    Upgrade timing? Better to wait?

    I've currently got a DFI 875B MB, Intel 3.2Hgz, 2gigs 3200Crucial RAM and an ATI X850XT video card. Overall I am pretty pleased with the setup, though BF2 and CS2 run a bit laggy beyond 1280x1024 with any AA beyond 2x on. I'm considering an moving to a DFI SLI-DR Expert, AMD 64 4000 and...

    DFI 875B Ethernet trouble...

    I am in the process of reinstalling XP w/sp2 on a system with a DFI 875B motherboard. I've downloaded the drivers from DFI's site (they have one .zip for Lan drivers which covers all OS) but XP does not recognize any of the .inf files as suitable for the board and when I run the setup it tells...

    DFI Lanparty 875P-T

    3-4 weeks ago I purchased a DFI 875P-T MB, Intel CPU and 2gigs of Corsair RAM as a built-out for one of the manager's at my work (not my selection of hardware, just puting together what they picked out). Upon receipt of the board, I found that it would not boot. Reset everything, tried 2...

    Major Comp. Problems - Possible board issue?

    I've currently got an Albetron 845 PVE Pro and am in the process of seeking a replacement due to what I believe to be a bas board.

    Alright, I know this questions gets asked 1000 times, but I need some input on a solid 865/875 solution.

    Is the EP-4PDA2+ no longer available?

    This was one of the better boards I've had experience with and with my current board in death throes, thought I'd pick one up. According to Epox, it's still available but I haven't found one anywhere and even Pricewatch doesn't have it listed. Anyone know anything?

    Temp monitoring on a Alb. 845PEV...

    OK, just finished putting my new machine together and have thus far been delighted with how easy it was to get it to OC. I am presently running a 2.4b at 2.88 with the voltage bumped up from 1.525 to 1.55 and the RAM running at DDR400. In the bios, it shows the chip running at @42C. However...

    OK, I recently got some new hardware in and am in the process of doing my upgrade. This is my first Intel board in some time (have been using VIA chipsets for the last several years) and want to make sure that everything goes smoothly on my upgrade. I know that on the VIA boards, one always...

    CPU and memory pricing index??

    There used to be a fairly regular pricing index of CPU, memory, and video card pricing that appeared on Anandtech every 1-2 weeks. I haven't seen one in probably a month or so though. Has this coverage been suspended from the site? Should we expect to see it again or?

    Pretty much sums it up. Anyone know if this is now a dead-issue for Anandtech? I know at one time it was Sept., then mid Sept., then next week, etc., etc. Any official word on this?

    8IGXP? Anyone know if this is vaporware or not?

    Another good review of this board was over at Tom's Hardware. I have been patiently waiting for this board for some time, and as of yet, have had zero luck finding any info on when it was coming out. I am really disappointed to see that reviewers were given a board that, by all comparisons, is...

    845G Roundup?!

    What ever happened to this roundup? Is there still to be a review or, with the review being a little dated, are we to wait for the next round of "G" and "E" boards for a review? There used to be a sticky topic on this, but I didn't see it up there now, so any info would be helpful...
