<0> no
<1> but i wouldnt spend that much
<0> but u cant afford dual sli 7900gtx
<0> but u can get 2 7900gt's for the same price as 1 7900gtx
<0> and its faster
<1> Really?
<0> if u shop right
<0> dude google some reviews and check tomshardware and anandatech
<0> you will find answers:)
<1> the problem is that mobo you just gave me wont support conroe
<0> well
<0> the only board officialy is that intel board
<0> BUT
<0> in a year if your gonna upgrade the boards supporting conroe in 2-3months
<0> are gonna blow in a year anyway
<0> plus ddr2 pc800 is gonna be what u want
<1> im buying a conroe in mid2007
<0> and that intel board i think is only supporting up to 667mhz
<1> I have DDR2 PC2 5300
<0> which is 667mhz which is all that intel board supports
<1> i dont need the best computer
<0> they have boards now at 800mhz
<1> Will that ASUS support conroe?
<0> my point is u can get a better mb now with more features cheaper that doesnt support conroe
<0> not at the moment
<0> nothing supports conroe cept that 1 intel board
<0> maybe once conroe is released mroe boards will support it
<1> is it possible for the BIOS to be updated to support conroe?
<0> i think its not just the bios but power issues as well
<0> if u have a computer now why dont u just wait the few months for conroe
<0> i think july it comes out
<0> june is next week
<1> i dont have a computer now
<1> i have this p4 1.8ghz
<0> what are u on then?
<0> thats a computer
<1> Because I dont like buying buggy first gen stuff
<0> im on a celeron 466 laptop your in much better shape then i am
<1> now hold up a second though
<1> SLI 7900GT (dual) > 7900GTX ?
<0> but ull buy a intel mb that supports conroe?:)
<1> yeah, i guess i sort of contradicted myself
<0> duo everything is doubled on the 7900gt
<0> just gotta add the #'s up
<1> I see
<1> how much is a 7900 GT?
<0> i believe
<0> its not much faster
<0> but its faster
<0> im sure u can find benchmarks somewhere if u search
<1> but that might be lost in the SLi
<0> the problem is which is what im running into the mb's with sli have issues
<1> which is why i would rather just buy a GTX and be done with it you know?
<0> with power and raid
<0> thats an option to. but u wanna spent 250bux on that intel board which lacks lots of features and may not support conroe
<1> i might get an ASUS
<0> u can atleast spend the same amount on an asus board that may or may not end up supporting conroe its up in the air now
<0> and its the same price with many more features
<1> because youve made me remember that it might not support conroe and it might be buggy as hell
<0> well
<0> i dont think things are "buggy" like u claim
<2> who do you like better for video cards? nvidia or ati?
<1> tis what RuKK told me
<2> I have an nvidia motherboard
<1> nvidia
<0> the 65nm 930 chip is new as well
<2> so thats why I got an nvidia video card
<2> ati makes good stuff no?
<1> yeah
<1> like sapphire
<1> but i prefer nvidia
<0> svx what mb do u have?
<2> asus k8n-dl
<2> I'm reading on wikipedia
<0> do u have power supply issues or hdd issues?
<2> I see all these features
<2> but I want to know the benefits you actually see in reality
<1> toodlez is a 930 any good?
<0> duo i dunno i bought it cuz its the best bang for the buck
<1> but with this computer i should be able to top out games for awhile right?
<0> i havent used it yet
<0> id ***ume so
<0> but if yer looking to upgrade in 2007 everything u buy now will be good until then
<3> is there a problem with the new incremental bf2 patch or not?
<0> SVX: do u have trouble with yer hdd's or power supply on yer board?
<2> no way
<0> hmm
<2> power supply on my board?
<1> Toodlez: What would you suggest A) Buy the ASUS and Dual SLi 7900GT OR B) Buy the ASUS and a 7900GTX OR C) Buy the Intel and 7900GTX
<0> thats all i read about the nforce4's
<2> I have an antec power supply
<0> no power supply for the computer
<0> how much power?
<2> **** I forgot
<0> is it the sli 1?
<2> 550W
<0> im lookin at an intel board u have amd
<1> toodlez?
<2> dual 940 socket baby
<0> but ive just heard the same general issues with the nforce4 stuff
<2> I got 2 opterons in that su cker
<0> duo its up to u man
<0> depends what u really wanna do with a computer
<1> gaming
<0> i havent decided myself
<1> which do you think would be best?
<0> well gaming
<0> the nforce4 sli board
<0> is built for it
<1> so...the ASUS?
<0> but its if you plan to run dual vid cards
<1> If I don't it will still be good though, right?
<0> ask SVX how he likes his board:) not me i dont own 1 yet
<1> Im going to buy the ASUS
<0> the p5n32-sli deluxe board is supposed to be good under all conditions. BUT and the big BUT is
<1> that is compatible with the 930 right?
<0> ive googled and there is issues with the board
<1> oh really?
<1> well in that case shouldnt i just stick with the Intel?
<0> duo it needs to be flash upgraded to the newwest bios (allstar cost about 20bux more then everything but will flash it for u)
<0> duo asus makes other boards that are good
<0> its up to u
<1> What would be the best ASUS board?
<0> i think intel boards lack alot of features and usually under benchmarks dont end on top
<4> can you even afford this stuff DuoMaxwel?
<0> the asus boards ive looked at are between p5n32-slu deluxe, p5ndw2
<2> if you turned off hardware acceleration that means your cpu would have to do all the work your GPU normally does?
<0> also the p5ndw2 premium
<1> which one is 250 dollars or less/
<5> who makes best LCD displays?
<1> samsung
<1> imo
<0> duo all 3 boards i told u are under 250
<5> ok thx
<0> pt for tv's?
<4> samsung supply a lot of panels..to the likes of dell and such
<1> toodlez: do any of them have a chance of being upgraded (BIOS, etc.) to support conroe?
<1> is there ANY chance for any ASUS board to get a new BIOS which will support conroe?
<4> there's a particular samsung panel used in the apple cinema displays
<0> duo the P5NDW2-E Premium has the chance but that board is 250bux its heavy in features though
<1> thats fine
<0> ptackbar personally i think sony's lcd's are the best i havea dell my buddy has a sony with xbrite and his looks way better then mine i think
<1> im going to get that ASUS then
<0> thats alot of money on a baord that may not support conroe
<1> well, you said it has features
<5> sony's are overpriced
<1> and its only about 40 dollars more
<4> features that you probably wont even use.
<0> duo your best bet is to just hold out for the conroe to hit and buy 1 of those mb's if they support the pent d and if they dont support pent d they will drop alot in prices anyway
<0> external sata, dual gb lan, firewire
<0> **** like that
