    ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA and XFX GeForce 9800 GX2

    Just skimmed the last couple pages from the link you gave me, tons of good info but nothing specifically related to my situation. Unfortunately I don't have anther system I can test the card in without a lot of hassle. I just received a call back from ASRock and they said it was a PCI-e...

    ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA and XFX GeForce 9800 GX2

    I haven't looked at the link you provided yet, but I will check it out later. I was thinking the same thing about the GEN1 vs GEN2 VGA BIOS, but I called XFX and they said that was an issue on the 8800 series only and that the 9800 series is not affected. Even so, I asked them if there was...

    I just recently upgraded to the nF3 Ultra-D and an Opteron 165. I'm having stability issues and I was thinking about updating the BIOS. The latest BIOS that is listed on DFI's website is the 7/11/2005, which I already have, but the processor is shown as AMD Processor Model Unknown both...

    What over-the-ear gaming headset do you suggest?

    I don't want separate headphones and mic, I want a headset. The only way I will get the two separated is if you guys highly suggest the Icemat Siberia, but other than that I would like a headset with a boom mic.

    What over-the-ear gaming headset do you suggest?

    I'm willing to spend upto $100, but I'd rather find something under $50. In my searching I noticed that the headset that got the most recommendations was the PC150, however I really want an over-the-ear style headset. Sound quality isn't a huge issue, I just want to be able to play CS:S and...

    Which RAM is better for overclocking?

    Maybe this is a better question: I have an Opteron 165 (CCBBE 0610) and a DFI Lanparty UT nF3 Ultra-D and I would really like to hit 3GHz (on air with a Zalman CNPS9500). I'm looking to buy 2GB of RAM, what do you guys suggest?

    Which RAM is better for overclocking?

    Thanks for your input so far. Depending on where you go, both are about the same price (give or take $10), so that's not a big concern for me. I just want to get the best for overclocking. Anyone else have any thoughts?

    I just got an Opty 165, DFI Lanparty UT nF3 Ultra-D, and I need some good RAM to overclock with. Which one do you think is better? OCZ EB DDR PC-4000 2x1024MB Platinum Edition Dual Channel Kit Part Number: OCZ5002048EBPE-K or OCZ EL DDR PC-4000 2x1024MB Dual Channel Platinum XTC...

    How should I cool an Opteron 165?

    I'm looking at buying an Opteron 165 (OEM) along with a Zalman CNPS9500. I do want to OC, but I'm not expecting anything crazy, something in the neighborhood of 2.4 to 2.7 is fine with me. I'm new to OCing so I really have no idea, does the Zalman completely replace the HSF that you would...

    I have the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard right now with a SATA150 hard drive, but I'm starting to run out of room and looking to add another. Will a SATA 3.0Gb hard drive with my motherboard?
