HD-DVD.... going to have and have the cheapest drives... sony sucks! I hope they get crushed so they have two low kicks to the junk (PS3 and next blue-ray)
Why the heck can I not run SLI mode with 2-4 LCD monitors... ok ok... Let's just say two then, I can cut back...
nvidia finally came out first week of May with SLI support for Vista but after the excitement let me install the drivers, I found out you can only use one monitor at a time...

heck yes... grab it!!!!!!!! only 19 left! Costco has them for like $250-$260ish + shipping I think. I am in the market to but decided to go $280 and get the 2,000:1 sceptre monitors from Costco. Sure beats the heck out of my Viewsonic 22"s -- I got 4 running in a canyon display.

Need a $50-60 AGP Video card for gaming purposes for him occasionally and his lil sisters... please advise model/place (I assume newegg but which card please?). Thanks everyone in advance.
I got a Sharp AQUOS® 42" LCD HDTV (LC-42D62U) for $1,700 with a 3 year warranty. Can anyone beat this deal? I am nervous about the 1200:1 contrast ratio. It does 1080p, 2 HDMI ports, 480 brightness....
Anything better for the money?
One of the best games of all time (or at least in it's class). I had to take my geforce 8800 out because this game was wasting so much time. Good deal on the game but not amazing considering I paid $44.95 at best buy a month ago.
I am having the SAME exact problem for my Gigabyte 7600GT's in Vista Ultimate 64-bit. The instructions say where to go but the SLI is missing. Please help us!
I was slapping my system together this weekend and needed to crab a different PSU so I grabbed the Antec TruePower 430W at
Best Buy
I don't think this PSU is compatible because it has the 6 pin ATX cpu Power adapter instead of the 8-pin (can I take the 6 pin, plug that into the board and...
No beeps what so ever right now. It once beeped with a long beep and then another long beep until I turned it off. Tried 2 min later... NO BEEPS. Very odd... if it is grounded... it wouldn't boot/power on right? Everything sounds like it is booting. UHG!
the Geforce 4 6200 works just fine... pulled from working system. I tried both the geforce and I tried taking the card out and trying just the onboard video without the geforce installed. I can not access the bios because I have no video connection to the monitor(which works).
Just put a new rig together and this needs to get working ASAP...

What motherboard?
This was obviously going on for some time. Years and years.... obvious as the price fixing in the memory industry which got busted up. Didn't you ever wonder why memory prices could change over a weekend up or down 10-30% sometimes?
I'm buying the following parts, what Memory do you think I should get?

One more thing, will I have room to install a PCI card with the (2) Gigabyte 7600GTs on the Abit AW9D? I need to make sure because the PCI card I am talking about is the M-Audio 10/10LT required for my Pro Tools configuration.
Thanks!
OK, Abit and passive cards it is. Can you please send me the link to the nVidia cards you would recommend. My budget cap is $150 per card (i can stretch it a few more bucks if necessary)
Also, some knucklehead is giving me "BEEP" about starting a thread asking about which Windows OS I...
building a new system. Have been out of the hardware loop for 1.5 years or so. I have tons of questions that need to be answered. Simple as that, sorry if I seem aggressive but I am itching to get an order placed by tomorrow morning from Newegg so I can build this system for the weekend...
Operandi, thanks for your help. I will get the Abit AW9D (I know you didn't say Abit was the best...would you still get that?) and two graphics cards but I think I would prefer nVidia because of running Linux and using Beryl. I think the nVidia is better in Linux when running a 3D desktop...
Just built/building a new Duo Core system....
Will be dual-booting with some version of windows and Linux.....
So, I don't own windows and never have (always got it for free) but am willing to buy it. What should I buy:
1.Windows XP Professional
2. Windows Vista, and if windows Vista...
I noticed that people have been complaining about the IDE controller on the aBit. If you had the processor I am getting and wanted a board that supported 4 screens, what would you get?
what about the IN9 32X-MAX? What's the main benefit of that? I've been out of the latest and greatest hardware scene for 1.5 year or so.
Out of the abit AB9 QuadGT and the Abit AW9D-Max, what would be the cheaper solution for QUAD display? I'm not too sure what the difference of the two...
Building a new system and getting the Intel Core 2 E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor.
I heard this overclocks to 3.4GHz with ease so I want an overclocking board. I've always loved aBit boards.
Anyways, something to consider is that right now I have a dual display...
NIce man, thanks. I just found a Pentium 4 2.8Ghz 800FSB laying around here with Swiftech P4 478 CPU cooler and Arctic Silver 5+. I also have another Dell server laying around with a 2.8 800FSB laying around. I am going to take each chip and put them in that motherboard you showed me or...
Thanks for everyone's help. I am going to download and burn another CD image, not DVD this time and see if ti works. If it does not work and the integrity of the CD images checks out, I will try swapping the drive and then the ribbon.
Thanks for everyone's help once again.
