Awesome rig. Good luck to everyone

I have a Blackberry 8830 World Edition running Beta OS 4.5.0.77 w/ Desktop Manager 4.6.

I think the more notable features are 7200RPM and 16M cache.

I'm in

I am digging the custom black interior. Nice job Sherb!!

I guess I am one of the lucky ones too. Mine shipped this morning. I am also in VA, but mine will be here tomorrow. Strange.

a 24" running 1920 x 1200??

I am in for one. Maybe it won't take too long.

I am running the SSC card also, 2 of them actually. I haven't really tried to overclock yet. The temps stay pretty high on stock settings. No problem with stability though. My last run on 3dmark06 was 16658. So I am content for now.

From what I can tell, all the bolts are tightened fully. They seem to have a stop when fully engaged.

I just finished putting together my first Intel based rig. So yesterday I decide to go ahead and install the Ultima-90. The instructions seems simple enough, but it didn't seem to be a very solid fit on the mobo. I disassembled and tried it again. Still it didn't fell as I had imagined. I...

Thanks for the help Mark, I was actually considering the GSKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231065 Today I found some Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 for several dollars cheaper than...

I am getting ready to build my first intel machine. Right now I am thinking about: EVGA nForce 680i mobo C2D E6850 Dominator DDR2 800 From what I have read, am I right at saying? If memory is 2x the actual speed and the FSB is 4x. For a 1333, the actual speed would be 333.3...

Na, If it isn't just a simple fix, I am not going to mess with it. I will inquire about a dual core image. Thanks again to everyone.

Do tell about the tweaks. This is my work computer, but I still would like to use both cores if possible.

Thanks for all the help. According to cpu-z, I only have one core.

I have a dell latitude D620. This is my first dual core. In the task manager it only shows 1CPU. Does the core duo display duals as a single or is there a way to enable both?

I was able to score the 500GB external HDDs for $140. The original cost is $300. The store had them marked down to $200. When the cashier scanned the coupon against the $200 it came up $0. She said the reason was it was hardware and not an accessory. I spoke to a manager who agreed the coupon...

I just place the order to the 'Egg. Hope to have it by this weekend.

Thanks, I think I will check it out. My stock cooler on my X800 died too.

I need a replacement (single slot) VGA Cooler for a X800XL PE that will fit my SN85G4V3. I have tried the Zalman Fatal1ty FS-V7 and it is too think. Does anyone know of any coolers that will fit. The Zalman is only around a 1/2" too think. If I can't find a good single slot cooler, I guess...

Are these EVGA boards competitive with the entry level Asus or Abit??

What is the big difference between the AN8 and the KN8, besides the $30 price tag?

I think the Antec 550W PS should be fine. Has there been any problems using Patriot memory? I have had pretty good luck with it in the past. I am also a fan of Crucial Ballistix. Any thoughts?

I am building a new rig for a friend. He has no interest in overclocking and little knowledge of tweaking. I am hoping to be able to build a good SLI system for under $1000. Initially we will start with one video card with plans of adding another soon. Any suggestions on a good mobo? The rest...

I need a thin GPU cooler for my X800XT PE. The bearing on my fan sounds like it is going out. I am looking for something thin enough to use with my shuttle case. Does anyone have experience with any good coolers around the same size as stock?

you gotta PM

spin02 I am playing a lot of Tiger Woods and PGR3. Any challenges are welcome, just drop me a message.

I just built my first SFF rig. I'm running a 3700+ clawhammer with an ATI X800XL. Is this going to require more power than the 240W PS can supply. It runs everything just fine, but craps out on Super Pi about half the time. All the temps look good and no crashes yet. Has anyone had similar...

Yeah, there are a few of beta bios out there. I am using beta v4 - 10/15 which extends the memory voltage up to 4.0v. You can also run memtest from the bios without any boot device.

I have had nothing but good luck with mine. It has been a very solid board. IMO, it is the most functional board for overclocking. Also, it looks great with a couple of UV cold cathods. Here is a pic of mine, about 75% complete on the cable management.;)...

AGP/PCI lock lets you adjust the HTT without changing the ACP/PCI speed. If you get these speeds too high, the video card or hard drive could start acting flakey.

I agreed totally. I have had really good luck with my 3700+.

Congrats on the OC. That looks more like it :)

Man, I am puzzled. Try running the memory in 1&2 just to see if it is recognized as dual channel. What voltage are you running on your CPU??

What voltage are you using with your memory? Also, what kind of temperatures are you getting from your CPU?

If you have your memory in 1&3 it should be dual channel. When you boot does the flash screen say dual channel? You may be able to get your memory to 250Mhz. Try relaxing the timing a little and adding a little more voltage. For example, I run my ballistix at 250Mhz 2.5-3-3-10 at 2.9v. All...
