Congrats to everyone that got their tracking number. I got my UPS tracking number, and like the poster above, it isn't actually working yet. It probably hasn't even started its journey since it is just standard shipping. I've been looking high and low for one of these since hearing about it...

I called Nova on my lunch and it took 15 minutes to communicate my situation with the guy I got, and at the end of the call I came to understand that I got one of the boards, that it will ship today, and I should get my tracking number at the end of the day today. It seems to me like this is...

hopefully the website updates when they run out of stock, and they aren't going to show up to work tomorrow with 100 orders and 10 boards :D

just found a place with the A8N-SLI in stock and for $201 ordered one. enjoy Here

I have no clue what card was in my Leading Edge 386, or my IBM PS/2, but the ones I actually know of are: ati rage 3d 4mb + 3dfx voodoo 2 12mb geforce2 geforce3 MX440 geforce4 TI4200 geforce 6800gt pcie

This is probably because of the growing tendency for people with vast amounts of knowledge about a technical topic to call the OP a noob, insult the OPs intelligence and to leave the OPs questions unanswered. I remember fondly the days when intellectual superiority was never a factor on the...

There is obviously more to this story, and either you are leaving it out to keep from looking bad, or else you don't know. However, I would theorize that the girl had developed an obsessive relationship with you, and when you did not appear to reciprocate those feelings she had for you...

You hook it up to the heat sink.

The main reason for this is that the 3200 sticks are 2-2-2-5 latency memory, whereas the 3700 and 4000 sticks are 2.5-3-3-8 latency memory. The 3200 is more expensive because it is lower latency. The 3200 can also hold its low timings pretty high up in frequency. Lastly, it is popular and...

This would be a good combo: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (Winchester) ASUS A8N-Ultra motherboard (nForce4) OCZ PC-3200 Platinum Rev. 2 ATI X800 XT Platinum Edition

The OCZ PC3200 Platinum Rev. 2 seems to be some of the best overclocking memory you can get. OCZ allows you to increase voltage to 2.9 before voiding your warranty, and Anand had this memory in his 3000+ Winchester test machine that did 2.6 GHz, at a FSB-Multi of 290 x 9. That seems like...

Saying that a processor is "locked" means that you can't increase the multiplier above a set number. You can, however, lower the multiplier below that set number, and you can also increase the HTT (AMD's front side bus) speed. So, for example: To reach a speed of 2.6 GHz on all 3 of the...

I'm sorry. Only one in five voters quoted "moral values" as their primary reason for voting. Hardly a significant number. And although Billy Madison was a funny movie, I don't think anyone quoting it for a signature should be telling me to grow up.

The only reason that Bush was elected is because Americans obviously think it is more important to put a stop to homosexuality and abortion than it is to improve the economy, foreign policy, health care, and education. To the republicans gloating here, if you were proud to wear that stigma...

I think that it is more likely Newegg recognizing strong demand for AMD parts right now, so they're milking it for profit. The 90nm processors are selling like hotcakes because of their overclocking ability. Much like Thermalright heat sinks are suddenly out of stock everywhere.
