    Experience with nVidia 500 Series Boards?

    I'm still in the final decision making process for a new AMD dual core system and want to get some feedback from folks who have boards utilizing the Nvidia 500 series chipsets. There just doesn't seem to be many reviews out there about them. I know most enthusiasts right now couldn't care...

    Looking for REAL support

    Well I've been banging my head against a wall on this for 2 weeks now and I'm just not getting anywhere. Here's where I am at this point: I am getting constant BSOD. The most consistent one is the IRQL. I rarely, if ever get a message about which driver failed, and when I do bugchecks I...
