pulsedrive: Thanks for the response. Unfortunately the manual (all of one page), just defines the connector (Fan Monitor Connector). No additional information is supplied, and no pin out is given. -snap-

This is a newbie question, and one where the answer is probably obvious, so any assistance would be most appreciated: I have an MSI Neo 4 Platinum mobo, and a Seasonic Super Silencer PSU. I am hooking up the case fans and the PSU, and a couple questions came up: 1. --- (answered) 2...

Bonesdad - what was the issue with your card? If you decide upon another card, please let me know as I am trying to figure out a substitute card for a Leadtek. -snap-

I've emailed Leadtek and will let you know if I get a response back from them. I called Newegg regarding this card, and they indicated that since it is no longer on their site, they are no longer carrying it. ZZF was unable to give me an ETA. All other retailers that I have checked do not...

Does anybody know whether or not the Leadtek 6600GT PCI-E card has been discontinued or when retailers like Newegg.com or Zipzoomfly.com might get the card in stock? Is there another retailer that I don't know about that has it in stock (not at some exhorbitant price). Finally, and I know...

It looks like you're looking at AV racks. A site that I purchased my stereo rack from is http://www.racksandstands.com Their prices are reasonable, and their service seemed to be impeccable. Hope this helps. Good luck! -snap-

Actually $273 was for retail, I've been following the retail 3500 prices closely. So when might we expect Venice chips to be available in online retailers? I'm looking to complete my build, and need to buy the mobo and CPU. -snap-

Anybody have any idea of what the power consumption of the chip is at stock clock speeds? I'm just wondering if it is more power hungry than a Newcastle, Winchester, etc? Thanks. -snap-

Actually, after doing some reading on HardForums, I am back to leaning towards the MSI. Main reason being the passive cooling on the GB, which has spelled trouble for a number of people - early board failures, etc. Good luck with the DFI. I was thinking of getting that board, but the lack...

Serial/Parallel are important to me - Parallel printer, granted I could get a new printer, but why bother? Serial is great for doing side-projects, when you need to connect a piece of hardware to the serial port. Again, I could use my current PC to do that stuff, but why bother...

I'm interested in both boards you've mentioned, plus the MSI NF4 Ultra board. I am leaning away from the DFI due to RAM issues that some have encountered, plus the fact that it does not have all the ports that the MSI offers. I'm curious to know if the Gigabyte mobo will have any issues with...

Have any of you looked at the Gigabyte GA-K8N ULTRA-9 nForce4 Ultra board? They seem to use a passive cooling solution for the chipset. I'm wondering if heat is an issue, but I have not found any reviews that address this. -snap-

Looked at the specs, and it looks like the same as the GA-K8NXP-9, save for the 802.11 PCI card and DPS. The one difference I've noticed between this board and other NF4 Ultras, is that there is no fan on the chipset. Do you think heat could be a major issue? Reviews of the GA-K8NXP-9 did not...

Does anybody have any reviews on the Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-9? I see this board going for $155 on Newegg and have been wondering if it is worth getting over the MSI K8N Neo 4. Also, I see a number of different Gb LAN solutions, be it Marvell, nVidia, and others. Is there any difference...

All right, let me make this as succinct as possible: - Been using a USB 2.0 card reader in my USB 1.1 machine for over a year. It is a 6-in-1 reader by EDGE Technologies. - Running Windows 2000 SP4. No issues whatsoever. - Today, for some reason the various drives related to the...
