    CM Stacker 830 vs Lian Li V1100 vs Silverstone TJ07 ?

    i bought a stacker 830 on monday and received it yesterday. i haven't had that much fun putting a build together in a long time. everything was toolless and easy after i RTM. a general disclaimer of "do not get this case if you're limited on space" is in order because the thing is...

    a little off topic, but hey, it's my topic... question: i'm currently using BIOS mod137 or something like that for a Neo Plat 2 is there a way to flash the BIOS w/in windows like you can do for ATI cards and such? I was thinking about trying the 136Modded version. i don't have a floppy...

    well, since it was my fault (clicked on the newcastle) they issued an RMA for refund on the newcastle and i ordered the winnie. i talked them into giving me 10 dollars off of next day shipping for it, so it'll be in Monday. :(

    Where to get a moddable X800Pro

    i bought an Abit X800Pro and did that very mod. got it to an XTPE no prob whatsoever. only thing is, it can't do PE speeds, so i had to downclock the core but overclocked the memory. i figure it's about spot on because of it. 25286 3dmark01se, 12445 3dmark03, and 5740 3dmark05 i love it

    @xtknight: here's a Saphire X800Pro Toxic VIVO $499 http://www.newegg.com/app/view...=14-102-384&DEPA=0 here's a Saphire X800Pro NON Toxic VIVO $415 http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=14-102-413&depa=0 would the second one NOT have 1.6ns RAM? where did you find that info anyway?

    NF4 w/AGP?

    just a suggestion. you may want to think about getting the 3200+ over the 3000+, for not that much more, the multi is 10 instead of 9. it's much easier to work with and doesn't take much to OC it. I have the 3000+... and wish i had the 3200+ instead.

    Where to get a moddable X800Pro

    ok good. i think i'll get either the Saphire or Powercolor as they're a little cheaper than the ASUS or Abit models for VIVO.

    Where to get a moddable X800Pro

    I've read in the video card guide that the ASUS X800Pro is the one that most people use. If this is true, and if someone has one, where is the best place to get one to make sure it's 1.6ns RAM? Newegg has the ASUS for 475 bucks or so. I just want to make sure i get a 1.6er to softmod it to...

    So should I get a Neo2 Plat?

    hmm, this isn't sounding good. i guess i'll start a thread and see if anyone else has used this ram in a neo2. I already have an A64 3000+, so I won't order a combo from monarch as it'd just be a waste of money. I'll check out a few more forums to see if anyone can get GeiL to work WELL with...

    Bought a 9NDA3+ in October and the LAN port crapped out on me yesterday. Called Newegg today and there apparently was an angel looking over my shoulder. Either that or I gave the person on the phone enough greif, because she refunded me for the price of the EPoX (just this once though ;) )...

    Problem with my 9NDA3+

    I can't connect to the internet anymore from my comp because the LAN port is doing something funny. the amber and green lights on the LAN port go solid and stay that way for 3 to 4 seconds, then turn off for 1 second, then turn back on, rinses and repeats. I don't know why this happened. I...

    that's the thing, i can't kick the vcore up any more :( the default vcore of the chip was 1.4. then choosing +.20 kicked it up to 1.568 which you see above. really need a modded BIOS to allow for a higher vcore, cuz i know it can handle 1.7+. my barton 2500 was running at 1.75V to get it to...

    Help OC'ing a 939 3000+ on an Epox 9NDA3+

    bump there's a CPU Overclock in the Power BIOS options, but i can't get it to boot to windows past 215MHz. i assume that's the fsb oc, because there's a section in the ram settings to hold the ram at 200MHz or other speeds. i can't quite figure this thing out :/ furthermore, from the...
