So my 7900GT KO superclock has been running well so far, I've noticed no artifacting or any problems so far. I'm glad to hear feedback like this.

The cover is on and it's late, so I'll check it tomorrow. I think it's an antec 350 cool power or something

Good, mine arrives on tuesday.

So I have a 350 watt antec PS, I think I'll be ok with my new 7900GT - confirm/deny?

sweet, thanks for the responses.

I'd probably get nothing, as i'm replacing a 6800gt. You made me feel a bit better, however. I'm just being wish washy although it's really my bday present to myself...after that I might need to get some more memory for this different mobo, and maybe a beefier power supply. The cycle continues...

I ordered the card tonight from Newegg and it hasn't made it past stage three yet. Should I cancell the order due to (seemingly) all of the problems people are having? This is making me loose sleep. Help!

Well thanks for all of the suggestions! I ended up ordering the asrock, as it was not as expensive as some of the other options, and I didn't really feel like going for everything a more expensive DFI would have given me. After I get comfortable with this one, I'll probably give DFI a shot...

Thanks for the reccomendations. I usually get asus all the way but i'd be willing to experiment here. the asrock is an asus brand i think, i might try them or dfi this time.

I'm looking for a 939 mobo to get started into somewhat serious overclocking. I've got a 754 system right now that has limited options for overclocking - I think i have it about 200mhz higer than stock, running my fsb at like 220 or so. Anyways, my buddy sold me a 3000+ venice core and I'd like...

That's a thought... I need to write these upgrade options down and come up with some hard numbers.

I've got a toshiba m55 with that chipset on it. It's not too bad, but i'm running a pentium m and a gig of memory. I havent tried anything too big on it, but quake 3 engine type games should run ok. I'm going to put RTCW on mine and see how it goes.

Well, here's the thing. If i just wait, it'll be a cpu+mobo+memory+video card upgrade, and lots of $$. if i upgrade to 939, i can keep some of the memory i have now, get a used cpu, upgrade to a dual core later and run a nice videocard like a 7900 gt or something like that.

That's a thought. I'd might wait for the conroe/am2 to come out and see what a popular combination is here, and I have a card I could use in the mean time for 2D stuff. Hmmm. I might be intrested in taking offers on it then, heh.

I'm trying to figure out if a 7800gs would be worth the scratch. I've got about 300 saved for the time being and I am thinking about going to the socket 939 route. I've got a 754 asus mobo, 3200 DTR proc at 2200mhz, and a 6800GT that is clocked at stock speeds for now (until i get my artic...
