Interesting to see there are good boards in both camps that are now getting quite close in price - around the $150-175 range (after MIR...) and the i7 920 is going for a bit less than the i7 860. Most of the reviews seem to be from when the 58 boards were quite a bit more in price - now that...
I'm looking at upgrading platforms from my 939, opty @ 2.75 - to probably something like a i920 as I would like to keep the system for another few years again. It's still decent for many thing, but it's definately not getting the full potential out of my 8800gt judging by the 3dmark scores...
I just installed my new opteron 170 to replace my old 3000+. It seems by reading the forums that I don't need any drivers, but I came across this on the amd site - has anyone tried it?:
AMD Tech driver
AMD Opteron? Processor with AMD PowerNow!? Technology Driver for Windows XP and...
I just got my x1950xt in and I don't have a 6 pin power for the card. I saw an adapter on newegg here - but it's not clear if you should remove the central bottom pin or not - any ideas for this card? And all that said - am I dreaming that my 380 antec supply will be up to the task? The...
After reading the cooler review on toms hardware, I was thinking about ordering the accelero x2 for the 1950xt I have on order to keep things quiet since if you run it at 100% the sound level doesn't increase (or noticeably anyways). The one complaint I've read though is the cooler is a big of...
Not sure if this is my mobo issue or not - epox 9npa+, using the win XP read speed test on the SATA controller, I get the following with my hitachi SATA2 160gb drive:
Theoretical limit - 300
Burst speed - 187.7
Sustained speed - 62.7
Do these numbers sound right or should I mess around...
Anyone having trouble getting the computer to wake after standby? If I force standby (STR), it will wake fine, but if it starts to go to sleep on its own, the HD goes to sleep and won't come back on until reset (I can hear it start to spin up again around POST).
Anyone having trouble with a SATA drive and the epox board? When I try to burn a CD, the computer crashes and the LED on the HD stays lit solid. I have a plextor 716SA and windows shows it as a 716A, so I'm not sure if that's a problem or not. There is a compatibility list on the plextor...
The sonata is about $20 more than the slk3000 case - is it worth the $ for the 380W true power? OK - stop laughing... I'm STILL running a oc'd k62+ @ 550mhz... I'm NOT waiting for the sonata II!!! LOL
