    Asus Sabertooth Z87 owners pci x1 slot 1

    Hey I was just wondering if any Sabertooth owners got their pci x1 slot 1 (top most slot) to work. If you search around you will find that no one can get that slot to work with no other cards in the system and doing all the proper bios settings. (Pci x16 3 to x1 mode and disable esata...

    Creative Recon3D Soundcard Issue

    I just replaced an Creative X-Fi soundcard with a new Recon3D card. Both cards have an internal HDA (High Definition Audio) connector but I cannot get the Recon to detect the front mic. The audio works and is detected when plugged in but not the mic. It worked fine on the X-Fi and I checked...

    dfi, asus vs msi

    I have had the Asus for about 6 months now and had no problems. It's stable and overclocks decently. If you want extreme overclocking then DFI is the way to go. The Asus has been out the longest and has had many (not all) of the kinks worked out with several bios updates. All three are great...

    OCZ Modstream 520w....with Poll!

    I have been using it for about 2 weeks with my A8N-SLi Deluxe and have had no problems. It replaced an antec true 550 and seems to be a little tighter on the voltages actually.

    Hey rivethead, you say the Dell Ultrasharp 1704FPV is a 12ms panel. Where did you read that? It says 25ms on the Dell website.

    Good lord...

    It is just the card itself. No power connector, no cables, no manual, and no disc's.

    Good lord...

    I just ordered an OEM eVGA from monarch computers a few days ago that is in transit. I have yet to see a retail eVGA out anywhere. I don't know much about Gameve, but that's the best price I think your going to find on a eVGA that's in stock.
  20. S

    Good lord...

    You can get the eVGA here for $492 shipped. They also have the retail XFX in stock for $467. Hope it helps ;)

    which video card to get

    PCI Express offers more bandwidth than the AGP bus. It will eventually replace AGP entirely. It would require you to buy a new motherboard and in some cases a new power supply. Since you said you don't game that much I would just save your money and buy a decent AGP card. Any ATI 9600XT...

    We will need some more information to make a recommendation. What is the rest of your system. Do you have an AGP slot or just PCI.

    ATI Radeon X850 XT Platinum Edition

    For all you rich people out there, Monarch Computer is taking preorders for $715. They claim shipping starts January 14th. It's strange that monarch is getting all these pci express cards in stock at once.

    A8N-SLI & Slow SANDRA Memory Benches

    Kingston offers a 2GB kit with 2.5-3-3-7-1 timings. It's not cheap but performance loss is minimal. The reason they don't make them is not because they can't but because it would cost to much to manufacture. -------------- Here --------------

    sapphire x800 xt help please

    The power supply is critical to system stability. You should get the best you can afford. I usually recommend Antec power supplies, but they can be costly. If you are on a budget this 450W Aspire power supply has 30A on the +12v rail and is a good value at 50 dollars.
