    I think I am fried

    Coach, Thanks a ton. I am writing down everything you just said for future ref but, as of now, I might be the most relieved guy on the face of the planet -- IT BOOTED! For some crazy reason, after about 15 mins of it sitting off, it finally booted. Holy crap I was literally frantic there for...

    I think I am fried

    Hello all. I am looking for some help or at lest some suggestions as to what to do next. I wasn't home at the time but my girlfriend told me that the power to the condo cut out and came right back on. She thinks the computer rebooted and then about 5 mins later there was another power outage. I...

    Need a stable E6600 board

    Description: 2GB 667MHz DDR2 Non-ECC CL5 DIMM (Kit of 2) Detailed Specifications: Standard 128M X 64 Non-ECC 667MHz 240-pin Unbuffered DIMM (SDRAM-DDR2, 1.8V, CL5) Given that description of the RAM I would say you are ready to rock. Again I am fairly sure that that warning is simply a...

    Need a stable E6600 board

    I am unsure about the answer to this question, but I think that, for all intents and purposes, there is no difference for what you are worried about. In other words there are significant differences in the RAM itself (otherwise it wouldn't be rated and named differently) but in terms of...

    Need a stable E6600 board

    Well, it seems that based on the initial findings of Anandtech's mATX roundup that you might want to go with this Intel mobo. "Rock solid" is how I believe Gary described it. .

    Biostar TF7050-M2 released

    For anyone interested in the Nvidia answer to the AMD 690G chipset - at least one of the Nvidia boards is now on the market. Biostar TF7050-M2 at MWave and at ClubIT. .

    mATX Roundup

    Are they still testing or is it now a case of waiting for an NDA to run out on the 7050 chipset boards? Just speculation but in that primer article Gary Key said something to the effect of "more info will be available on the 15th" regarding those boards. Makes me wonder if they haven't already...

    Looking for: 1680x1050 16.7Mil NON DITHERED LCD monitor; best deal?

    I have been researching the same models and I agree with xtknight. In the 20" category the AL2051W is the best monitor out there for the price right now. That said I probably won't be getting it. I will more than likely get the Samsung 206BW. I want the option of hanging the thing from an arm...

    CC - Samsung 225BW 22" LCD $199.99 AC

    That may be true but I understood him for the most part and I agree with what he is saying. The thing that really irritates me is when manufacturers come out with a new monitor, with a decent panel in it, and then after reviews and a bit of time passes they switch to an inferior panel. Either...

    You're correct. I see that now. What a crock.

    ASUS P5B Deluxe or GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3

    I know it doesn't answer your question but what about this Asus P5B-Plus? I am looking at the DS3 also but ran across this P5B-Plus yesterday and it looks interesting. It has a few more features than the DS3 like for instance an eSATA port. There isn't much info on it - that I could find anyway...

    Corsair 520W PSU $80 after MIR, $70 with GCO, free shipping

    Basilisk, Are you sure the free shipping wasn't present? I initially thought this was the case also. I thought they were trying to pull some sort of scam but then I clicked on the shipping drop down box in the checkout page and there it was. It seems it defaults to a shipping charge but you...

    X1650XT Power Requirements

    Thanks for the info guys. It was very helpful. I now have a much better understanding of things. The only thing I would say is that if it only has a 256 ringbus, which equates to a 128 bit interface, then they shouldn't be advertising it as having a 256 bit interface. That just ain't right and...

    X1650XT Power Requirements

    Wow so they are flat out misrepresenting the card then? Amazing. Thanks for the info but I am just curious - you gave a pretty sure answer - do you have one? Or is it simply not possible that the card could have a 256bit bus? I really don't know much about this stuff. It is all pretty new to me...

    X1650XT Power Requirements

    Sorry to barge in/hijack but anyone know if this connect3D X1650XT actually has a 256bit interface as it states. There seems to be some question as to the veracity of the listing. I have checked out the manufacturers website and they don't even have the card listed at all. I am considering this...

    mATX Roundup

    First: Best wishes Gary. Hope things are at least a bit better for you now. This question isn't for Gary necessarily (I am sure he is busy) but, for any one else that cares to respond... The quote above would imply that if one was concerned about the performance of the IGP and not so much...

    mATX Roundup

    Er... That doesn't sound very good... not very good at all. I am a complete newcomer and enjoy this site for all the quality info but I couldn't care less about a motherboard review if something bad has happened. Best wishes to Gary.

