    $20 for $40 Newegg gift card, Tomorrow 11/28 only!! @ googleoffers **DEAD**

    Got it too, thanks!! it was confusing as you had to order the gift card on google wallet which would then give you the code. I thought for a minute there all you had to do was click it and it would give you a coupon code.

    650i Abit FP-IN9, can it support ATI Crossfire?

    I picked up this 650i board and a cheap ATI 4670 card and thought it might be fun to get another cheap 4670 and crossfire them. I just noticed that the card doesnt have the crossfire connector on it but that it might support bridgeless crossfire. I then read that the Nvidia chipsets dont like to...

    Acer with LGA775 and Pent D, want to use C2D

    I checked acers support site and the bios notes dont indicate which CPUs are supported. all I could find was P4 class processors in all the model derivatives of that series. I dont really want to risk blowing out a E6300 in it... I ordered a different motherboard, oh well. I mean is there a risk...

    Acer with LGA775 and Pent D, want to use C2D

    I have an acer veriton 6800 which, on their site, lists up to a Pentium D as the fastest CPU the line carried. it has a 945 chipset motherboard so in theory it could work with a C2D such as the E6300 in it but I dont know for sure. 1. anyone know if this mobo supports a core series cpu and 2. if...

    P965 DS3 with E8400?

    I can confirm that my board died after I tried it with the E8400 also. I had the E6600 in there for a year with no problems, put in the E8400 and it wouldnt post. I just figured that it didnt work and never tried the board after that. I ended up selling the board and the person who got it...

    Is there a WAP version available of the forums, something to use with pocket IE/smartphone?

    PM email notifications?

    That stinks. I saw some things eluding to that but I didnt believe that such a standard feature of forums would be missing. kind of makes it hard to stay in touch with people especially if you are trying to sell stuff. is this something that is in to works at some point as it would be very useful!

    P965 DS3 with E8400?

    I have heard that rev 2.0 and higher will work, but dont quote me on it. Got my P35-DS3L up to 450FSB running 4.05Ghz baby!

    P35-DS3L; good choice for E8400 OCing?

    anyone have xp OC the 8400 on this mobo? Im going to put an aftermarket cooler on the NB, it needs to hit at least 450fsb for me. whatdja think?

    P965 DS3 with E8400?

    I flashed to 13O bios with the E6600 and it was working fine. popped in the E8400, doesnt boot. turns on for a second, then powers off. if you hit the power button it turns on and all the fans run, but doesnt post. DONT waste your time with the rev 1.0 board!!!! get a P35-DS3L or something.

    P965 DS3 with E8400?

    Anyone have any luck with the 13O bios using the E8400 on the 965 Rev 1.0 mobo? I am waiting on my chip but managed to get the FSB up to 425 with my existing C2D. Im shooting for 4Ghz, but at 9x I dont think this board is going to work, even if it runs the E8400 at all.

    im just going to wait in line at 4AM and see what happens. I would also like that $375 laptop, if there are any left.

    Scratch all that crap I said. apparenly you have to call about 5 times to get a straight answer at BB. from what im being told now, you cant return/rebuy a sales item; they look at is as though its a price match on a prior purchase. im not sure how this is a prior purchase though because I would...

    OCing Ancient P3

    1.4 is the fastest they made for P3, I believe. I doubt you will be able to get much more than a couple hundred mhz out of it... hardly worth it.

    Any1 know of a program that lets you run component in?

    Ya, but its a pain. Plus its not seamless with media center so you cant use it and click change channel to watch something else. also, that capture card probably doesnt work with media center either so there really is no solution. I dont understand why its so darn expensive for component in!!
