    I love Outback Steakhouse's carside pickup

    Last time we ate at Outback, they didn't even bother to bring out my wife's side with her meal. We were in a hurry, though, so we didn't bother complaining.

    What happened to AMD's All-In-Wonder?

    I didn't see anything in that thread which said they won't be supporting AIW cards in Vista. It says they don't currently, but it's implied that they will down the road.

    What happened to AMD's All-In-Wonder?

    Word on the street is that R600 is going to have a Theater 200 chip on board.

    All AMD R6xx chips are 65 nanometre chips, now

    lol, there's no way any company in as tight of a race as AMD/nVidia are in purposely delays a new high end card which would retake the performance crown in order to achieve a coherent product line.

    All AMD R6xx chips are 65 nanometre chips, now

    I think you and I are essentially saying the same thing. Re-read my second paragraph. I think it's perfectly reasonable that they were working on a 65nm shrink of R600 simultaneously but as either a backup or as a refresh part. They were having issues with the 80nm part, so they delayed under...

    All AMD R6xx chips are 65 nanometre chips, now

    I don't find this too hard to believe and here's why. It makes sense to me that a company planning to release a chip roughly around the same time they're preparing to do a die shrink would spend some time doing the designs (80nm and 65nm) concurrently in the event it becomes necessary for...

    Jesus guys, would you take the politics to PMs or the right forum please? They're completely out of line for this thread and it's really getting annoying.

    You mean, did I plug the CPU fan into the CPU fan header? Yes.

    Computer won't turn on

    Question: does anybody know what would happen if I put a jumper on the two pins that the power switch plugs into?

    Computer won't turn on

    In order to get a beep code, it would have to turn on ;). Right now, nothing happens when I press the power button. (And yes, I've made sure that the switch on the PSU is flipped on :P)

    Computer won't turn on

    OK, it won't turn on with even no RAM in the slots (from what I know of the process, it should at least turn on and give a beep code if there's no RAM installed)

    Computer won't turn on

    Yeah, I've tried the board outside the case and no dice. I'll try it with one stick of memory at a time and see how it goes.

    Computer won't turn on

    I'm trying to put together a system for someone and am having a real problem getting the blasted thing to turn on. It's an AM2 Sempron 2800+ system with an ECS C51GM-M motherboard and two 512MB sticks of DDR2 RAM. I've verified that the power supply turns on if you jump the two pins and I've...

    Amd + Ati, we might as well write nvidia a blank check, turn around and bend over!

    Thank you for the well-reasoned and thought out posts. I'll be sure to read more of your threads in the future.

    lifetime warranty

    Also, read the fine print on the "lifetime" warranties, as many manufacturers like to play word games with what "lifetime" actually means.

    Newegg Refurbs?

    I had a less than stellar Gigabyte GA-7N400Pro that I got refurbed from Newegg. It was always problematic. On the positive side, I called Gigabyte about the back panel and they sent me one free of charge :cool:

    You need to go into computer management (in the administrative tools control panel folder) and initialize & partition the drive to be able to use it.

    7900GT reporting as PCI-Express X2?

    If the board isn't set to SLI mode, the bottom slot only has two lanes allocated to it while the top slot has 16 allocated.

    PCI-Express chipset driver for Nforce4 boards?

    If you've installed the nForce drivers, you've installed the necessary chipset drivers needed.

    GPU cooler

    I haven't tried to remove the RAMsinks, but from my own experience (I've got a VF900 on my 7900GT), but given that they're only held on my thermal tape, I'm sure a little twisting would get them off easily enough (maybe after blowing a hair dryer on them to warm them up a bit).

    For the environmentally conscious...

    I think the point was simply to state the fact that it's RoHS compliant. I wouldn't call it a selling point (though it is if you're in Europe :P)

    For the environmentally conscious...

    IIRC, the EU requires all electronics to be RoHS compliant (if not now, in the relatively near future) in order for them to be sold in their member countries, hence why there's been such a rapid shift to it.

    NVIDIA Forceware 91.28

    Click the advanced button at the top to get the manual overclocking options. All in all, the new CP is a good start, but incredibly rough around the edges. The color scheme also does NOT play nicely with the Luna Element 5 theme.

    NVIDIA Forceware 91.28

    I don't want it loaded in memory at all. In the old control panel, it can be disabled with a simple checkbox. I can't find a similar option in the new CP.

    *** Official MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (nForce4 Ultra chipset) Thread ***

    If you're serious about video editing, I'd put an X2 on your short list of upgrades to make in the future, and possibly a memory upgrade. But I'd certainly say you're taking a nice step up from the old setup :)

    *** Official MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (nForce4 Ultra chipset) Thread ***

    I personally haven't had any stability issues since I got a BIOS which properly supported the X2 processors (when I bought mine, it didn't and the board was flaky as hell). 1.B is working great for me, as did 1.9 and 1.A.
