    AMD 64 OC Blog

    Well, I can say that you're wrong. I am a newbie when it comes to overclocking and Zebo's guide was much more detailed and informative than yours.

    Study: Army Stretched to Breaking Point

    The "list" that you claim as "silly" or "trotted out by the ignorant" is directly from the WAFB site. It's always there since I was staioned there and shows total deployment of our forces throughout the world. Yes it encompasses embassy guards but still involves a tremendous number of personell.

    Study: Army Stretched to Breaking Point

    There are roughly 25% of our military active troops deployed to Iraq. The problem is all the other places they are deployed around the world, the number of places we have troops deployed and the number of troops we actually have would surprise you.... Found this after I posted so I thought...

    Check this budget PC

    Tell her to get the Dell.....that way when it screws up you can just tell her to call Dell instead of getting P/O'ed at you and having you work on it whenever she thinks something isn't right! ;-)

    Negative hype about crucial ballistix 2gb ddr500 pc4000

    Can't say I've ever heard that.......I used to use a lot of Crucial on Intel builds but got away from it because of the cost and AMD's on chip controller negates fast memory for the most part. I have to say though, the 1GB of Ballistix I have does better than everything else I've used...

    Negative hype about crucial ballistix 2gb ddr500 pc4000

    What's the negative except for the cost? I have a gig in one system and like you said, it hits 300.......all I've ever read are positives again, except for the cost.

    items in cart...about to pull the trigger

    For the money difference if you're not going to SLI, stay with the A8N-E. Great board! Have two and both are great and O/C great with an A64 3700+ and an X2 4400+!

    How many of you find this hard to believe?

    Guess it depends upon the price structuring on all the different offerings. I'll reserve judgement until pricing is revealed although this does hold some room for hope. I like Linux, use it daily. Also tried Free BSD and that's nice. I also use Windows daily and as far as gaiming and other...

    Having a tough time between selecting a new highend psu.

    No, I'm saying clearly that for the money, Seasonics are a very good buy, very efficeint and quiet with a good warranty......not a PCPC, but a great buy and solid P/S...

    Having a tough time between selecting a new highend psu.

    Whatever....the sleeving kit worked fine for me and looks as good as any. As far as the cables, how old is your unit because unless yours is like a year old or manufactured a year + ago, the newer 500W+ units have longer leads to accomodate servers and full towers.......it says it on the box!
