    Time for a new one!

    If you'll watch certain sites will list the stepping of the procs they're selling. I don't remember which they were but you'll also end up paying a premium for them which in my book isn't worth it. I say just take your chances and go for it with newegg, I haven't heard of any other opty...

    Watch the language in the boards please, I can understand your ire but take the foulmouthing elsewhere.

    Hellooo nurse.

    Here's a link to one of his older mods...after I get down to GA we've got plans to "modernize" it a bit with some watercooling and other goodies ;) http://www.voidedwarranty.com/PC_Modding_Articles/p2_articleid/22

    Time for a new one!

    I spent $3500 on the PC I'm using now and other than swapping out ram for a dog set I got at the time (late 2003) and getting the 6800 in exchange for my 5900U when it suddenly freaked out it's basically the same PC as it was then. Point being is I've been gaming on this PC for 2.5 years with...

    You're better off running a 2x1gig kit, the GSkill that I recommended to Madstork is really good and is compatible with the DFI boards, plus it's $60 cheaper than the Corsair kit. the reason I say to go with 2X1 rather than 4X512 is that your board will only run 4 sticks at 2T command rate...

    The DFI likely has better memory performance as well...the x16 chipset just doesn't have a viable need at the present time really. Bear in mind though that you'll still need a good PSU no matter what brand mobo you get and the Ultra will require a small mod to run in SLI mode although you can...

    Here's a good choice for you, it's cheaper than the NeoHE and has more than enough power for your system... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817711002 and this is by ASUS... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817712003

    The NeoHE is the exception, trust me on this...it has three 12V rails and has no issues with that motherboard at all. The True II 550's only have two 12V rails and aren't up to the task although they're both certified by nV for SLI. This should tell you something, if a known quality builder is...

    Time for a new one!

    I'd suggest something a bit better than the Just PC as it's a "mystery meat" type PSU, you just don't know what you're getting with it. My suggestion would be the Antec NeoHE 550, That's a very, very demanding motherboard and it's not in the least forgiving of weak 12V lines especially coupled...

    Awesome, I'm glad to see a rep that's not afraid to get involved! Thanks for the heads up! Maybe I'll be able to get my hands on one after I've moved where they don't tell you to go to Wal*Mart when you ask about a mouse pad after giving you a blank stare for 5 minutes after asking about a...

    sound cards

    The Montego most likely scored a 7 due to having no hardware acceleration for gaming. The sound is every bit as good as the Envy 24 based cards and better than a first generation Audigy.

    I wonder what it's like getting through customs, I don't think it would take that long mind you but depending upon the shipment method among other things...for all we know the fUnC stuff could be setting in a warehouse somewhere in Australia tied up in red tape or "lost" in shipping. Hopefully...
