    best socket 939 mobo?

    so you would take this soltek board over a MSI k8n neo2 or whatever asus/abit has to offer? i mean, i figure 100 plus/minus 20 bucks is what i'm gonna spend....so if there's anything better performance wise at like 115-120, i'll chip in a bit more. also i'm not too familiar with soltek...

    Tv tuner card/Vid card conflict

    yup...i have the 4 pin molex in the 6800gt....and it was true that the closer i move the tuner card really close, like within one slot, it actually burns. He (the technician) was testing my system parts (minus mobo, which needs rma) on a gigabyte card. Right now i have a msi k8n neo just to...

    I've ran memtest with one stick for as long as overnight....i'll run them again soon, once school stops being so busy.
