    Bought a Nvidia 8800 GTS, but my monitor isn't DVI-I dual-link?

    Actually, here's another cost-saving thought: Can I physically modify my DVI-I dual-link connector into a DVI-D dual-link? Looking at the photos in the link you provided above, the only visible difference are the 4 pin around the flat pin. My guesses are no.. but it's worth asking. :P

    Bought a Nvidia 8800 GTS, but my monitor isn't DVI-I dual-link?

    Ah ok, that clears things up quite a bit. Thank you. :) Unfortunately I bought DVI-I dual-link cables and not DVI-D dual-link cables. Will DVI-D single-link cables work with 8800s?

    Bought a Nvidia 8800 GTS, but my monitor isn't DVI-I dual-link?

    I just bought the following card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130071 And also bought two DVI-I dual-link cables from NewEgg.com, for my two monitors. My LCDs, a 19" and 20.1", are fairly new; 19" is a little over a year old, but the 20.1" is maybe 6 months...

    Windows XP not detecting nVidia RAID drivers! Gah!

    (long post, trying to be as descriptive as possible) I'm kickin' off the new year with not a good bottle of champange but an annoying issue with my PC. Not too fun. :'( I bought two 74GB Raptor 10K drives, and trying to RAID 0 them and install a fresh copy of Windows XP SP2. My mobo is...

    SLI possible: 7800 GT and 7900 GT?

    Simple question: Can the two named cards be in SLI together? To my understanding the GPUs must be the same, which has me believe they cannot. 2nd misc. question: Can a eVGA 7800 GT be in SLI with another manufacturer's 7800 GT?

    Is XP-120 compatible with A8N32-SLI Deluxe?

    I currently have one 7800 GT. I'm deciding to move SLI, and as I (somewhat) understand it the GPUs need to be the same. Will a 7800 GT be compatible with 7900 GT? Also would an eVGA 7800 GT be compatible with a XYZ 7800/7900 GT--i.e. cross manufacturer support? Edit: Also, I currently have...

    Is XP-120 compatible with A8N32-SLI Deluxe?

    Hey all, As the title says, just wanted to know if there are any users of the A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard with Thermaltake XP-120 heatsink. If so, did you encounter any problems during installation? Thanks in advance. ;-) Couple off-topic questions below: 1. Newegg.com is out of...

    BF2 Distant Blurring of Water

    I've just installed my new eVGA Geforce 7800GT CO, w/latest nVidia driver. I noticed in Battlefield 2 distant water is blurry. e.g. http://img493.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bf2blurring1kg.jpg I have my BF2 video settings on highest. I don't recall this rendering issue existing in my...

    Just built Antec P180 system is powering off shortly after boot. (Photo)

    I don't really know the full situation, but from what it seems (and I've read on HardForum) the problems mostly plague Asus A8N mobos (which is the vast majority of people--if not all--posting negative product reviews of it on NewEgg). Seems that board and NeoHE simply don't coexist very well...

    Which case is for me?

    You're asking me about the P180? It's the case I used for my first computer build, and installation is very straightforward so long as you reference the case and motherboard manual accordingly. It took me awhile, but well worth it.

    Just built Antec P180 system is powering off shortly after boot. (Photo)

    Download the Asus Update utility and latest bios file: 1009 Bios: http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket939/A8N-SLI%20Premium/A8NSP009.zip Utility: http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/flash/Asusupdt60101.zip You can install the bios via Windows by selecting the BIN file.

    Which case is for me?

    My vote also to the Antec P180 (picture of mine). Very silent and great airflow. Just make sure you have a good PSU with long cables.

    GeForce 7800GT Heatsink: Zalman VF700-CU or NV Silencer 3?

    What's your reasoning behind that? How does VF700 prevent dust? (or how does NVS do nothing about it?)

    Easy 7800 GTX COOLING MOD 38C on air at idle!

    This mod looks interesting, but is it just GTX or GT also? http://www.newegg.com/CustomerService/F...asp?Module=6&Menu=detail223#xdetail223
