    Anybody know what TIM AMD is using these days? (Retail PIB) I've got some G751 and some X23-7783D, but they are a few years old for one thing, and for now I'm inclined to stick with the stock stuff if it's good enough (also no warranty issues just in case).

    I'm looking at this mobo as an upgrade for the folks, and reliability is paramount. I haven't wanted to upgrade because, as the saying goes, If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It! Well, things are broken. Time to upgrade and move them on to Vista or 7. (I'm still using 2k and Linux, btw) I'm...

    After a little searching I've found that there are no atsc tuners supporting windows 2000 (true?), is this just because the OS is not supported these days or is it that 2k can't support atsc? tia

    Clean install plugged into diff mobo...DOHH!

    No immediate problem, but the last thing I want is to proceed with this "clean install" if there may be any changes to windows reg or driver or whatever changes to the system because of this. So this is what I did: clean install of 2kprosp4 on an NF7s, then hooked her up to an A7N8X-E dlx by...

    HDTV consists of what, lines of res. and progressive scan? So based on this (if correct) would a high end crt d-sub connected monitor qualify for as HD capable? It is high bandwidth and rgb after all. Or at least would the image be comparable? I ask in part because I have an EM8475 card that...
