<0> good luck?
<1> i'd say spend the extra $20
<0> dont you think i've already tried? i can you know
<1> i have a 4600ti
<0> herpes extra $20 on what
<1> board
<1> to get an nforce or whatever
<0> yeah but that means an extra $400 for a new vid card too
<1> ah
<0> so its not a matter of $20
<1> yeah
<0> it'd be an easier decision if i had a newer agp vid card
<2> agps bad
<1> the board seems good.. but **** like my dvd being slow makes me wonder
<1> hopefully i've ****ed it up somehow
<0> theres like a 16 page thread on anandtech about the board
<1> got the link handy?
<0> http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=29&threadid=1637097&frmKeyword=&STARTPAGE=10&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear
<0> thats a few pages in obviously
<1> it has some ****ed up cpu upgrade jumper
<1> that kinda makes me wonder too
<0> its for future compatibility
<0> seems pretty hokey but you dont have to use it if you dont want to
<0> **** i wish ASUS would make a dual board
<1> right.. but would anyone really want to use that?
<0> then i'd have no qualms
<1> no ****
<0> no it must be a bottle neck to use it
<0> but then again old comps back in liek P133mhz days had cpu riser cards right
<0> or were the riser cards for pci slots?
<0> i forget
<1> pci
<0> yeah haha
<1> usually.. people like nec and packbell had cpu on them some
<0> it must be a bottle neck
<1> what having agp also?
<1> i'd guess its just chipset support
<1> or marketing
<1> is it worth it to make a dual board
<1> ASrock is the budget division of ASUS. I have never owned one, but i have heard people that had were very satisfied with them for being good at a nice price. They also said support was the best.
<1> i think TEKRam used to be budget asus
<1> those were good boards
<0> no i meant the cpu riser musts be a bottle neck
<1> shouldnt be .. in theory, but the chipset has to support it of course
<1> plus i cant imagine having a socket hangin off some riser with a fan on it
<1> the way fans are now
<0> true
<0> maybe if it were laying on its side
<0> tahts why it worked for the non-tower cases
<1> heh yeah
<1> maybe thats why i dont like it.. flashbacks
<0> i work at a mill now.. i got access to all sorts of really nice douglas fir mouldings and boards
<0> makes me wnat to build a case
<0> but it'd probably be too hot
<1> wooden?
<0> yeah
<0> itd look real good tho
<1> ehh.. with proper vents
<0> plus i got an urge to build something
<1> might catch fire tho :D
<0> heh yeah
<0> these cpus these days are nuts
<1> you could cover some ****ty case
<0> thats an idea
<1> like trim panels
<0> i think i'd like all wood tho
<1> it would weigh a ****ton
<0> even if im the only one that knows
<0> yeah haha
<0> but how often do you move your computer
<1> true
<0> i can make it out of half inch boards but still
<1> unless you are a leet gamer
<1> i'd want some metal in it
<1> like for the mb plate and card slots or something
<0> yeah it'd be so much work im not gonna do it
<1> i think i'll trim mine out with OSB
<0> that'd be ugly
<0> im talkin $10/lf interior vg fir here come on
<1> heh
<1> kidding
<1> cypress would be nice
<1> or some teak
<0> teaks cool
<0> my uncle had some of this japanese black maple
<0> apparently its super super rare
<0> pretty cool looking
<1> i wonder if anyone has done that
<1> wood case
<1> never heard of it before
<1> http://www.silentpcreview.com/article237-page1.html
<0> i've seen a few
<0> theres some crazy cases people make on some miniatx site
<0> it'd be quiet thats a bonus
<3> does a 7200 rpm sata seagate barracuda hd need a fan in the external enclosure?
<4> Ummm
<4> are you still here method?
<5> if it ain't dupper!
<4> Jen, how do I know you?
<5> you don't?
<5> >>
<4> I don't know where I remember you from
<4> or am supposed to remember you from

<4> You are a disrespectful IRC female, you deserve no different.
<4> meth, any external enclosure should have a fan
<5> I'm not disrespectful >>
<4> I'm open-minded
<7> external enclosures with fans = 20 more dollars than without
<7> that's ridiculous considering the price of a fan
<4> Not considering the price of a hard drive or the convenience of an external enclosure

<9> what's a good wireless router?
<10> erh, disconnected. what's a good wireless router?
<11> Mannen linksys wrt
<12> RogerRabb, I'll check it out. I bought a netgear wpn824 but I'm returning it.
<12> RogerRabb, linksys don't seem to have any 108 mbps routers, which I find odd, considering netgear is releasing a 240 one.
<11> why are ya returning it?
<12> because it's a piece of crap.
<12> haha
<12> it's retstarting now and then, "just for fun" I guess. so I get disconnected.
<12> also, I bought a wpn311 pci wireless adapter. my computer kept freezing.
<11> everyone I know who has used the linksys wrt54g has raved about it
<12> I contacted netgear, and apparently, it doesn't work with VIA-chipsets.. the box doesn't mention that anywhere
<11> eg it detected a lot more local networks than anything else
<12> you'll find the same thing if you google it.
<12> 54mbps is pretty slow though
<11> the 240mbps one is using 802.11n?
<12> RogerRabb, http://www.netgear.com/products/details/DG834PN.php
<12> erh
<12> wrong link. http://www.netgear.com/products/details/WPNT834.php
<11> oh right
<11> proprietary stuff
<12> hm?
<11> you'll only get 240 if you use all netgear gear
<12> yeah
<11> is speed that much of a concern for wireless?
<12> apparently.
<11> for you
<12> I don't need 240. 108 is a minimum though, or I will have to figure out a wired setup.
