Quick question: Why do they call 32 bit x86 instead of x32? Just curious.

Rob, I'm ready to overclock the memory. Would I go into the BIOS and set the timings manually to 4-4-4-15 or 4-4-4-12? Voltage is currently at 2.1V. How will I know if I'm stressing the memory or if it is good? Thanks.

I think that it's my X64 Internet Explorer browser, my X32 Internet Explorer doesn't do it. Sorry for the alarm! I have the X64 vista and not everyone wants to play with 64 bit, namely flash player.

It is just me or does it seem like it takes longer than normal to load between web pages on the site? I experienced the same thing on my school network that has a 1.5 MB T-1 line. Just curious. Thanks.

I just bought a DELL E248WFP and compared to my DELL 2005FWP it seems to no be quite as good, color wise. What is the difference between the E248 and the 2408WFP?

Hello Everyone, Sorry it's taken me so long to report back to this thread. Have been messing around with overclocking the quad and it is amazing! I have reached 3.4 GHz and I haven't pushed it to the limit yet. Decided to back it down to 3.0 GHz to see if it would run stable. Played Cod4...

Well, I made some headway last night. I reformatted and reinstalled Vista x64 and just did the windows updates. Keyboard still works. Started to install the soundmax drivers and after, keyboard doesn't work. Did a software restore and keyboard works. Continued to set up computer and...

Good News! I got it up and running last night. I disconnect everything but the monitor, video card, cpu, heatsink and fan, mouse, and keyboard at started with one stick of RAM. It booted but my monitor stayed black. Tested second stick, booted into BIOS, tested third stick, booted into...

Hey Guys, I am getting ready to build over the Christmas Break. I have had a small tube of AS 5 standing up in my refrig for about 3 years. Does this stuff every get old? Can I still use it? I have plenty left over from my last build. Thanks!

I decided to go with 4 GB of the Corsair XMS2 PC2-8500C5 1066 MHZ from ZipZoomFly. $88 a pair after rebate. Timings are 5-5-5-15. Not sure if this RAM is very overclockable or not?

Perhaps I would be better off with a Zalman CNPS 9700 LED? Any thoughts?

Just wondering if anyone is currently using the Tuniq Tower 120 on the Maximus Formula? I am curious about how well it fits on the motherboard, and if it fits tight! With something that big, it is OK to set your case upright or should it be put on it's side? I read where the Thermalright...

I'm only finding 5-5-5-15 in the OCZ and Corsair Dual PC2-8500's.

Thanks Rob!

FYI... I have decided to go with the Asus Maximus Formula MB. What do you think?

Forgot to mention that I am running Vista Ultimate (32-bit). I also have the 64-bit version. I just read where vista 32 can't go above 3 GB. Can the 64 version recognize 4 GB of RAM?

Good, bad, or indifferent, I have decided on getting an Asus Maximus Formula motherboard for my new upgrade. I will be putting in an Intel Q6600 G0 and I have been reading that it's ideal to put in 1066 MHz memory (1:1) which is PC2-8500, correct? What's so important about the 1:1 ratio? I...

Merlin, I was thinking about an evga 8800GT KO, but now I am going to do some reading about ATI because the boards I'm looking at are Crossfire. More research ahead!:eek:

I am looking at the Asus Maximus Formula and Extreme, as well as the Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6. Any thoughts?
