RE: [H] Upgrade questions

Are you looking to overclock? If so, take a look at 680i based boards, such as the Gigabyte GA-N680SLI-DQ6. Absolutely wonderful board--I have one--but they're about impossible to find right now. The first production run sold out much faster than expected; stock isn't expected to return for another

[H] Vista - Network profiles

Just installed Vista Business, for the hell of it, on my laptop. Is there a way to set it up so I can have the LAN connection have one profile (Static IP, Mask, Gateway, & DNS) for my office and another profile for when I am roaming (DHCP provided IP, Mask, Gateway, & DNS)? -- Regards, joeus

[H] ASACPI missing

After I rebooted my box last week I have been getting a message like "Need ASACPI.sys on ATK0110 ACPI utility" I click cancel and everything seems to still work as before. What can I do to get rid of this bothersome message? I installed ASPI32.exe and it made no difference. I ran ASPICHK.exe and

RE: [H] Upgrade questions

Thanks Greg, initially I probablly wont overclock but I have overclocked every system I have owned so I guess I will eventually. I've seen a few mentions on the list of Gigabyte boards lately and was going to look at them but I have had Asus for at least the last 8 years and they haven't let me do

RE: [H] Upgrade questions

JEDEC DDRII standard voltage is 1.8v. You won't find any memory faster than PC6400 that is rated to do its specified speed at 1.8v though. The issue is that Micron D9GMH seems to have a tendency to fail over time at high voltages--and that threshold seems to be >2.1. It's really quite unfortunate.

Re: [H] ATI/AMD's upcoming flagship HD 2900 XTX will most likely suck

I have not laid hands on the XTX. Unless I am very wrong, we are not allowed to say anything on the XT as it is, because it's still an NDA covered property. All I will say is: I do not understand their benchmarks. That is all. On the other end, I would say this: The one thing that ATI has fi

RE: [H] Upgrade questions

I'll throw out another recommend for a different 680i board (the Gigabyte one is nice) most 680i boards though are using the Realtek HD, which has DTS-Connect and DD-Live, so you're covered there. I've become pretty fond of the FoxConn entry. the N68S7AA-8EKRS2H. First, everyone is so enamore

RE: [H] Upgrade questions

Looks like a nice board. Too bad I didn't see it before--might have saved me about $600. :) I've been wanting to go watercooling for a while, but chipset heat problems due to heatpipe effectiveness in an inverted-motherboard case design finally pushed me over the edge, to the tune of about $450.

RE: [H] Upgrade questions

Yeah, that's especially true. If you're using an inverted case, like a Lian Li, etc. then this is the ONLY board I would consider. -Original message- From: "Greg Sevart" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2007 18:35:30 -0700 To: "'The Hardware List'" hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject:

RE: [H] Upgrade questions

Yeah. The heatpipes work great when they're mounted in a "normal" case, but don't work as well when they have to rely on the wicking action. I love my Lian-Li case so much that I was willing to spend the bucks to solve the issue once and for all. :) I ended up using a Swiftech Apogee GT block fo
