<0> could anyone help me out, im looking to build a computer and i just have a few questions.
<1> dont ask to ask.
<1> just ask
<0> ive decided to go with athlon 64 x2 3800 dual core cpu, ive did some research on the moboboard to go with that chip
<0> and it looks like the Asus A8N32-SLI-Deluxe motherboard is best?
<1> a lot of people like that board
<0> im ***uming
<0> that the board comes with onboard audio and video
<1> not a bad choice by any means
<1> onboard audio, yes
<1> not video
<0> and i plan on buying my own video card and audio card, so they really arent necc***ary
<0> is there any other boards that would be recommended
<1> you might want to hold off on buying add in audio and see if the onboard meets your needs
<1> onboard has come a long way
<0> i see
<0> audio is very important in my eyes
<0> errr. isnt
<0> audio isnt very important in my eyes
<1> or ears
<1> :P
<0> haha yeah
<0> ok so you would suggest that board
<1> yeah, wait before you buy a soundcard then and see if you like the onboard
<0> what about ram for that board
<0> i dont want some off market name memory company
<0> any suggest for some quality ram?
<2> crucial
<1> unless yer overclocking, corsair value or the low end xms. if you are overclocking, the high end xms, or some ocz
<2> not great for overclocking but good solid stuff
<1> or crucial, muskin, any of the big names
<1> im not too ram picky myself. i think its been presented well enough in here and elsewhere that unless you are overclocking and need that headroom you dont need to blow tremendous cash on ram
<1> but get 2 gig, regardless
<1> youll really notice the diff btwn it and 1 gig
<0> ok im looking into some prices now
<0> with that Asus A8N32-SLI-Deluxe its PC3200?
<1> yeah
<0> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146575
<0> is that the ram i should shot for?
<3> omg, hardware is so cheap in the us :p
<4> eh?
<4> not to us.. lol
<3> the price in $ :p
<5> what temperature is overheating for your hard drive?
<4> i think somebody said 48 yesterday
<4> i've never worried about it myself
<3> celcius?
<4> yeah, i think so
<3> 55 C on a Hitachi Deskstar
<3> is max
<5> 134F for my cpu :/
<4> wow
<5> what's yours run at?
<4> much lower
<4> i get scared if mine gets over like 115
<5> I wonder if I should get water cooling
<6> pentium d 820 or opteron 165 dc?
<5> I don't want my pc being any hotter than I am
<3> 111f on my cpu now
<4> i think mine hovers around 108-113
<7> I have a dell dimesion that won't power up at all.. I've tried unplugging everything (cept ram and cpu) and tried serveral power supply.. the power led on the front of the case just blinks and ther power button seems to be non responsive
<7> Anyone have any ideas of how I can get it to boot?
<3> plug the cord from the powerbutton on the right pins :p
<4> flash it?
<7> :D I've tried plugging it in and unplugging them several time
<7> s
<7> I don't know how to flash it.. I can't get it to even post
<4> look in your manual..
<7> I'd know how to flash it if I could get it to boot
<7> But it won't boot
<4> yank the battery
<7> I did
<7> How long should I leave it yanked?
<4> 30 minutes to be safe?
<7> and I can't find a CMOS reset jumper
<4> should be in the manual
<7> I don't have a manual
<4> download it
<8> what can I use a pci-e slot for?
<8> I don't see anything that uses it
<8> I don't see any sli video cards that use it
<4> starting to be more to use
<8> lots of video cards support pci-e x16 though
<4> yeah
<4> i think theres 16, 2, 1
<8> is pci-e x16 much better than apg?
<4> some boards have 2 16s
<9> What would cause a brand new PC that i just put together not to boot at all. the power comes on but that is it
<9> the hdd dont boot
<8> DC91P those are the sli boards that have 2 16s
<8> AMDMan do you see anything on the screen?
<4> does it beep AMDMan?
<9> no beep
<10> omg google stock is over inflated
<9> ill chk the screen
<4> sometimes board manufacturers will have the jumpers set wrong, they put it in the manual for you to change it..
<4> some people end up not reading the manual and blowing the board :p
<6> pentium d 820 or opteron 165 dc?
<6> need to know quick
<4> heh
<9> the fan dont spin the hdd dont come on or the dvdr, the the power led is on
<4> humm
<6> ....
<9> i dbl chked the manual
<6> ;\
<4> you sure you have a big enough power supply?
<9> whats ACPI
<9> yup
<4> power interface
<8> isn't the only difference with pci-x, pci-e, pci-e x16, and agp slots just throughput speed?
<4> slot physical aspects :p
<8> besides that
<8> isn't the main difference throughput?
<4> price is cheaper it seems now
<8> argh
<8> you know what I mean
<8> technical differences
<8> performance
<8> blahblah
<4> not much between 8x and pci-e 1, i think
<4> i'm not sure they still make 8x cards
<9> is there a jumper to get the hdd and other devices to start up when yo u take it off?
<4> that would be kinda cool
<4> you have got the power supply switched to the correct power type right?
<4> keyboard is plugged in?
<9> not sure
<9> no keyboard or mouse yet just wanted to see if it boots
<4> i had a new computer someone bought and wanted me to setup a while back..
<9> what power does it need to be set to
<4> it would not boot until the keyboard was plugged in
<9> k will try
<9> what power does it need to be set to
<4> US is the lower
<4> EU is the higher
<9> k
<1> President Bush's State of the Union speech will focus on kitchen table concerns of ordinary Americans, while also addressing U.S. leadership on the world stage. With gas prices rising again, he will declare America is "addicted to oil," and will call for new technology to break that addiction, according to excerpts released by the White House.
<4> ha
<1> better get used to hearing about oil, cause its all you're going to hear about for the next few years.
<1> at least
<1> few probably being 10 to 20 :P
<4> steam powered is coming..
<9> 115/230 is that the watss its putting out?
<4> i don't look for it to be in real release until at least end of 2007
<4> yeah
<4> that's the outlet type
<4> outlet/power type
<9> so 115v is what it needs to be right cuz im in US?
<4> yeah
<4> i think it's technically 120... but, yeah
