I don't browse this forum very often and don't shop at Microcenter regularly. Thanks for your support though...

LOL...no wonder why it was that cheap! Okay, so if you need a CPU as well, it's a good deal.

My current ESXi rig is limited to 8GB's of RAM so I've been in the market for a new *cheap* MB/CPU/RAM combo. Honestly, I thought this board was going to ring up at $69.99. You can imagine my surprise when I saw $29.99!! Of course this board doesn't have a ton of bells and whistles and it...

Is that PS intake fan flush against the inside wall of that case!?!

Your sluggishness might be due to the fact that you gave out vCPU's like candy...lol! It's always best to check performance before hand and if you *really need* another vCPU you give 1 and test some more. I've got an Exchange 2010 VM with 2.5GB's of RAM and, up until recently, only 1vCPU. I...

My old gaming rig... GA-965P-DS3 C2D E6300 @ 2.8Ghz 8GB Corsair DDR2 @ 866Mhz NVIDIA Quado (had a different card when gaming) 300GB WD Raptor 650W PS It's been running 4 Server 2008 R2 and 1 WIN7 VM since Sept of 2010. DC, Exchange 2010, Dev (RRAS), and Web/FTP. The 8GB max memory is the only...

I've had a rev A3 for the past 3 years (at least). I've got the 1.34NA firmware on it. It supports my home domain with 4 servers (DC, RRAS, Exchange 2010, and Web), a desktop PC, and printer - wired...and 1 PC, 2 laptops, and 2 other devices - wireless. It's highly customizable for all my...

I think some of these are still card powered... http://www.arctic-cooling.com/catalog/index.php

I think that was the Voodoo 6. It never made it to market due to severe bugs (other than the one that prevented it from fitting in a standard case).

Geforce 2 GTS to Radeon 8500.That was a HUGE jump. I worked for Gateway at the time and they were selling the 'highly sought after' 3.3ns mem version. The jump from 6800GT to X1950XT was a pretty big one too... For those who want to stroll down memory lane -...

Do you have WLAN partitioning on in your router?

Run some bootable hardware tests. Memtest86+ v4.0, CPU tests (from UBCD), DFT. Hmmm, also (a long shot)...your monitor may be 'accidently' going to sleep. Try a different one. Check BIOS power mgmt too.

Hold down the SHIFT key as you close the Window.

Do you have 'write caching' on in Device Manager for the target drive?

All started with USB, right... I bet you grounded a USB port. Try booting up without any of the case USB ports plugged into the MB headers. If it turns out that one is damaged all you need to do is straighten/seperate the pins so they are not touching each other or the housing. Of course you...

If 'The Internet' broke 'The Internet2' would have to grow up really quick... But seriously, soooo many things would have to go wrong, simultaneously, for it to break and stay broken for any length of time. I've got a better chance of winning the lottery while getting struck by a second bolt...

Not bad for an older CPU and video card. Specs in sig...

Most important - when you delete a partition/file and you want to recover data, DON'T use the disk. The more you use it, the more files get overwritten, the less chance you have of recovery. PhotoRec - http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download Despite the name it recovers more...

CCleaner, FTW

You sure that's not 4 PHYSICAL processors you're telling it to use?

I'm in

R-click in taskbar, toolbar, links, add an IE shortcut?

I love how there's so many people out there wanting to reduce the memory footprint of their Windows OS when they've got GBs to spare. Unused memory IS wasted memory, period. I'm using Windows 7 x64 with 8GB's of RAM. My OS uses approx. 1.3GB's at boot. I'd like it to use more... I used to be...

check firmware - look at the HD in device manager, details tab, usually in the middle of the character string.

Vizio 32” High Definition LCD TV $449.99 + $5 shipping condition: Refurbished product(s): 1 Vizio VX32L 32” High Definition LCD TV Meh...my sushi was nicer than this TV.

Damnit! Food...BoC...food...BoC...food. That BoC better wait till I get back. (Too bad my sushi place doesn't have Wi-Fi).

Damn...that was quick I wonder how many people are actually waiting for the BoC(?) 500?...5000?...

Yea, you need to be careful with the codes. If you configure a system with an 'instant savings' code you need to remove that coupon BEFORE you can add the $350 or $500 off one, since they do not stack. Edit - Hey Not_So_Hard, any reason why you're not getting a better screen? The XGA is nice...

$350 off $999+ GBM7HX$KL48KVP $500 off $1249+ Q2TZNN?6PH3SLW Valid on Vostro line of notebooks. Step 1) Go to Dell.com and start configuring from the base model Dell Vostro 1000, 1400, 1500, or 1700 (small business section). Step 2) Get your system configured up to $999 for the $350 off...

Well, I just got done installing the Q6700 onto my 966P-DS3. I shot straight for 3.33Ghz @ 1.365v (best guesstimate at upper range with conservative voltage). It booted into Windows and ran some light programs okay but failed Prime95 v25.4 pretty quickly. Now I'm going for a baseline test at...

...coaster? ...portable mirror? ...frisbee? (scratch that...you'd probably have to wait for SP2 before it'd fly straight)

The difference *could* be considerable if the CPU is the bottleneck. IOW, if the person already has a good video card and nice amount of RAM but is running on a crappy celery then yes, the core 2 quad would make a hell of a difference. Most people who already have a decent CPU will only be...

I wish!!! DCI's (Geek Squad supervisor for in-store geeks) can make into the 20's. Starting DA's (service calls) can start at $17. The only one's in my area (South Miami) making $22+ have been doing it for at least 2 years. It really depends on what the other techs in the field in your...

Does the system post and boot into Windows? Many newer boards have multiple temperature sensors...are you reading the right one? Easiest way to find the CPU sensor is to pull up MBM or speedfan or whatever you are using to report the temp in Windows. Then load up prime95 or toast to heat...

Because the performance difference when compared to a top performing 965 board is +/-3% at best. For future compatability, of course, P35 is the way to go. But many of the 965 boards out there have 6 SATA ports and you can pick up an eSATA bracket for a few bucks to turn any two of them into...

It's not just you. Myself and all my co-workers (Best Buy/Geek Squad) that picked 2nd day have been rescheduled as well. It'll still be two (business) days. I'm just happy that mine is shipped. I'd hate to be one of those who get the, "I'm sorry, but we have exhausted our supply of the CPU's...

Sardonic, be careful with that voltage at those temps. It may be totally stable but that's a little on the hot side and will probably affect your new CPU's life span.

Order # 13746xxx has shipped!! For the heatsink I'd recommend the Zalman 120mm all copper (CNPS7700-CU). It's the one I'm using for the rig in my sig...

Don't even bother trying to OC with the shipped board. You're limited in so many other areas that you'll just end up getting frustrated...
