unfortunately i only have 1 x16 slots. shouldve gotten a mobo with 2 back when i built this pc. :) so if i have an active displayport > dvi connector, all 3 monitors will work even with different resolution and orientation?

im currently running a radeon 4850 + older radeon PCI card in order to get 3 LCD connected. unfortunately with Windows 7, the PCI card is now a legacy device therefore is no longer supported by ATI in newer drivers so if I update the drivers, the 3rd LCD no longer works as the PCI is not...

im currently runing 3 20" through DVI using two video cards (one is PCI). if i get an ATI card with Eyefinity and dont necessary want to use the Eyefinity for the time being but just want to be able to connect 3 LCDs to it. Will I be able to use a displayport to DVI adapter to connect the 3rd...

I bought the MS Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 which comes with Bluetooth receiver and the Wireless Laser Mouse 8000. But after using it for a few weeks, I still dont really like MS mouse that much and prefer my logitech one. I love the keyboard though ... So before I sell just the mouse...

i have asus 4850 as my main card with 2 monitors connected to it. and i also have a x1550 PCI card to run my 3rd monitor. my motherboard only has 1 x16 slot. would I get better performance running the 2nd vid card through PCI-e x1 slot over PCI? I dont know if it was the vid card or not but I...

Currently running dual monitors on ATI Radeon HD4850 but Im wanting to add a 3rd monitor to it so I have a PCI card that I can use (Diamond ATI Radeon X1550). What would be the best method to intalling the 2nd video card? So that I dont come across any issues or conflicts later on. - Should...

i went ahead and re-did my system and put on vista 64bit on my machine yesterday. install went smooth, all the drivers installed ok. even my canon MP970 multifunction device installed and worked properly (as a network install). i had an initial problem installing adobe cs3 but after disable...

I dont have any screenshots but i only did a simple OC on the quadcore Q6600 (G0): OC @ 3ghz (stock voltage: 1.25v) Gigabyte 965-DS3 (F12 Bios) Thermalright SI-120 OCZ GamerXtreme 700w Temps: 35C Idle / 50C Load (get similar temp at stock speed 2.4ghz) Orthos (2 instances) stable...

boooo gators. seminoles baby lolol (even though all 3 of my sisters are UF graduates :p) as for performance increase, it depends on what the pc will be running. with multi-tasking and having alot of things open/running, you should feel a difference. i went from a E4300 @ 2.4ghz, and i can...

likwise .. orlando :D

thats weird. i tried that method and i get 100% load on all cores

with my G0, i can do 3ghz easily on stock voltage .. im not using stock cooler though but my heatsink isnt all that great either so im just gonna stay at 3ghz (Thermalright SI-120). you should have no problems with stock cooler at 3ghz though since I did a load test at stock speed and at 3ghz...

G0 1.25v

g0 stepping seems to hit 3ghz easily even with stock voltage .. id go higher but my heatsink isnt too good :D

ncixus.com .. ordered it on 26th, got it today. from vancouver to florida. not bad :) check out the other threads regarding ncixus, there are some that are getting b3 still but majority have been getting G0's

check out this thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1212286 i dont have rev3.3, i have the 2nd one and just got my G0 today. im not gonna push it too much. right now i have it at 3ghz on stock volts. if i had a better heatsink and my room was cooler, id probably OC it some more...

96redformula, Do you know the link for the F12 BIOS for the DS3 motherboard? I couldve sworn I saw it before on gigabyte website but now Im only seeing F11 as the newest. Hmmmm....:confused: edit: nm. i took the link for F11, and change it to F12 and it downloaded. wonder why gigabyte took...

according to the tracking # for canadapost, mines was shipped out on Friday (July 27th) and it wont arrive to until Friday (August 3rd) .. then again, im in Florida lol

Thanks for the link .. i remember looking at that one but forgot why i didnt put it on my list. price is do-able

Oh happy days! .. finally got invoice from ncixus Barcode: 22211 157050 146 S/N: BX80562Q6600SLACR 07-27-07 02:20 PM time to update bios :D

hmm i ordered it a few hours ago and its on the last step (shipping) .. hopefully ill get the invoice tomorrow and find out :D

I have an E4300 and DDRII-667 memory already, looking for a good but cheap motherboard (hopefully between $40-60) for it. This will be my file storage server and I'll probably install an linux based OS on it (most likely Ubuntu). So hopefully the motherboard will be compatible? I'll also be...

well takin my chances with ncixus .. hopefully ill get a G0 stepping! lol time to update my BIOS to be ready :D

which rev of the motherboard do you have? .. I have same motherboard (but the 2nd rev). Q6600 G0 stepping works fine with F12 Bios?

guess i have to wait regardless if i want to get G0 since my motherboard doesnt have bios update for it yet lol

if i buy somethign, itll be Q6600! .. then i should be good for awhile lol Penryn quad will make me buy a new mobo so i think ill stick with Q6600 :D

gibber, thanks for the info. good post! sc3252, i will also be downloading from this pc as well and will be unraring and such. thats why i wanna upgrade it to a core2duo as well to make it faster to do so. another quick question, if linux is installed on the primary partition, will it be...

im planning to do a clean install of the OS .. so thats the reason why im considering switchin to linux based OS or sticking with XP. If Ubuntu is as easy as it sounds, maybe ill give that a shot .. gives me something else to mess with besides windows, plus its free .. :D

Right now I have my main desktop running Vista .. and a file server pc running XP (Dual PIII 1ghz). I'm planning on upgrading the server pc to core2duo and will probably do a clean install ... I was thinking of putting linux in there but i dont have much experience with it. I have several...

after doing maintenance on my car (timing belt, brakes...) .. ill most likely get the Q6600 since i do alot of multitasking and usually have Lightroom + Photoshop running at the same time along with other programs in the background. Right now im using E4300 with Gigabyte DS3 board .. and I...

awhile back when i was putting together a pent D system with a asus pw5d (or something like that), it didnt play nicely with the antec neo-pe power supplies. i bought a different antec (smart power) and it worked fine. and there was a pretty long thread during that time regarding some issues...

^^^ that ASRock MB doesnt seem so bad. could be the cheapest since it has agp and 2xIDE controller so he could still use his IDE HD (which he bought not so long ago). as for video card, i believe he has a X1600pro or something like that which should be good enough for him. and since the...

hmm damn .. i just realized the video card he got for the HP was a AGP .. lol Sooo whats a good budget video card out there nowadays that will run WoW okay? Should I get him a DX10 capable card or just go with a nice cheap one for now like a X1600 or something? Also, I have a Antec P150...
