So, heavy so & so. It's not really that much of a dust magnet. We sent one to NY a while back that was a dead silent 8800GTX build; water cooled CPU; water cooled SLI-8800GTX. Bad thing about it: had to be Vista 64, and right now, Nvidia's driver support for Vista, and especially Vista 64 SUCKS. Absolutely SUCKS. It's just one of those things.. in XP, he gets full SLI. In Vista 64, Vista only sees 1 card, and he gets way slower performance. The 680i chipset, for all of it's pros, has some issues still. Asus came out with the P5N32-E Plus, which is a hybrid chipset, the 650 northbridge and the AMD 590 southbridge.. so you get full x32 SLI, but it's so much more stable under Vista 64 that it's sickening. Nothing wrong under Vista 32 or XP with the 680i, but under Vista 64, the P5N32-E just slices and dices everything out there.

Although, I have recently replaced my 2 nVidia 7900 GTX's with 1 8800 GTX and I get more fps in World of Warcraft and other games. The Peripheral manufacturers need to work on their drivers for Vista. This is the only problem. If you don't use a Soundblaster sound card or nvidia/ATI video cards you may have problems with Vista.

RE: [H] A note to Microsoft...
That is one of the problems with Vista, there 's like 5 or 6 versions. This is where people get discouraged and have a bad experience with Vista. Slower? It is a bit slower on my Laptop, but on my Gaming machine it actually works faster, especially in games. I think it because of the multi cores. Actually, It does not do much more than XP does. In fact I would not recommend buying the OS to replace XP. But if you get a new computer I would recommend getting the OS. When getting the OS, I recommend getting Home Premium or Higher.

Gets annoying every time I turn the computer on or reset the computer. If you have a computer that was updated within a year or so of release of Vista you should be ok. I do not recommend using it as an upgrade OS, but if you buy a new computer you'll love it.

Re: [H] DFI vs Asus
I am currently using: Asus A8N-SLI AMD FX55 4x512MB of Corsair XMS Low Latency DDR Asus N6800GT etc... It seems to be running fairly well at this time. In fact in gaming it appears to be running faster than my 3.2GHz E Pentium 4. BTW, I am using Windows XP SP2 and not Windows XP 64-Bit edition. I installed XP 64-bit and it did not seem to be working very well with WoW and PlanetSide (My 2 favorite games.

They consistently have some of the best--if not THE best--memory around. Their non-Value Series stuff is of top quality. This lends itself to rock solid stability as well as good overclock characteristics, to those that care about that (I don't). And I like Logitech mice and Microsoft keyboards. :) All other loyalties are fluid. -- Tallyho ! ]:8) -- Congress finds more profit in supporting tobacco than you -- Cry Havoc!

Re: [H] CPU Fan for an AMD FX55
I really do not care for the silence of a CPU at this point. Although, I do not want it too loud. I will post specs on the computer Soon. This computer is new and worked well over the weekend as a burnin. Now I have just noticed the CPU temperature getting to high.

Re: [H] CPU Fan for an AMD FX55
I ordered the ThermalTake Tower112 with 2 of the Fans for it. Let's see how it works out. Regards, Hayes Elkins wrote: The ThermalRight XP-120 is considered to be among the best cooling heatsinks available and also the potential to be the most quiet - one problem is that it does not fit all motherboards and you need to check compatability. This is why I went with the Thermaltake Tower112 because the XP-120 would not fit my Asus without bending caps.

Re: [H] 32bit PCI card in 64 bit slot?
Harry good Explanation. Although, here is a story. This is a story of a SuperMicro Board and the tale of 64-bit cards. The SuperMicro board did run the cards (NIC/RAID controller) but not to the fullest extent. After moving the Cards to a 32-bit PCI the cards ran accordingly. Yes, it was a weird situation. I wish the rule applied to all, but it does not :( Harry McGregor wrote: Ok, Since none of the collective have really given you the true straight up answer, here it is. It is NOT the 32bit vs 64Bit that is an issue. The issue is one of speed and voltage. PCI v2.2 exists in the following forms (this does not include PCI-X or PCI-E) 32bit 33MHz 5 Volt (this is the most common standard PCI) 32bit 66MHz 3.3 Volt (not very common slot wise, but a reasonable number of cards can do it) 64bit 33MHz 5 Volt (A lot of Mac G4 computers used this) 64bit 66Mhz 3.3 Volt (most common server PCI bus, and has been extended to higher speeds with PCI-X) Older athlon MP boards used the 64bit 33MHz 5 volt (Tyan Tiger MP), while newer ones used the 64 bit 66MHz 3.3 Volt (Tyan Tiger MPX). It's all in the cutting of the card, and the blocks in the slot. If the card physically fits, it will run (or the designer should be shot). A 32bit card will run in a 64 bit slot, and 64 bit card will run in a 32 bit slot (I have a number of 3ware cards in 32 bit slots right now). A lot of cards are 3.3volt and 5 volt tolerant, some are not. The Digium quad T1 cards are a good example. The TE405P is 5 Volt ONLY, and the TE410P is 3.3 Volt ONLY. We have a 32bit SCSI card that is 66MHz and 3.3 volt capable, plugged into a 64Bit 66MHz slot on one server. PCI is quite nice in that it's hard to screw up physically. The notches in the card tell you what it can fit into and work with. Slots come in either 3.3Volt or 5 volt. Cards can be cut to be either universal or to be specific voltages A 5 volt only 32bit card will have one notch about 1/2" from the back of the slot (reverse of the back of the case) A universal 32bit card will have two notches cut into it. A universal 64bit card will have three notches cut into it. A 3.3 volt only 64 bit card will have one notch 1/2" from the back of the case, and one notch about 1.5" from the back of the cardslot. A 5 volt only 64 bit card will have two notches separated by about 1/2" Digium has a good page that shows it: http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=whatpcislot Harry On Thu, 2005-04-21 at 11:45 -0300, Thane Sherrington wrote: Can one put a 32bit PCI card in a 64 bit slot?
