    building a new system

    I don't think the Shuttle AK35GT2R has USB 2.0. I'm looking at building my next one also but can't decide on the Motherboard. I'm looking for USB 2.0 + the 5.1 on board sound.

    Iwill XP333-r does it have front USB connectors?

    Zangrief, I'm looking at the same board (or the Epox 8K2A+) and am concerned with the video card compatibility. What video card are you going to use. I'm planning on the Radeon 8500 Retail. Also, what convinced you that this was the board for you? Thanks

    GeForce3 or Radeon 8500 for an Epox 8KHA+ w/ XP1700

    Thanks for the responses guys. Since I like playing games and not debugging, I'll avoid the combination. I'm looking at investing in an IWill XP motherboard (or EPOX 8K3A but I think I'll avoid EPOX for a while) now anyway. I'm still interested in the 8500 over the GeForce 3 though ...

    GeForce3 or Radeon 8500 for an Epox 8KHA+ w/ XP1700

    Bond, do you have the 8500 and the Epox board? If not, why are you so confident that there is presently no conflict? The only reason I doubt you is that the board has several post concerning that combination.

    I need a Mobo for an XP1800

    Doesn't the Epox 8KHA+ have problems with the Radeon 8500 video card. I was about to purchase both, but read where a lot of people are having trouble with this combination. DOes anyone have an alternate to this board?

    Oldie but goodie - Soyo 5EH question (super 7)

    I had that board in a system that got fried by lightening. I loved it. No temperature monitoring on the board. There are some "unofficial" jumper settings that are supposed to go above 100mhz bus. However, back when that board was being produced, it was rare to find bus memory that would...

    GeForce3 or Radeon 8500 for an Epox 8KHA+ w/ XP1700

    I've been away for a while and need to upgrade the motherboard, memory, chip, and video card. I'm running a Kyro II now and had decided to go with a GeForce 3. However, I've seen good things about the 8500 (but not as good as the GeForce 4 but $$$$). I've read a lot of problems between the...

    Dad's Got an AT sytem running at 500 mhz and looking to put a voodoo 5 PCI into that puppy. I think dad's running with a 235 Watt power supply. Will i run into power problems? The only reason I ask is that I recall something like that being an issue when the voodoo 5's and GForces first came...

    New Enermax CS-A1QX-06

    Only 2 problems I have with the enermax is the lack of holes in the front for intake air, and the fan mount in the back should be higher to get more hot air out. Personally, I would go with the enlight for cooling purposes. However, the power supply tilts the overall decision back to the enermax.

    bad superorb!!!!!

    The super orb is not that good of a cooler. Volcano II if you care about the noise. Many others if you don't care how loud it is. EDIT for blindness

    Trying to decide which chip to get. THus, I have a question concerning the abit zm6? The latest BIOS on the abit site says it supports celeron II cpu up to 600 mHz. However, I have heard that it only supports cBO steppings (1.5 v/Core default) of the celeron II's. Does anyone know (is...

    socket 370 HSF = socket A HSF???

    If I'm reading this correctly, In most cases you can put a socket A clip and heat sink on a socket 370 cpu. However, putting a socket 370 heat sink on a socket A cpu requires too much pressure and may damage the socket A cpu. Is this correct? If so, what I want to do will work. I want to put...

    socket 370 HSF = socket A HSF???

    I suspect the answer to this question is not a simple one but here goes. Are socket 370 Heat sink and fans interchangable with Socket A HSF? I'd like to put a volcano II (made from socket A) on a Cel2 socket 370. Will it fit? Thanks
