Alright, can someone explain the whole RAM divider thing? And yes, professor, it is indeed a 9x CPU. Thanks for the replies!

ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 - Socket 939 with PCI-E and real AGP and Socket AM2 upgrade path

This probably doesn't belong here, but I figured I'd field a question to the fellow owners of this board (which I love btw). I am currently trying to overclock my CPU, and can get up to 250HTT if I enable the memory flexability option, but the memory runs at ~150MHz. However, if I disable that...

New Soundcard...suggestions?

I was checking the reviews on Newegg, and someone mentioned that this card doesn't encode in AC3 format, diminishing its capability of playing .avi's in 5.1. Is this true? I won't really be using this to play DVD's, as I have a progressive scan DVD player hooked up separately, this will mostly...

New Soundcard...suggestions?

5.1 in gaming isn't too important to me, as I don't have the room to set up my 5.1 comp speakers. I usually use a USB headphone set while gaming anyway, basic thing is decent sound quality for the optical output, as I play music and movies through my digital receiver with it. 5.1 optical and...

New Soundcard...suggestions?

Well, I'm concerned with both. I'd like to step up to a good quality card and hear the difference that everyone claims is there. but the optical output is necessary for connecting to my receiver in 5.1. Plus the reviews I've read state that the Turtle Beach drivers have difficulty in gaming...

New Soundcard...suggestions?

I recently replaced my old motherboard with an ASRock Dual-SATA 939. The problem is, my old motherboard had onboard optical audio output. My current motherboard does not. Now sound quality-wise, I've never had a problem using onboard audio, but it seems this new motherboard has decided that...

Bumping because this is annoying. Anyone else have this headset that uses it successfully? The headset sounds great, but the microphone delivers a low-frequency hum...

Stick with AGP or upgrade?

The install is probably 3 weeks old...it was one of the things I did to make sure the problem wasn't my hard drive or windows installation. I guess it's time to back up everything and re-install.

Stick with AGP or upgrade?

Alright, so the mobo is on the way, and I'm planning on a swap tomorrow, but I have one question. I've never swapped out just a mobo on a system, and have always done a fresh install of windows with a new mobo. However, since the mobo is the only thing I'm changing out, do I have to do a fresh...

Stick with AGP or upgrade?

Thanks for the replies guys! I'm just about ready to purchase this, only one question...will it fit my beast of an XP-120? I'd hate to have to get rid of that, and the board looks like it'll handle that, except the northbridge HS is looking kinda close...

Stick with AGP or upgrade?

I had recently been having a lot of trouble with my computer lately, and have finally narrowed it down to a malfunctioning motherboard. This leaves me at a bit of a quandary, as I now have to decide whether to simply replace the motherboard with another AGP motherboard, or bite the bullet and...

best aftermarket cooling for 6600GT?

Thanks for all the replies! I'll be picking up the Zalman today or tomorrow, and give you an update on my new temps! (Rivatuner reports ~60C idle and 90+C at load! Also, as for JBT, you're right, I remember researching the difference in heat dissipation between the AlCu and all Cu HSF when I...
