I was going to purchase the nessicary components to make a skt 939 system, ie asus a8v delux and such. Probaly a geforce 6800 limited edition or something else that's kinda beefy. Anywho.. Should i purchase that, or wait till the nforce 4 sli pans out. Then my concern shifts: If i can play latest games maxed out, with one video card, why would i need another, other to suck dry the town's generator? and also, Sience my monitor wont go above 1024x768, Am i being marketed hype for lots of cash? I have had some urges to go on new egg for the A642800+/nf3 250 combo for 183, and soup up what 80ish i'd save in mobo/cpu. so boiling this down: is it worth it? and why/why not?
One thing entered my mind. I'm probally going to be using this setup until nearly 2007, so my question is this: do i suck it up, get the nf4-sli now and have a decent rig for a bit, or do i get a regular nf3 now, a cheap combo and kick my self later for not getting sli and a 21" monitor. I am but a meager student.
And number two. I Recentley was given a ecs K7mm+ 3.1 mobo with an athlon xp 2000+ (not sure what stepping it is or if the thing is a tbred/palminino). now her's the delimma. Stuck in a gfx card, memory, and situated it in my case, plugged it in and tried to boot up. The psu worked, as it always dose with my celly, and, odly enough so did the vga cooler and the cpu heatsink. The processor was getting toasty within seconds, so i deduced that it could not be that, as the athlon works. I tried to boot. Nothing. The power for everything went on, but the mobo wouldnt boot. I tried all 3 ways of video: agp, pci and integreted and nothing, so i'm stumped. what do i do?
Please help.
