    Help me pick a new motherboard

    "Yeah, I'm betting it was the 2.4v over time." I dunno... it was about an hour after I installed them ;-) "Manufacturers are selling RAM rated at voltages that will eventually kill it." I agree. At least most of these guys offer nice warranties.

    Help me pick a new motherboard

    I was running it at 2.4v @ DDR2-1100. It's not the first time though. That would have been the... fourth kit I've run on that board with 2.4v or more voltage. That was the first time I had a stick die on me though. If it happens again with another stick, then I will know where to point the blame.

    ASUS EAX1950PRO 256MB

    Currently, ATI has better Vista support than NVIDIA. I don't regularly use Vista (since I hate it) so I can't really comment much more than that. ATI is just known to have better support.

    Help me pick a new motherboard

    Hmm, I am not sure about the size of the Southbridge heatsink... I've never tried to replace it or measure it for that matter. I love the look of that though... clean. Have you Googled to see what size sink it would require? I doubt the eVGA board will kill anything. I had a stick of ram die...

    ASUS EAX1950PRO 256MB

    The X1950PRO should kick the 7600GTs ass.

    Help me pick a new motherboard

    Glad to hear it. I will give it another shot this week. Greg would be the one to talk to about this... as he owns one. I will ping him about it. From what I gather, it's a solid board overall. Hmm, to be honest I never pay attention to temps really. This rooms ambient temp usually hovers...

    I mentioned it in the review :P

    Help me pick a new motherboard

    I am not sure that will even matter. I believe the highest FSB I could push with that board was 350. I haven't exactly read other reviews though, so I'm sure some people have pushed it further than that. What is it about the abit QuadGT that catches your attention?

    Help me pick a new motherboard

    Oh for some reason, I thought that was the board you were talking about. I didn't notice the -E :-\

    Help me pick a new motherboard

    It's a tough situation. I haven't been pleased with any motherboard I've used lately. So far, I like the eVGA 680i most out of all of them, but I question it's stability as well. I have been having some random problem lately, but I'm not sure if it's the motherboard or the PSU. Not sure if you...

    System Mechanic and Windows Vista

    It was definitely you :P No, it could have been the forums, I'm unsure. If you run into problems or an error, just let me know.

    If Mac OS was offered on PC, would you buy?

    Wasn't the Mighty Mouse (or whatever it was called) the first Apple-developed two-button mouse? Sure you can use your own peripherals, but when the computer comes with a one-button mouse, it doesn't exactly give the impression that other mice are supported.

    Help me pick a new motherboard

    I can't speak on the P5N32-SLI Plus, but I assume it's a solid board since the P5N-E was a derivative... which I loved. As for quirkiness of the XBX2, I was actually warned by a friend before I installed it, to expect some weird overclocking problems. It didn't take too long before I found those...

    Help me pick a new motherboard

    Hmm... I'd go with the Intel XBX2 if those are your only two choices. I am not familiar with the QuadGT, but I haven't really heard anything good about it from friends. I've warned you about the XBX2... I hope you don't run into the same issues I did.
