Re: [H] Core2 Duo Mobo....... redux........

The Asus M2M WS Pro is on my "wish list" to replace my aging NF2 system. Just can't believe it comes down to like $1200 to replace mobo, cpu, ram, video & PSU with no way to do it "a piece at a time". :-( Paul Stuber wrote: > Uh, on the other side of this equation any comments on Asus am2 > Cr

I just fired up my new box last night: evga 680i, Core2 duo X6800 2G RAM 2 - evga 8800 GTS in sli 150C HD 750G HD X-Fi etc... This thing just *smokes* my old machine. The only benchmark I've done so far is FEAR, but with most settings at max and AA at 4x, avg FPS was an insane 140+, peak FPS

[H] W98se questions

Is there anyone on the list that can still discuss W98se? I'd like to trade questions offline/backchannel. I've built a W98se machine to play some old games, but need to know what's neccessary for a "solid" build. The system I have is very strange and I'm seeing behavior I never saw back when

RE: [H] Core2 Duo Mobo....... redux........

Most motherboards that accept the 2x4 pin SSI +12v connector state that the older 2x2 pin "P4 +12v" connector is acceptable. They are pin-compatible. Your PSU should be fine. :) > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hardware- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JRS > Sent: Th

Re: [H] Core2 Duo Mobo....... redux........

Thanx. :) Stupid question time, I see some of the mobo's have an 8 pin CPU power connector. My fairly new Antec Trupower only has a 4 pin CPU connector I believe.. So I need to budget for a new PS as well when going to Core2 Duo? >>650i supports sli. It has 2 pcie for sli the 680i has 3.

Re: [H] Core2 Duo Mobo....... redux........

Re: [H] Core2 Duo Mobo....... redux........

That's it? 680 supports SLI and 650 does not? Everything else, memory speed, CPU support, etc, etc, is the same??? >>Uhhh. $150? And 1 extra pci-e 16x slot >> >>Sent via BlackBerry from Cingular Wireless >> >>-Original Message- >>From: JRS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2
