Well honestly I have read a couple of reviews on different gigabyte boards and they were not too stellar (not saying they are bad), But for less than $100 there are some ASUS and MSI boards in stock at the egg, and i really dont like buying used on FS/Trade. Trouble is dont know which model...

Well, my abit IP 35 pro is failing and I need a replacement. I am not sure which way to go as I am on outdated hardware and there is not a lot in stock for these 775 socket mobos. Can someone please recommend a good replacement? See sig for specs.

OK How do I go about getting it. Also does that include 64 bit version? I don't think I would want to game on win7 with just 2 gigs but if I can get win7 for 50-60bucks I might send word to the family and put in a request for some ram for my birthday next month.

Thanks for the input guys. I did panic though as I went most of the day without any responses and I called and voided the order as it had not shipped yet. I did order the 1GB version in its place. Much thanks defaultluser for getting to the bottom of that. I think I will be fine though with...

I'll take some :)

I ordered a 2GB HD 6950 off the egg yesterday and just stumbled across something I was completely unaware of. I am still on XP and according to this http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91260 the 2 GB of Vram is going use up all my address space leaving me with no system memory...

Actually I have seen several threads on different forums with similar problems with evga. Also two of the RMA'd 8800's were tested on another computer and gave the same result. I am pretty confident that they bad cards but as I am sure you know with PC's, sometimes the problem is well hidden...

I am having some problems with EVGA and I was wondering if someone might provide any insight. I have been through 5 RMA's with EVGA to date. The first 4 were for an 8800gtx, and of those 4, the first 3 were bad right out of the box - got blue artifacts on the screen in windows and could not...

Yes both run at 2.2v - thanks

Was wondering if anyone could tell if this will work well before I try. I currently have 2 gigs of corsair pc8500, and I'm playing a stalker mod that chews up memory. I happen to have a spare stick of cruicial ballistix pc6400 and thinking putting it in to help ease the burden. Will this work...

Have any one had trouble with the Asus Beta bios 1409

Was wondering if anyone can give any advice here. My phone was just stolen along with my ipod so i need to get something to replace them. What i need is a phone that can serve as my ipod/mp3 player as well. My biggest concern is cost. I am currently with sprint /nextel, and my plan is about...

Dont suppose you know how to test if the PSU is going bad? I might have made a breakthrough though. I have alot of devices running through one outlet on the wall, TV, my rig, laser printer, plus a hefty cyberpower surge protector. I just tried turning everything off except my rig and the...

My cpu is fine w/ orthos (20 min), problem has worsened though. Cant even get into windows with a set of drivers loaded. Had to go safe mode and uninstall them. SOS ...........

Well any games I play are causing lock ups and ati tool causes them as well. My gpu and cpu temps are fine. No OC on gpu, and did an orthos stress test on RAM for 10 minutes no prob. My GPU drivers were installed twice in safe mode w/ driver cleaner. Any ideas as to what gives? PS this...

Thanks dawza, Almost there, lost me on DAC & TOS (whats that?) and the sound part. Other than that I think you are saying all he needs is a 360 basic package correct?

Was wondering if somone here can help. Have a gamer friend who's rig is way too old and he does not have the cash to upgrade to anything decent. I suggested he give in and get a 360 but he would have to hook it up to his dell 24 inch monitor. The monitor was one of the first 24' dells to be...

I did a quick run with Fraps and I can say that the FS number are accurate. I ran from 29 to the mid 50s FPS @2560x1600 (max settings no AA) depending on the area. I would not want to play at that res though because overall it is not nearly as smooth as if I scale it down to 1920x1200. You...

I hope they they ditch anything related to red faction 2. Red 1 was great, but red 2 was a complete dissapointment from story to gameplay.

start/shared documents/monolith productions/fear/settings.cfg. Change the .cfg to a .txt file and input the values for your resolution then change it back to .cfg. That is how it works in XP. Dont know vista but it cant be that different.

Well I just found out Crysis has been pushed back to 11/13 release date (it was 9/11 for a while) so I have a couple of extra months. I think I will stick with XP for bioshock and if I miss out on alot of DX10 features I can always replay after I pick up 2 more gigs of ram and vista.

Might consider that but I dont want to spend my money on vista unless I will get the value out of it. This is pure gaming use. BTW Think comparing XP to 2K might be a bit harsh as I believe a majority are still on XP. I think after crysis that will change though.

Well I have just ordered the last of my upgrades (new ram/mobo/q6600) and I am faced with one last dilemma. I have been chomping at the bit waiting for Bioshock & Crysis (1&2 months left till release) and wondering if I should make the jump to VIsta for these 2. Something tells me although I...

I have ordered 1 system and a laptop from Cyberpower and had no trouble with customer service. I actually had a few issues by my own fault and they handled them quite well. They dont always have the best selection of parts but are better than dell and are competitive in price. BTW If you...

Why no legit reviews? You would think someone would want to review this behemoth.

Another vote for Abit IP35pro. In the market for one meeself!

Wipes tears of joy from eyes. Barcode: 22211 157050 260 S/N: BX80562Q6600SLACR Ordered 7-25-07 Shipped 7-27-07

As you guys (ncix orders) get the info post order date and ship date plz. Suspense is killing me

Just placed order @NCIXusa. rep confirmed that they still have B3 in strock as well as G0 so it is still luck of the draw!

Please share where you are getting the g0's from. :D

Vanguard technology index funds (VGT) - get intel, apple, google, and a bevy of others. Buy and hold long term and you cant go wrong. Tech should be back on the rise.:D

Investing in intel to pay for your CPU upgrades... priceless!

IMHO the future we have been speculating on from the moment dual cores first hit the market about 1.5 years ago is finally here, at least the beginning of it. You see this with Anands Lost Planet benches, next month Bioshock, then Crysis, all multithreaded where more cores will benefit. I say...

Mechatronics 120mm - G1225S12B

I have the stacker 830 and I am have been having trouble with the side fan mounting clips. It seems like the mounting brackets are squeezing the fans when they are put in and casing the fan blades to hit their own casing making a grazing sound. Anyone have this problem or know if anything can...

I am in the market to change my fans too. These are the best I have seen yet from a noise/airflow ratio - 33dba/ 70cfm. You have got to be careful because alot of fan makers will outright lie on how much air and noise they put out. If anyone has these fans or know of any that are better that...

Probably has more to do with the card itself than overclocking, although I sure OCing does speed up the process of degredation. The 7900's were notorius for this. I dont remeber this happening in geforce 6, 7800, or now with 8800 series...

Dude - if you are going to use 30" monitor you owe it to yourself to have at least 1 GTX. See sig

Let us all join hands and pray for a miracle, penryn to be released before Crysis hits. Either that or the current quads can come close to it at same clocks. :D

Those GTX's look more like 512mb with the dual slot coolers...???
