it should boot from the HD before the CD. So i changed that and i can boot from the CD. So maybe i should have installed the SATA drivers from the mobo cd first. But we will see, im still expecting it to crash and the CPU to die on...
