    GA-G33M-DS2R

    Got it sorted. In case anyone else has any problems you need to set the VGA to boot from PEG2 first to get anything in that slot to work. Working now so great. Very good board

    I have just brought the S2 version of this for a client but am having a problem with getting an Abit Airpace x1 wifi card working in the x4 slot. Has anyone tried this and got it working? Thanks

    Are the 2x00 series able to output 1366x768?

    Hello Gents, I am looking to buy a new gfx card for when we get our 32" LCD in the sales (possibly a Sammy LE32R87) and want to replace the current X300SE in my HTPC to something more beefy for HD playback. So it's either a choice of: ATi Radeon 2400XT or 2600 Pro nVidia Geforce...

    nVflash for windows and G92

    Hello Guys, Is there any update to nVflash for windows and the G92 stuff yet. I want to try some new BIOS's so need to flash but as I understand it nVflash for windows 5.33 doesn't support the G92. Short of buying a floppy drive is there anything I can do to get it flashed? Thanks`

    8800 Series price drops?

    I think I am going to sit on this for a bit and wait for the prices to drop really. If I can get the 8800GTX in say 2-3 months for the price I can get a GTS for now I may as well wait. I have my car insurance to pay off and stuff at the mo anyway. Thanks for the tips guys :) Roll on the 25th...

    8800 Series price drops?

    Thanks to all who have commented. I think I will go for the 640MB GTS but if I can I will stretch to a GTX. I can hold out for a while as I am in no hurry and would rather wait and get that card that'll last me longer than to rush and get the wrong product. My 7900GT is doing okish at the mo...

    What's The Best SKT AM2 NON-SLI Mobo?

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813127008 Be my choice over Asus. Have had nothing but issues with various Asus boards over the years. Gigabyte is a good choice for people wanting stock running boards. They are extremely stable boards when running stock

    Ds3 default voltages?

    I actually had more stability issues raising the voltages. I have stuck with the +.1v on all and only using +.2v on the RAM. I have the CPU set to 1.475v (gives 1.4v after droop) which is good for 470*7 3290Mhz Orthos stable. RAM is 1:1 and 5-5-5-15. I did try raising the voltages higher but...

    Did my DS3 die, or am I missing something?

    Have had similar on my gf's A64 system with a dying caddy. It would hang the machine just after post. Disconnect it and it was fine. Plug it in and it would hang (would hang windows too!)

    Northbridge cooler/fan suggestions for DS3?

    Thermalright HR05 here and works a treat. Might suggest getting the HR05-SLi though as with a TR Ultra 120 mounted its rather close :o
