    ASUS P7P55D Pro - only half of total memory is available

    I bought the same processor and same mobo, but now I'm worried that my ram won't work with it. I picked up 8gb of G.Skill Ripjaw DDR3 2000 (PC 16000)...I haven't done any overclocking in years, but was thinkin' about giving it a try this time. I am just wondering if I should just return it and...

    WD Raptor Noises, What is Normal?

    Raptors are going to be louder than regular drives...the spin speed pretty much guarantees that. I had a 36gb 1st gen that was pretty loud and I just upgraded to the Raptor X 150. The 150 is considerably louder. It might be that I put it in a different spot in my case, but it just seems a bit...

    Safe to check my desktop as luggage for flight?

    Why don't you get the biggest carry-on allowable and just carry it on the plane with you. Not sure if it would fit (depends on the size of your case I suppose) but that's your best bet. Worst case, just pack the case in regular luggage and carry on all of your components. Cases are easy (and...

    LCD recommendation?

    That is basically the same setup I've got and I have the 24" Dell and I am very satisfied with it. I can play games at their highest settings without many problems at all...and a lot of the newer games coming out all support 1920x1200, so that won't be an issue going forward. Of course if you...

    Need a new computer to last 4 years.

    You guys are complaining about the cost of a printer and a 1gb usb thumdrive when the total cost needs to be under 2500 bucks? You can get both for under 100 bucks...easily. Just switch from quad to dual and you're golden.

    Box shuts off abruptly, what should I check?

    Mine was doing that too...PSU for sure.

    "1080P" monitors

    You can also run games from the Xbox 360 at 1920x1080 with the VGA cable. That's how I have mine hooked up to my 24" Dell. That way you get some small black bars on the top and bottom...an indication of true 1080p output (the dell is a 1920x1200 native, resulting in 120 pixels not being used...

    P4 3.2 GHz compared to C2D E6300

    You should actually complain about that. I've heard of guys getting really nice cards after they complain about the performance of replacement computer systems.

    Seems to be working fine on my 24" Dell...

    EVGA's 8800GTS 320MB

    A few bucks? The 640mb's are around 75-100 bucks more. And at only a 5-10% gain in FPS...is that worth it? I didn't think so.

    New Computer Help

    I got almost exactly the same stuff you're talking about and I almost had the same rig as you previously as well...LOL. I went with the e6600, a Gigabyte DS3 mobo (seems to be really popular), 2gb Geil DDR2 800mhz and a PNY 8800 GTS (320mb)...and it is significantly faster than my previous...

    New Build - Update: E6600, DS3 and OCZ 8500 are here!

    Nice...I'm pretty much right with you in terms of hardware...I just upgraded as well. e6600, DS3, 8800gts (320), WD Raptor 36, 2gb Geil DDR2 800mhz...damn fine rig.

    Strange Shut-Down Issues

    Anyone know if those temps are fairly normal or should I be investing in a better heatsink? Maybe even re-do the thermal compound. I've heard people doing crazy overclocks on the stock C2D fan...so it doesn't make sense that mine is running warm at stock speeds.

    Somewhat Quick Question

    I've got the PNY 8800GTS (320mb) and it's been outstanding. I jumped from an Athlon 64 3500+, 2gb DDR3200 and an ATI X800 Pro to my current e6600, 2gb DDR2 800mhz and 8800 GTS (mobo upgrade was negligible) and I couldn't be happier. Significantly upgraded my rig and spent less than 800 bucks...

    Strange Shut-Down Issues

    Haha...yes, I took off the protective coating on my CPU fan...LOL. I used some Coolermaster High Performance Thermal Compound and the CPU is running idle at about 43 degrees C according to Speedfan, the program I use to monitor my CPU temps.

    Strange Shut-Down Issues

    I was actually wrong about what kind of PSU I had...I had an Enermax Noisetaker EG425P-VE...which is a 420 watt...but it's like 3 years old it seems. I dropped the new Antec Neo HE 550 in there, we'll see how it works now. I mean it obviously works, since I'm on the PC now, but we'll see if it...

    Strange Shut-Down Issues

    Yeah, it isn't the memory. I had my old memory in there for the first shut down and then I got a new set of faster stuff and it was in there for the 2nd. So two sets of memory...I know it's not that (or at least it's very unlikely).

    Strange Shut-Down Issues

    No one is messing with the Power as far as I know...I'd notice that my alarm clocks and stuff would be resetting. I don't have any tasks scheduled at all either...it's a brand new install of XP (and Vista previously). So it's not a software issue. The main problem is that it has happened...

    Strange Shut-Down Issues

    You think? Wouldn't it shut down while playing games or something as well...not just in the middle of the night when no one is touching it?

    Strange Shut-Down Issues

    Everyone, I've got an interesting issue. I just rebuilt my entire computer with new components. The only items that carried over from my old system were the case Lia Li, the Power Supply (Antec 420 TruePower) and the HD (WD Raptor 36gb). I got a Gigabyte DS3 mobo w/ a e6600, a 8800 GTS...

