    Saw this when searching. Figured it to be an open-box or refurb at this price (though it doesn't say either) unless there is something about this card I don't know about. Its from a Newegg Marketplace vendor if that matters to you...

    I love it when someone defends their argument by claiming that the majority of people are ignorant, and they of course know whats best. How does anyone know you know what good sound is, just cause you threw $1100 at a sound system means nothing.. And if most people don't know what good...

    Help with Barracuda AC-1 and 5.1 receiver

    The receiver works fine when connected to my XBOX and when I go through the speaker test on the unit every speaker provides sound as it is supposed to. I am pretty sure the speakers are setup correctly as I triple checked it when I set it up.

    Crappy PCMark2002 scores.

    I pretty sure Shimmishim is correct. That is the reason, many people are told to run 2 occurances of Prime with a P4 when running Win2kpro and testing. However I could be wrong.

    Its possible that its the board, not sure, I dont have much experience with that manufactorer.

    Your kinda in a catch 22, You can get lower speed, LL mem and hope that you can o/c it to 230-240 with low timings, (which is pushing it) or you can get the faster mem and be insured that you get the speed you are looking for but maybe not the timings you want. Its gonna be difficult to run...

    Barton 2500+ NF7-S and 1 gig OCZ 3500 dual channel what am i capable of?

    I think Shimmishim is correct, most people that I have talked with are unable to get past 220 FSB without doing the VDD mod. Any yes you can change the vdd voltage in the bios of the nf7-s but you can only up it to 1.7 which I dont think is enought to get 230-240 fsb. I have this board with a...
