Hahahahahahaaahaa . . . "budget" . . . I laugh my arse off at some of these kids. They walk in with a couple years experience and know it all.
My PCP&C 750W used to be 'top-of-the-line' in my opinions and they can probably search the [H]ardForum itself to find out about the 'rails' on the...
Just got back from CompUSA in North Houston. I got the D-Link Wireless G router and the CD-R's. They had about 6 of each on the shelves, but I don't know how much they had in back. You don't have to have the Print Ad. Everything is marked in Big Yellow Stickers that is on sale today.
This looks like where it came from. I was going to check the specs before I asked you questions. I'm thinking about it and here's a free bump?

1st - Way to revive an old thread
2nd. Why not just get the AGP version of the X800 XL which already has the pipelines unlocked and is cheaper.

Uhhh. . . you really need to catch up and take a look at this list. . .

Sounds to me like you're not even listening to our suggestions. BTW - the Neo4 you list above (non-sli) has...
Here's my top 4 picks. The DFI probably has the best overclocking options. I personally have MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum nForce4 Ultra w/ PCI-E, Audio, GbLAN and my last board was the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum.
1. MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI nForce4 Ultra SLI w/ Audio, GbLAN
2. DFI Lanparty UT nF4...
I have 2 Thermaltake Truelights which are LED RAM Heatspreaders. Each one has their own 4 pin molex power and a switch for empty PCI slot backplanes. Connecting them to the RAM LED is a 3 pin connector. The switch just gives you eight different lighting modes. Product page with tech specs...
The MSI is the probably best value at $169.99 The DFI SLI-DR is over $200 but is a better overclocker, though longevity may be at issue for the DFI

Is your cable rated for U320 or U160? Quoting another person where I bought my SCA adapters:
"A SCSI chain will slow to the slowest item on the chain. That item can be the controller, drive, drive adapter, cable, or terminator.
Since your controller is rated U160 (assuming you are using...
I just got this back from Connect3d in less than an hour. I specified that I had and OEM X850 XT PE Model 3025.

Neither does the 5 lbs of scrap aluminum + 10cents worth of lcds + wire in a $170.00 Lian Li cost that much. Hell - scrap Titanium only goes for $3 to $4 a lb here in Houston.
***EDIT*** Excellent price on the cases, still!
$169 at http://www.xpcgear.com/neo4platsli.html
Its been cheaper than all those stores for a week or two. It was priced at $171.89
BTW New BIOS out which does CPU+44% See here. P.S. The MSI K8N Diamond is the EXACT same board as the MSI K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum. You just get extra paid access...

Waiting on one of the first offers to pay. I'll wait just a bit longer for him to pay. After that, I'll start contacting next offers in order they were received. Thanks.
Can't look at the board and get serial until I get home tonight. How do I tell if the northbridge is chinese or korean? Guess i can take off the fan and see what it says. I can tell you I got it from Monarch on November 5, 2004.

I just put in the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum this weekend. It will work with a 20 pin and the 4 pin CPU power. I didn't want to chance it, so I bought a OCZ Powerstream 520W to go with it.
The only reason I know for sure it works, is that I at first used the OCZ and it didn't power on. I didn't...
I just got my OEM Connect3D X850 XT Platinum Edition on Friday for $566. I ordered it last Tuesday from www.pwrpc.com. Its the EXACT SAME CARD AS THE ASUS, that expensive Asus model on the [H] front page. It cam with all extras EXCEPT the software and the retail box, but all the wiring/adapters...
Hehe - nice! Did your cable come with the right SCA fittings/adapters for that Cheetah and cable end terminator? Keep us updated and PICS!!! hahha if you want. Just a fellow h/w p[H]r3ek
If you do go with the Asus A8V and plan on overclocking, just make sure you get a Rev.2 board. I'm sure that revision 2 of the board has working pci/agp locks. If recall correctly, Revision 1.0 and 1.01 locks didn't work and if it is Rev. 1.02 boards If so, then it won't have an AGP/PCI lock...
yeah - the FX-55 is showing in stock at $999.00 MSRP is less than $850. Newegg and Zipzoomfly are also gouging.
Hehehe - the should also mark the chips they overpricing like - Late in the Game Monarch Ripoff or something like that.
Well, the Neo2 is the better over-clocker of the 2 boards, BUT . . . Let me ask you why you are getting a Neo2 instead of a Neo4? Is it because you have a AGP card you want to keep? Both are socket 939 and the Neo4 has the newer nForce4 but does have PCI Express if that is an issue with your...
My 2 cents. I've been shopping these nforce4 boards for awhile and maintaining this Socket 939 K8T890 , nForce4, SiS 756, Radeon Xpress 200 Next Gen Motherboard Pricing and Availability List
