    Time for a new one!

    NewEgg delivers AGAIN! Received in my Opty 150 today, CABGE :D 0532MPMW stepping. These aren't the best overclockers but I've seen a couple get to 3Ghz. Looking around I found that a lot of people are using the XP-90 as their heatsink for overclocking, we'll have to see how the Zalman turns out...

    In-Depth Look: Futuremark 3D Mark 06

    I can't wait to get my pc done and see what it can do. I can't even imagine trying to run that on this one lol. It probably wouldn't! Those pictures are awesome; that high-def stuff should really show what a system's made of.

    SNL HGTV Parody

    I loved that one LOL! I've seen it before but it still makes me laugh. Chris Parnell can be very funny when he wants to.

    Time for a new one!

    Yes and no. The Opteron 1XX line does NOT require ecc registered memory, where as, the 2XX and 8XX line DO. The Opteron should feel right at home in the Dfi board. The Opty 150 is a single core processor, running a 90nm process, with an E4 stepping. The Dfi goes up to E6, I believe, with the...

    computer acting up need help!

    Some friends of mine are in need of a decent computer, but they aren't as tech savvy as most of us here. If you care to take a look Compaq is offering a Amd 64 system for less than $420. That's right, I said less than $420. After rebates it's $360. <a href...

    More money than sense!

    I agree with the core thing. That last one though, it seemed as though the video card and motherboard were smoking too.

    computer acting up need help!

    I'd like to chime in just so larry knows for sure what processor he's got. There were a lot of brand computers still using the slot style processor in the late 90's. Slot Style. Socket Style. It does sound like the motherboard in my opinion. With the prices of older components these days...

    I just want to know why! Seriously, why would you waste good components?

    Time for a new one!

    I'm going to order the GTX from ClubIt. I found the $40 dollar discount through Pricegrabber which puts the GTX roughly 10-15 more than the GT. I'm willing to pay that much more.

    ASYS Freedom Case

    Nice review. It looks as though that case would be great for almost anyone. The prices I've seen put it anywhere between 120 and 150 which is decent. It's style, like you mentioned, is just like the Thermaltake Armor case. I think the video card holder is a good idea just hard to implement. It's...

    Time for a new one!

    I'm going to have to wait until Friday to order the video card. My bank has a $1000 spending limit on my debit card, and I need to put some more money in. I'm not near running out and I could order the rest tomorrow, but I also need to leave some, just in case. It looks like my tax returns will...

    Time for a new one!

    Recorded AMD 64 Cores I found a pulled cpu on ebay with the CAABC revision. You're right though, it seems the better cores have come out more recently. I just ordered the Opty 150 retail the Zalman and a tube of Arctic Silver 5.

    Time for a new one!

    Stork, I'd be willing to buy a 2gig set off of you if you feel you didn't want or need it. I know you said it was too much of a hassle to send it back. I'm kinda worried now about ordering the processor. I know the Opteron's can do 3Ghz but I'm not guaranteed a CABGE or CABYE that tend to oc...

    Time for a new one!

    That's the same with this one. I built this pc my Senior year in high school, 2003, and have been using it since. I've added the 9200 video card, a dvd rw, and just recently the 1 gig set of Patriot ram. It's served me well, but it's definitely time to upgrade.

    Time for a new one!

    I've looked into both of those options, I wasn't planning on spending so much on ram when I started, but I also just planned on buying a single gig kit. When the parts start to come in I'll use my Patriot ram until I can save up enough for a better set. I've run across an offer from Club-It...

    Vantec NexStar3 Enclosure

    That's an excellent price, especially with it supporting Sata. I've helped others out with external enclosures and they can be very pricey. I'm glad to see such well known brand step up and produce such a device without charging so much. I'm interested in the transfer rates though. Seeing as...

    Time for a new one!

    I ordered the Ultra X2 off of Directron.com. It ended up being about a hundred with shipping. Sorry about the wishlist thing. I did save it and listed it as shared, can't imagine why it's not working :rolleyes: . I'll be ordering the Dfi Expert this evening along with the case. I still have...

    Time for a new one!

    https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/WishList/WishDetail.asp?position=HISTORY&ID=1848027&WishListTitle=Opty+Build There's the wishlist from NewEgg, they didn't have the X2 in stock so I put one with a similar price. With shipping all from NE it's looking like 1500, which isn't too bad. I've...

    Time for a new one!

    Multiple postings from NewEgg: DO NOT...I REPEAT DO NOT GET IF YOU HAVE ASUS A8N32-SLI DELUXE motherboard. Incompatible with Asus A8N32-SLI DELUXE motherboard. There were a whole bunch more and it seems they all are about the A8N line by Asus...