    E4400 in stock too!

    Yeah the E4400 has been out awhile. A week or more. It is exciting when you realize something you have been waiting for is out "early."

    mATX Roundup

    For that specific board? Not a peep - and trust me, I have been checking. Heck I even tried emailing the Abit sales dept. but of course got no answer. I know they are hesitant to disclose such things but what I would appreciate is if Abit would simply come out and say: The AN-M2 boards will be...

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Dual Core for 120$, Good Deal?

    AkumaX, Have a link at all? This deal wouldn't be on in the Atlanta area would it? What model ECS board is it specifically do you know? Thanks in advance for any info. Edit to add: FOUND IT! Thanks... now to see if it is in the Atlanta area. Well I can't tell from the add what areas...

    mATX Roundup

    Point taken. I suppose it was an idiotic question in the first place. There is always something to wait on. Though your argument is somewhat blunted buy the fact that the 690G boards are all still in their first revision also, no? I guess I just really want one of the MCP68 boards for some...

    mATX Roundup

    Per some site called "The Inquirer," the initial Nvidia MCP68 (7050-630a) boards are to be available on the 19th. I am very interested in these boards and am wondering if anyone thinks they will be at least marginally better than the 690g chipset boards? I realize it is a complete guess at this...

    Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 (rev. 1.3)

    Ok but it still doesn't really make any sense. So the "Generation 2" emblem just means that it is a 2nd generation of the rev. 1 then it looks like, no? It really does seem idiotic that they would gear up their production line in order to revamp an inferior board when the rev. 3.3 is so popular...

    Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 (rev. 1.3)

    Something just doesn't add up. The rev. 1.3 board has all the signs of being a brand new board. It was just recently added/listed on the Gigabyte website and as far as I can tell they don't even list a "rev. 1.3" other than the new edition. Seems strange and inconsistent to me. If you look...

    intel core 2 duo E4400 10x multiplier (super oc'able)

    Agreed. I will be very interested to hear what they have to say also. Fallen, if they do indeed get back to you, it would be much appreciated if you would let us know what they had to say. I may email or call them myself on Monday also.

    intel core 2 duo E4400 10x multiplier (super oc'able)

    Cyberkost, As to your first point I agree. And indeed some stores still listing them as on backorder, such as this seller, do note that they will have thousands of units. All the same and with regard to your second point... while I agree that prices will eventually come down, and probably not...

    intel core 2 duo E4400 10x multiplier (super oc'able)

    Fallen, I am not following you. Are we talking about the same seller?? PC SuperStore? Because if so, I just checked again and they do have them listed as in stock. One of us is missing something here. I am fine with it if it is me but I simply am not seeing the same thing you are seeing. Care...

    intel core 2 duo E4400 10x multiplier (super oc'able)

    Hmmm. Well I certainly didn't mean to mislead anyone if that is indeed the case but I just checked the site again and, though I might be missing something, I see nothing about "allow 2-3 weeks for delivery" and the real time availability shows 115 units as of 7:15 4/7/07. I am waiting a few...

    intel core 2 duo E4400 10x multiplier (super oc'able)

    Just saw this so I thought I would pass it on. It looks like the C2D E4400 is now available. I have been waiting for this CPU but I am going to call and/or email tomorrow to confirm. Most of the e-sellers still have it listed as being on backorder but many of them are beginning to jack up the...

    mATX Roundup

    Any word? I thought I read the review would be out the 26th? Not trying to rush anyone or anything, mostly I am just wondering if it's me - I can't find it on the main site for some reason. Anyone know the review's status?

    mATX Roundup

    Re: the Fatality board... I know you were joking but I don't particularly like it either. Only 1 PCI won't work for me and from what I have absorbed, from what little info is out there, my instincts are telling me the Nvidia chipset will be at least slightly better... but then my instincts have...

    mATX Roundup

    Long time lurker here. Great site and forum. So I take it you will not be getting an AN-M2 or AN-M2HD anytime soon then? To review I mean? Crappit - I am really interested in those boards. I hate the waiting :( Will still be looking forward to reading what you have to say on the boards you do...
