Re: [H] AGP video upgrade
So true! Ever since like Catalyst 7.6+ they have been fracking the AGP users and to a lesser extent the non-HD series PCIe users! Still loving my X850XT AGP with older drivers but am in the process of aquiring parts for a new Intel system will likely not buy ATI even if I go X38 chipset. No SLI for X38 because nvidia are being lamers not letting their driver do SLI on it but who can resist the 8800GT when the price settles?

Re: [H] Links to MWOven TS?
Someone say Reefer? LOL Yes, I know there is also a meaning for this context! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reefer DHSinclair wrote: Thanks Rick, This one did float thru my brain ! I am going to try this one also, after I move the MWO to the other side of the reefer. If that doesn't do it, I'll try the extension cord business. Great idea. Thanks. Yes, I do suspect the phone line is in the wall parallel to the AC wiring to the MWO. The previous owner did not have a computer. He did dishwashers and reefers to keep the lady happy!

Re: [H] X-Box 360 questions...
XB 360 = 1 in 3 failure rate. There are cheaper ways to destroy media LOL! WII on the other hand looks cool, cheaper, has a few good titles inovative controllers. PS what?

Re: [H] Video Card Question
Agreed on Sapphire's RMA being no sweat, good company. HD3850 Best bang compared to 8800GT when they hit $200 in a few weeks??? News to me! zaske wrote: James Maki wrote: I've owned several Sapphire cards and even had a Radeon 9600XT go out on me. Sapphire gave me an RMA no questions of warranty and sent out a replacement within a couple weeks. Highly recommended! I hope you'll support AMD because as we all know without their competition we'd still be barely past the era of the PIII and prices would be astronomical as well. You should read some reviews on the new AMD 3850's as they are currently the best bang for the buck @ an inexpensive $180. It's really not that much more expensive than the others you're looking @ and would future proof you for a couple more years. Be a better pen pal. Text or chat with friends inside Yahoo! Mail.

Re: [H] QX9650 Phenom 9500 thoughts
Got a heads up on what's good in X38 boards that are DDR2? Frackers are damn expensive at over $250, never mind the $300+ ones, so I want to choose right. Was going to try track down the disco'd GA-680i-DQ6 until I read the bad press on 680i's SATA problems from last year combined with trouble now on newer CPU's. Of course loosing SLI option in the process, but no likely to use it anyway. Intend on getting a Q6550 CPU since it's good for what I can afford. Chris Reeves wrote: Ok, we're in the middle of like the Christmas push here so all the QX9650s are going out the door. Just some thoughts: . People on Nvidia 680i boards: you're totally f*(*. It doesn't work. Hell, it barely posts. But, like the Q6600, it just sticks at multiplier 6 when it does post.. and that's not often. Humorously, the Intel 965/Q33/P35/X38 all get it. (The Intel 975 does not..). So, if you invested heavy in a 680i board and SLI.. you're hosed until the 780i, which isn't until the 17th. . The performance is SICK. Forget the fact that it's the same speed as the QX6850.. the thing runs damn near cold. Using an Artic Pro 7 fan, the processor easily sticks under 30C.. that's pretty incredible. * Team it up with an X38 P5E3-WiFi, and you get 5.9's down the board in Vista.. not bad. * DDR3 is still incredibly expensive compared to DDR2, and you really don't want DDR3-1066, you want DDR3-1333. * Sticking with your 680i?
