    amd64 vs opty which to buy and why (newbie needs tutorial)?

    Well, all processors that aren't OEM come with a heatsink. The new A64 heatsinks are awesome! I just purchased an Opteron 170 recently myself. The difference between the Opteron core and other S939 stuff is the Opteron cores run at a lower voltage and higher L2 cache. Since they run at...

    Ageia PPU...maybe not so great after all.

    Minor complaint, but this thread eminded me of Oblivion. For some reason the game urks me that in this day of age you still got invincible crates and jars everywhere.

    Opteron 170 cancled!

    Well, according to AMD they're going to stop producing Socket 939 Q1 2007 to make way for AM2 and future sockets. Also, Opterons are better because they run cooler/lower volts/higher OCs in turn because of htat.

    DFI LanParty UT CFX3200-DR

    I bought one last night when I noticed it on newegg. I had to get it because of the layout! Allows two dual slot PCI-e cards and still have 2 PCi slots open (sound card and possibly PPU). that Abit board you mentoined up there, that turns me off because of the single PCI slot availible if you...

    I need 2GB's of PC4000 for better OCing with my setup...

    Newegg.com has that same memory but with printable $40 mail in rebates. I recently purchased the new DFI RD580 board and I was about to ask which memory to get for to optimize my OCing (chilled liquid) on my Opty 170 and I think I'll go with the OCZ brand mentioned up above. Not meaning...

    Asus A8R32-MVP With Cross Fire. Which VGAs I need?

    I actually prefer Asus's layout because you can fit two PCI cards with two PCI-e cards install. The Abit only comes with two PCI slot and the bottom PCI-e card will block one of the PCI slots.

    Is this the correct CPU?

    Yeap, that's the correct PSU. Where you getting it from? I have a similar mobo to you. I decided to just upgrade because for the price you pay for a 3.2E you can buy a new mobo and an A64 3000+ (which made me depressed).

    Updated Intel Pentium, Conroe Pricing

    *drools* Can't wait for the Conroe EE! That will be the processor I get! Of course.. as always will be waiting for Anandtech's benchies for the final decision. :)

    Intel's Conroe Now In Hands Of A Few

    Totally correct. After all we'd be seeing Conroe in July and then of course you hafta wait a few months until all the kinks get worked out in the motherboards so that's an even longer wait. Instead of waiting you can buy something now and have fun. Plus, like many people I'm really waiting...

    Going from Athlon 64 3200+ to 64 X2 4400+

    Just to be nitpicky, it's just A64 3200+ and A64 X2 4200+. Athlon XP is the old Socket A processor. Should be just as simple as taking out the old processor and putting in the new one. Also, the X2 4200+ is faster then the Opteron 165 unless he overclocks. OCing the Opty 165's are pretty...

    Do you think my computer will perform good until 2009?

    After seeing Crysis I'm thinking, no. The devs making Crysis said that DX10 will be a big framerate booster over DX9 so already a DX10 card to me is necessary over the horizion. Saying you're not going to upgrade anything until 2009 is unrealistic. Just upgrade here and there when you get...

    New videocard, horrible artifacts, what do you think is the culprit?

    I did a reformat of Windows XP last night and the problem is still there (grrr). I was talking to a friend and he suggested maybe my PSU isn't giving my videocard enough juice but to me that doesn't seem like that would cause that problem. It is a five year old 420W PSU that came with my case...

    New videocard, horrible artifacts, what do you think is the culprit?

    My old 9800Pro was starting to artifact horribly in and out of games so I decided it was time to get a replacement. I'm really trying to hold out for AM2 or Conroe this summer before I do a major upgrade. To try and keep some life in my five year old PC for just a little while longer...

    Is BTX ever going to happen for AMD boards?

    As far as I can tell, BTX was just Intel's excuse for better cooling for their hot future processors (yes I know it's designed for better airflow). Then AMD started making processors that produced less heat, the same with Intel. Now BTX has kinda stalled since that need isn't there yet.

    What's the word on thermoelectric cooling?

    Raid?

    No no, Raid is something that you hear about in a MMORPG when you're a lvl1 n00b. Then you level grind until you've almost hit the game's level cap to join into these "raids" to quickly find out how boring they are and stop playing that MMORPG.

    1 GB 2-3-2-5, or 2 GB

    Oh yeah, I meant to say (as BigCoolJesus reminded me) to go for 1GB sticks. Keep your banks open, you don't want to fill them all up in most cases. If you want 2GB go for like 2X 1GB Corsair Value or OCZ Value.

    1 GB 2-3-2-5, or 2 GB

    If you plan on OCing, 1GB for the low timing. If you don't plan on OCING, just for some cheap CAS 3 stuff. The difference in real world performance from CAS 2.0 to CAS3.0 to me is just way too minimal to care. Looks great in synthetic benchmarks though.

    Anandtech's review of Gigabyte's i-RAM

    It would have to be atleast 16GB to be useful. Nice idea but pointless at only 4GB and the weak SATA 150 controller. Gigabyte needs to go into the direction of a hybird HDD/i-RAM.

    Best PCI Express Video Card For ~$100?

    You should check your friend's system, he could be over paying something that he could bring down in price to put into a 6600GT. PC n00bs tend to pay for overpriced stuff quite often.

    Installed 7800 GTX and now I can't select 1280x960?

    Wow.. crappy upgrade. You'll pretty much get exactally the same performance as you did with your x800XTPE. Researching is good my friend, you just blew away $600. x800XTPE at that resolution would have been fine for a while yet.

    Is cheap gaming dead?

    I also remember back in the day when I used to play Unreal Tournament on software rendering because it was faster then hardware rending (on my crappy Cyrix II-333MHz e-Machine with 16MB of embedded memory). It was the first time I ever overclocked though jumpers on the motherboard (so annoying).

    Is cheap gaming dead?
