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

    I have the exact same issue. 4x1gb was simply not stable. I just changed to 2x2gb RAM. I bought an E8400 that was a return at Microcenter that is supposed to work, but I can't get it to boot at all. So either the chip is bad, or this rev.3.3 board with the beta F13q just won't work with the...

    Free Windows Vista Business & Office Professional 2007 ?

    Seriously, don't cancel the Vista Business! Send it to me. I'll even give you maybe the $40 (if that much) that the two combined on a W9 is going to add to your taxes. Eventually, you or someone you know will want/need Vista, and it only makes sense to take it almost for free just for filling...

    Free Windows Vista Business & Office Professional 2007 ?

    Thanks for the heads up. I was wondering what the status of this is. I must say however that I will probably wait a while when I get Vista to install it. I don't want to be one of the first guinea pigs.

    Free Windows Vista Business & Office Professional 2007 ?

    The last of my three seminars turned from pending to completed this morning for Vista, but the page does not show the message about shipping in 6-8 and I have yet to receive any emails about any surveys. How long did it take for you guys to get the completed messages?

    Thanks for posting the ZDNET article. I didn't think this was a scam, but now I will definitely do this.

    Nice find. Looks like I'll be doing some video watching especially given the cost of Vista.

    Dead: Antec NEO 480watt Modular PS 59.90 Shipped

    Thanks for the reply. Well, I'm in for one. This is a great price. I figured I had better jump in if I am going to get one as good deals just don't last. I am wanting to go to a black sleeved PSU as I am building a new case and currently have a Fortron Blue Storm. I like the idea of modular...

    Dead: Antec NEO 480watt Modular PS 59.90 Shipped

    Are the cables sleeved in black? I seem unable to find this out anywhere online. I am assuming they would be given that the ATX cable was sleeved in black.

    Intel Core 2 Duo Conroe E6300 for $199 shipped at ZipZoomFly

    I guess that means that two of us are smoking crack as I agree exactly with what you are saying. I bought a X2 4600.

    I ordered a new X2 4600 from outpost today for $249 shipped. That was the best deal I was able to find. I called and they are currently out of stock (like everyone else), but are getting in a shipment in a few days. As for Conroe, I would have considered switching to it more but for the...

    no desktop icons

    AGP is not AGP. What I mean by that is the older agp boards like you have are agp 2x-4x. The newer motherboards and newer video cards as of about the ati 9200-present require an agp 8x slot. Agp 2x-4x and agp 8x have different voltage requirements. I know this because I ran into this situation a...

    Rebooting when trying to print- event 6161 error 259

    Now if this isn't weird. I read a printing troubleshooting article on the MS website. After trying everything else, at the bottom of the article it recommends to do a clean boot. I did that, and it prints. I enabled one at a time and rebooted after each the system.ini, win.ini, load startup...

    I already have it set to not automatically reboot. It reboots anyway and does not give me a blue screen. I just see the error in the event viewer.

    Rebooting when trying to print- event 6161 error 259

    I have a Canon s800 that I have run fine for a year or so with WinXP SP1. I had to replace a motherboard and so I reloaded XP with SP2 and downloaded all XP2 updates. I also have the latest driver from Canon that is compatible with SP2, and all of the other MB drivers and such are the latest...

    Recomend me a PC for a customer

    Take a look at http://www.cyberpowersystem.com/Default.asp . I have not bought from them since I build my own, but right now if I was to go prebuilt, these are the guys I would buy mine from and then just add a monitor. Might be just a little more, but they come with a 3 year warranty standard...

    RMA'D my Mobo, and Video Card

    I am having a very similar problem, except in my case, I have major video artifacting (BFG 6800GT) all of a sudden after 4 months with this setup. I will sometimes boot OK and then artifact, or it will artifact from the start. RMA'd the VC and bought a new MB. I even tried different RAM. Knowing...

    water cooling

    I figured it might as well be a part of my sig. Obviously, you know what I mean. However, I figure that tweaking a computer is still a lot cheaper than jet skis, boats, old chevy's, etc.:)

    water cooling

    What Hardwarrior says it right on track. I have been chewing and reading on watercooling and dove in about 2 weeks ago with a Swiftech H20-220 kit. My main goal was to quiet my system down as well as lower overall temps. I am not a big overclocker. I am just tired of the the jet airplane sound...
