$1,500 for the components listed. The X2 and OCZ RAM are good points as is the 7800GT for an extra $75 over the 6800GT with the money saved from switching to OCZ value RAM. For the 3800 X2 matched with the DFI and the an OC would push it to higher performance then an X2 4200 as shown here...

Would the value RAM give me problems if/when I take the system to 4 gig? I've read that the DFI MB can be picky about the RAM used.

Here is a list of the main components that are currently at the top of my list. Athlon 64 4000+ 90nm (Retail) - San Diego core DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR Corsair TWINX2048-3200PRO 2048MB DDR400 XMS3200 BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC PCI Express 256MB DDR3 Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 250GB Serial ATA II...

A: My budget, didn't see this one coming, not full OS upgrade. Labor, they asked if I could do it since I know the applications on the PC's. A: Yes, along with the IT department and it did not work. System would run for two to four hours and then lock up. Even IT is baffled. Talked with...

1) 80% of my current software will not run under XP and no planned porting of the software to operate under XP is planned by the developers. Zero, zip, nada... Tested and verified, even with my IT Department and virtual does not work. 2) My PC's perform a single purpose task, have no Office...

Had a discussion with our IT department at work today when I was informed that all PC's running WinNT in my test lab must be upgraded to Windows XP. They stated that after the first of the year Microsoft will no longer be supporting this OS (WinNT) with patchs/hotfixes and leaving the PC's with...

Installed a new 20Gig hard disk recently and have noticed that some how I partitioned it as two disks. 96Meg for disk 1 and the balance 19+Gig on disk 2 (which is the active partition). When I installed this disk (IBM 60GXP) I had used IBM's HD manager software to partition it and image copy...

Had to install a new master HD to replace a failed HD on my BE6-II (HPT366). The new HD is a IBM 60GXP(ATA100) installed as a Master on my primary HPT366 controller. I also have another IBM 34GXP(ATA66) HD installed as slave on the same cable with the 60GXP HD, (cables are correct and I am not...

Installed a new Linksys 10/100 NIC in my system and was running DIAG to check it out. After passing the tests I noticed a Turbo feature and it was disabled. Anyone know what this feature does? I can find no documentation of this feature, either in the manual (yes, I read them:)) or their web...

I have a particular WinNT PC that does do not allow anyone to paste a copied file(s) or move a file(s) within the explorer window. If you select a file - perform a right-click copy, or tool bar copy, or ctrl+c copy and then go to another directory. The right-click paste is greyed out, nor does...

oops!

damn slow connections!

oops!

I have an NT Workstation here at work that is slooow. What I mean by slow is that with just the explorer window open a right-click to get a pop-up menu takes about 30 seconds to occur. Applications are starting to run slow also. I've swapped memory from another PC of the exact same...
