How would the Matrox cards (like the Parhelia, P750 or even the P650) compare to the Nvidia Quadro line? Do Quadro cards also have the seperate "hardware" per channel? Like, Matrox boasts that they have dual independent RGB/DVI-out at 400MHz each. Do Quadro have the equivalent or better technology?

Looking for a new processor, and while reading reviews (specifically of 3.0 northwoods) I keep seeing users mentioning the term "30 capper". Could some enlighten me as to what that is/means? Thanks.

The MSI board does aswell... (865PE Neo2-FISR)

Warning: Newbie question... Could someone either tell me why the first one or two PCI slots are said to "share resources" with the AGP slot? Or point me to some online tutorials that explain why? I don't even know what to search for. Second, if the first two slots do indeed share resources...

Hey guys, Has anyone tried to run a Built by ATI Radeon 8500 (non LE) with the Intel 845PE motherboard? I just put together that setup and tried installing the new Catalyst drivers (3.2), and now everytime I boot, after the windows 98 splash page I get a popup saying that my display adapter is...

I've been contemplating this one also and I thought that spec for spec, the fact that the Maxtor is ATA 133 as opposed to WD's ATA 100 would obviously mean better performance from Maxtor's DM+9. Any thoughts?

*bump* I'd like to know what are some of the revered PC TV Tuner cards as well... rbV5? Maybe you have an opinion? Please do share! :)

Hey guys, Is there a way to tell the stepping code from the outside of a retail box? Thanks...