    4GB Hitachi Microdrive

    I have tried 3 different compact flash Type II adapters, none work. That's not the issue...I don't think. Oh well...I'll just buy a 2gb CF.

    4GB Hitachi Microdrive

    I must not have explained my intentions well enough. My entire point is to use the 4gb Microdrive in my navigation system which has a pcmcia slot in it. I can copy all of the music I want via the reader on my monitor and printer...but as soon as I stick it in the pcmcia adapter, it won't...

    4GB Hitachi Microdrive

    Jiggz, I mentioned that I can already read it. My question is, I want to read it with my PCMCIA slot, how do I do that? My car doesn't have a usb port and that is ultimately the main goal...but I can't even read the thing on my laptop with the PCMCIA Type II adapter. Mark, That is...

    4GB Hitachi Microdrive

    Everyone, A friend of mine broke his Ipod Mini. I took the Microdrive from it and I want to use it my laptop (via PCMCIA) and then eventually get music on it and take it with me in the car (my Nav system has a PCMCIA slot). The Nav system works fine with a Type I adapter and a compact flash...

    Mobo/CPU combo for Under 450 (Gaming Rig)

    Well just a little update...got a Zalman 7000-aclu fan on my 3500+ and I've got it up to 2.45 ghz stable. Been playing BF2 all night and it hasn't had a single problem. I love it. Thanks for the advice guys. BTW...I cannot believe how freakin' loud the stock fan is on the AMD's and P4's...

    Mom doesn't live here, and I already bought my system. Thanks though.

    Mobo/CPU combo for Under 450 (Gaming Rig)

    Guess no one cares... But anyway...has anyone had any luck with the ECS board? It seems to be pretty quick and stable...not sure how overclockable it is.

    Mobo/CPU combo for Under 450 (Gaming Rig)

    So I went with the 3500+ Venice and an ECS KV2 Extreme mobo. Sure, the mobo isn't that great, but I got a deal on it and I was restricted to Fry's Electronics. They didn't have a single board that was suggested on here. I hate that place, never again will I purchase from them. So far so good...

    Mobo/CPU combo for Under 450 (Gaming Rig)

    Well I've got an Enermax Noisetaker 420 watt PSU and a Coolermaster Hyper 48 CPU fan that I figured I'd use. I've had good luck in the past with ASUS, MSI and Soyo boards...Gigabyte, Abit, ECS and Shuttle have all disappointed me over the years.

    Mobo/CPU combo for Under 450 (Gaming Rig)

    Now, would it be advisable to go down to the 3200+ Venice if I'm going to overclock a little bit? I can save around 70 bucks if I do that. What do you guys think?
  32. D

    Mobo/CPU combo for Under 450 (Gaming Rig)

    Well I never mentioned it...but that's why I kept harping on the fact that it may be hard for me to find a particular board. If I had 3 or 4 options, it would exponentially increase the odds that I find a decent one at Fry's. I appreciate your input...I actually had already written your...

    Mobo/CPU combo for Under 450 (Gaming Rig)

    No need to be sorry... My issue is that I have to purchase this system at Fry's because I'm returning the one I bought last weekend. Understand? Fry's isn't exactly the best when it comes to stocking boards, and if they do have it, it's probably opened already.

    Mobo/CPU combo for Under 450 (Gaming Rig)

    Actually another question is will I see a significant performance boost over something like the 3400+ (Newcastle or Clawhammer) that runs on the 754 boards? They are probably 50 bucks cheaper and have a slightly higher clockspeed at 2.4 ghz. Another limiting factor is that I'm still using...

    Mobo/CPU combo for Under 450 (Gaming Rig)

    Ahh...thanks guys. I'll probably tinker with some overclocking, but I'm by no means hardcore. In fact, if I get a system to go from 2.0 to 2.2 or 2.4 I'm a happy guy. So going with the 3500 Venice, if I could get it up to 2.4 or 2.6 I'd be in heaven.

    Mobo/CPU combo for Under 450 (Gaming Rig)

    Anyone?
  37. D

    Mobo/CPU combo for Under 450 (Gaming Rig)

    I'd probably go with the 3500+ because it's about 50-75 bucks cheaper (via NewEgg anyway). Which version is better? Winnchester or Venice? What is the difference anyway...the specs look exactly the same.
  38. D

    Mobo/CPU combo for Under 450 (Gaming Rig)

    Good points...plus, can you even get 754's that support Dual Channel anyway? I like 939's for that reason alone. So I should definitely look for a 939 with a 1000mhz FSB. Am I going to get a better "bang for the buck" with the 3500 as opposed to the 3700 or is it a fairly even comparison?
  39. D

    Mobo/CPU combo for Under 450 (Gaming Rig)

    Yeah I was assuming I'd be good with the 3500+ or the 3700+. Are there any big disadvantages to going socket 754 compared to 939 when it comes to overclocking?

    Mobo/CPU combo for Under 450 (Gaming Rig)

    I put this post in the motherboards forum on accident so I'm sorry for the repeat thread...I'm more interested in my CPU options because I know I'm severly limited staying with the AGP form factor. I just dont want to drop my X800 Pro at this point. After having multiple problems with my...
