<0> msi k8n neo4 is a pretty good board
<1> Yes it is
<0> hehe
<2> im thinking about an abit board
<2> its what i had before
<0> if you want a abit board, get one of the premium ones, because the cheap ones will die on you
<0> they're having problems with the chipset fan going out
<0> i guess you could replace that and be ok
<2> is the fatality boards worth the money?
<3> i just went out and bought a new power supply.. hooked it up .. 430w antec ... and it's making a high pitch noise... and it persists.. i turn it off after like 5 seconds.. anyone know what's up? nothing in the documentation
<0> i thought the fatlity boards only supported intel
<0> hmm
<0> i see now they do support amd
<0> i dont know if they're worth 200$ though
<0> i wouldnt give that much for it
<1> Yeah
<1> I like MSI for motherboards, AMD or Intel, hands down
<3> asus!
<4> asus!
<1> lol
<1> ASUS is okay
<4> asus rox my sox
<1> K8V series ****s anus
<4> and my box
<3> anyone know why my power supply is screaming?
<4> you are hurting it
<1> SCREAMING?
<3> high pitch noiuse
<3> noise
<4> SCREAMING!
<4> the fan on it is probably busted
<4> you can try putting your penis in it
<4> to see if its working
<2> amd 64 fx and the 64 x2 do are they ok one the same board
<2> i thought i saw you can do a bios update or something
<2> they are both soket 939 right
<1> Sir-Spot: Most boards support both without doing a BIOS update
<0> yeah
<0> deak: does that non sli version k8n support the x2?
<3> Buddy on the phone said, defective capacitor.. come back and we'll swap it
<4> bs
<2> socket 939 is the newest socket right
<4> a cap wouldnt make it make high pitched noises
<3> well what the **** is going on man, brand new.. i just opened the box
<0> Sir-Spot: for a few more months
<4> the phan.
<3> does the PowerFan need to be connected to the motherboard>?
<2> what a new chip coming out?
<0> they're coming out with the m2 socket later this year that's 940 pin (but not compatible with the old 940 opterons)
<3> i hooked up the power fan to the motherboard.. screamed, disconnected it, screamed.. ****
<4> REEEET
<2> this is the first time in about 2 years ive even been on the net
<2> it ****s
<4> the intarnets
<4> how can you go without internet for 2 years?
<4> id probably shoot myself in the head
<2> it was a long couple of years
<2> no broard band acess
<2> no dial up nothing
<1> haha
<2> im just now trying to catch up
<1> I had to go 3 weeks without internet while I was waiting on a mobo RMA once
<1> Hell;
<2> i moved from illinois to texas left alot behind
<2> my net was gone when i moved
<0> before i started hanging out here a few months ago i didnt even use my computer for a couple months
<2> damn cow pastures
<0> really didnt affect me much. went places stayed busy
<0> heh
<0> you could have got satellite
<2> i used my pc less and less
<2> i couldnt afford sat
<0> the only broadband i have at my house is satellite. im on sat. right now
<2> and my sister didnt have a land line
<0> ah
<4> 3 weeks
<2> how much {eneerge
<0> you dont have to have another line now.. it uploads and downloads throught he satellite
<4> id be so bored by week 1.5 that id be contemplating building a house out of popsicle sticks
<5> satelite is horrible for multiplayer gaming or things that require low latency
<0> i download at 100Kb/s which is about 800kbps
<4> yea my friend has satelite
<4> its ok for browsing
<4> but for games he gets like 999 ping
<2> i loved playing multi players
<0> yeah
<0> i go to the shop to play games
<0> got dsl there
<2> here at the shop im at now
<4> what shop
<2> my work
<4> ORLY
<2> ?
<4> lol
<4> wow you have really missed a lot
<2> i know i have
<2> pretty much no new games for 2 years
<2> when i was up north i had cable
<0> games have really improved
<2> my pc was grabbing stuff left and right while i was at work
<2> no i when i came home it was just sitting collecting dust
<2> i played some ps2
<2> not much
<2> now its tax time and ive moved in to the city
<2> and away from my wife
<0> where you at in texas
<2> south of dallas
<0> ah
<0> i got to houston every now and then
<0> like once a year
<2> where u at now?
<0> mississippi
<2> i got friend that go every few months
<2> when i moved ddr ram was just hitting big
<0> i usually go with my dad. he had cancer a couple years ago and he has to go out to MD anderson for checkups. i'm probably not going to be able to go this year
<0> yeah ddr is great
<0> lot better than rdram
<2> now they have are moving from agp to pcie
<0> yep
<2> whats the deal with that
<0> pcie can transfer data quicker
<0> video cards transfer over 30gb/s now. agp could never have performed that fast
<2> ok i was looking at abit mobo at8 i think it the newest one they have
<2> but i cant see if it is released yet
<2> it has an ati chipset
<2> but i still need to get a new vid card right
<0> yeah, you will have to get a video card that's on the pcie16 interface
<2> ok
<2> does the pci-e's run old pci cards
<6> :/
<2> which video csrd would you recommend
<0> well since you got an ati chipset, i guess you should get an ati video card.... that's going to be the most expensive part you're going to get probably... x1800 series would probably be your best bet... the x1900 is the newest
<0> the x1800 released a couple months ago, and the x1900 released last week
<0> in march nvidia is releasing it's g71 cards and ati my have something up their sleeve to counter against them which would drop prices (maybe)
<0> i have a nvidia 7800gt and it does pretty well
<2> if i get a crossfire
<2> do i need a second card for it
<0> no but the crossfire versions are sometimes slower than the non crossfire version cards
<0> like the crossfire x1900 is 25mhz slower in the core and 50mhz (~) slower in the memory compared to the XT version
<2> then whats the deal with them
<5> haha, stainer is back
<5> <stauber71> Could getting lower than normal fps when compared to other people mean that i have a cruddy version of my graphics card that is possibly damaging my pc?
<2> once i get the second card it a power house or something
<0> you need them as your "mother" card if you want to run crossfire
<0> crossfire combines 2 cards together to so you will see twice the performance
<2> ok
<0> the performance jump is generally not 2x though. more like 1.7x
<0> if you're running a single setup, i wouldnt get one
<2> i was going to say
<0> where's stainer at?
<2> for 500 then another 350 its crazy money
