I dont see how Nvidia can pull out of this death spiral personally. Apple just dumped them which means the guidance for Nvidia's future desktop/laptop parts is bad. If Apple expected Nvidia to be ahead in a year or so they would have been more diplomatic. They just got bent over by Rambus which...
BX6 rev 2 was the board back in the day. The features on the BIOS were unmatched. Abit was never the most reliable though and when Asus and MSI caught up in features it was all downhill for Abit.
One of their Athlon I boards I had was flawed it produced memtest errors and heavy instability...
The older EeePC had a case and plastics that were much higher quality than the Wind. I know because we had both in our home. From what I've heard the new Asus netbooks have much lower quality plastics. This EeePC I used was a 1000ha.

The GPU rankings are all messed up the 130m is actually close to the 240m in performance. You can spend $300 more than this laptop and only get 20% more performance. As far as battery life you're either going to have to seriously...
Yeah this model has severe sync/handshake issues with all HDMI components. I have a Ps3 and a Philips HDMI DVD player and it will be working fine and suddenly the screen will flash go black and then go to snow. You can go for weeks without this happening sometimes but then other days it happens...
Hi I am seeking the expertise of this forum to help me pick the best price/performance card for this aging system.
I have a 350w power supply so that might also be a factor though the PSU calculator I used said I should be ok. Though under full load with the latest cards I would be cutting...
For future information it appears that several Asrock boards use PCI-E 1.0 slots and this is where there is some confusion.
The Asrock 939 uses PCI-E 1.0a slots that boards like the 8800gt and the 3870 do work fine with.
I have found several confirmations of this on the web, including...
That price seems pretty good, no sense breaking the bank for a card that would get marginal improvements due to my CPU.
Do you have a link for that card?
Also any word on whether the 8800gs works on this motherboard, the price of those is around $100 w/rebate.
Do you think the...
Hate to clog the airwaves here but I did a brief search for the PCI-E video cards that work without issue with this board. But I didnt find much. I would appreciate if someone could post the more recent cards that are known to work well with this board.
Actually spoke too soon. The Asrock dual-sata lives!!!!!!! Knock on wood this board is hardy.
It was seemingly out for the count, but like some kind of self-healing cyborg it lives!
I had the same problem as you and not coincidentally I have a Smartpower power supply.
Smartpower is an awful design that can and does kill motherboards with bad power. My Smartpower PSU killed my motherboard and maybe the CPU.
I tried the Smartpower in a system I knew to work and it...
Well I probably didnt do the smartest thing here but I needed to know what exactly was going on.
Installed the Antec Smartpower into a motherboard and system I know is working. System posted but hung almost immediately, couldnt even get into BIOS.
Thankfully the Antec didnt destroy that...
For anyone who has a Smart Power I have a question.
The back fan on the Smart Power wasnt spinning up on boot and I was just trying to verify 100% that it should be spinning up on boot.
The reason I am asking is because this isnt a cut and dry problem. I removed the Smart Power I thought...
Honestly I wouldnt risk it. My Smart Power wasnt even overloaded. And the powersupply began to produce bad power at some point and destroyed my motherboard. The Smart Power is a bad design to begin with and overloading it could damage the components of your system.
Its not something I would...
This is my Asrock 939 Dual Sata post-mortem. Really upon reflection this board is a mixed bag.
Obviously the price of this board was phenomenal $67 for a board that allowed me to upgrade my system from an XP 2000 to a then top of the line Athlon 4000 64. Keeping the AGP videocard, my DDR...
Thats why CS isnt usually that bad, after getting banned 5 times in a row people learn that if they misbehave too bad they get banned.
Xbox live is a snakepit because there are no clans running the servers and no moderation. I'm not holding my breath for Microsoft to actually provide any...
I just happened to be watching CNBC and they interviewed the head of Vivid(#1 porn maker by a factor of 5). The guy said they were putting out dual format discs that both blu-ray and HD-DVD could play. He also said he thought blu-ray was the better format.
Just more fanboy nonsense.
And you feel the need to tell us why exactly? If thats what you want to do, do it.
I've returned plenty of things but I dont feel the need to post about it on Anandtech.
Frankly though what did you expect its a launch system with only a few good games, to say the 360 had better games at...
I personally wouldnt want pot or someone who smoked pot at my residence. He'll more likely hang around with people who could potentially steal your stuff. Also despite whoevers opinion it is illegal so you could feasibily have cops busting down your door at any moment.
Also from first hand...
I bought one, sometimes they send you cards that overheated with a standard cooler, so its possible to get a card with a larger(and possibly noisier) cooler.
If you get a really good price its worth the risk in my opinion though.
The Ps3 is now sold out at Best Buy.
I dont understand it, blu-ray sucks. I mean who wants to see movies at 1900x1080 v. 720x480 for DVD?
The Cell sucks, who wants an 8 core processor? The games? The console has been out for like a month and theres like 3 exclusives out for it. I expect 20...
People in northern climates are loving it. Everyone else, not so much.
Summers in most of the world now are totally intolerable, you feel like you're going out of your mind.
Get back to us when you're changing 6 discs on some epic game on the 360 whether blu-ray is worth it or not. Thats not even bringing up its built-in ability to play videos in 1900x1080 resolution versus 640x480 for DVD.
Its a little sad to see people being misleading about the consoles. Anyone who has looked at the Ps3 knows that the Cell processor is a totally different and more powerful design (8 SPEs with 1 control processor). Early ports are obviously not customized for the Cell.
To take the performance...
I guess people are taking their shots at the Ps3 while they still can. Because anyone who has studied the two hardwares knows that its just a matter of time till the Ps3 is producing better games than the Xbox360.
You inspired me to add another one:
11. Despite being naggy and overly demanding always sees you as the source of all the trouble in a relationship and sees themself as blameless
Women are more to blame than men most of the time, despite womens desire to pin it all on men.
1. The woman demands unrealistic perfection from her man in all areas.
2. Instead of being compassionate with their mans flaws, uses them as an excuse to attack them and put them down.
3...
You sure you dont have such intense self loathing that when someone likes you, you think they're crazy to do so?
A lot of women are like that, thats why some women only respond well to being mistreated.
Absolutely not, Big East is a very weak conference. Does anyone believe that WVU, Louisiville, and Rutgers would have near the records they have if Miami, VT, and BC were still in the conference?
Grocery store margins are very thin. Say 5-8%. Thats why when you go into a new grocery store these days, half of the store are specialty breads and cakes, and lots of in house prepared foods. The margins on these sort of things is much higher.
