Turn X800 Pro into X800 XT PE with Bios Flash

I just checked my card and to my disappointment, I read Samsung GC20 :frown: I am still considering trying to flash my BIOS over to the 16 pipelines, but I am wondering what people's experiences with this is? I would make a backup of my original BIOS in case things go bad, but since I am not...

Samsung 710V and 710T LCDs?

I received my 710T from Dell.com the very next day that I ordered it (around 3 days ago is when I recieved it) and I must say, I am very impressed. I too was curious what the "catch" is, being so aggressivly priced and yet having better specs than the 172X, but all I can come up with is the...

This is starting to piss me off

That is a good idea and i may just do that. Do you recomend a custom built water cooling system or do the kits put out by thermaltake and coolermaster do ok? ALso speaking of cooling, I was already planning on buying a Cooler Master Hyper 6 heatsink, along with a case full of vantec tornado...

I get the feeling you do not understand something I typed... I dunno. Either way I will proabably end up with an AMD 3500 or 3800+ (3500+ looking better deal though)

Yea I was thinkin I may do that since socket 939 will be a standard, at least for a while. That way with some of that saved money I can put it towards funner things, like my car :thumbsup:

Um, but why not save where you can? Both are reliable companies are they not? And I have a very large budget, which is why I am considering this chip, but just because you have a large budget does not mean you should just squander it away.

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (Skt 939) Nforce3

The website says up to DDR400 support... isn't that kind of low? I was really hoping to get PC3700 Enhanced bandwidth memory from OCZ, but I dont know know if this board will support it?

Video Card Manufacturers
