    *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    Thanks for the info - I've run memtest and everything is groovy - no errors after 15 hours. I don't have the PC in front of me but I'm almost positive the mem is at 800mhz with the 5-5-5-18. From what I've learned so far I need to bump the voltage to 2.1 then set the timings manually to...

    P965 or wait for new 590

    Will the new 570 boards have the C55 chipset? I should have asked about the 570 boards, not 590s. Don't know what I was thinking at the time.

    Howdy - I would appreciate some advice. I will be buying a mobo to go with a E6600. I don't need Crossfire or SLI and I won't be OC'ing. I want to know opinions regarding any performance increases I could expect by waiting for a new 590 board and/or even if the increase is worth the extra...

    Wait for DX10 cards or buy now

    Thanks for the help and advice. I was thinking the 512MB memory would future proof me a while. Please explain which spec(s) would prevent me from wanting to keep the card for 4-5 years. I don't play games, I browse, watch movies, and do a little video editing. Core clock 400MHz...

    Anyone have a baby that experienced seizures?

    My second child had symptoms similar to what you describe. I wouldn't call what she had "seizures" but she was definitely shaking. We had her in to see various doctors and found out that it is not all that uncommon. Turns out they said it was normal development. It was simply a matter of the...

    Thanks for your input. I have already done all the things you suggest. MSI is supposedly sending me another BIOS with 1.3 or something. I hope that works and that my Sonata's PSU doesn't cause me further problems.

    I apologize for butting in here with my own question but I really need to know and hope that someone can help me out. I have now RMA'd 2 Neo2 boards. I can't say exactly what the problem is other than the symptom is that they wouldn't POST at all. I have a 90nm AMD 3500+ which I want to use...

    Which mobo?

    I'd stay (which is to say I will from now on) clear or the Neo2. I RMA'd one already and am headed toward a second. I think they're fickle. That's what I think.
