what is your highest overclock with the a64?

A64-3000 Stable at 260 x 9 = 2340 with 2 x 512 Corsair XMS XL running at 1:1 of course, and full load temp 47'C with copper heat sink (will get an XP120 and lower it a bit more as well). will boot at 275 but is not stable beyond 270 in Prime95 and Memtest. CPU voltage is stock ( I recon...

X800 XT... "PE"? Difference is what?

It is just a small clock speed diff, and not something to write home about imho. It is not SUCH a big difference, and on 99.9% of the occations you will be able to clock your no PE card with ati tool easily as high and maybe higher if you need to. As Steffenm said they are noy out on AGP...

12ms 19" LCD for 350. any good?

Most 19" have 1280 tbh, thing is dude, take a look at the LG monitor they have for 19", tis 1280, no DVI of course for this range, and 12ms, and tis LG with a guarantee of 0 pixel tollerence!! Better to go with something known to the market imho.

Best Memory for A8N Asus Deluxe???

I got 2 x 512 Corsair XMS XL, and worked fine when I first put them on, immediately run at 2-2-2-5, and o/c well as well, im at 9 x 265 atm, with A64-3000, and the memory is just fine:) I would thing the OCZ EL Rev 2.0 will be such as good tbh.

Are APG video cards still worth it?

Housecat has everything right in my opinion as well. I just got a new rig with A8N-SLI, I was to get the MSI Neo 2, but when I learned that pci-e is coming to the AMD I waited, and its worth the wait. I got an MSI 6800GT OEM, in tha uk and payed 260 quid for it. Thats 500$ but bear in mind...

DVD Burners

16x is as much as we are going to see fromthe current tech. Already at 16x the disk is spinning in excess of 10K rpm / minute and its the physical limit of the machinery included. so dont expect to see anything faster than this. And do not confuse the 52x of a CD-r with the 16x of a DVD...

This board compared to tha Asus and Gigabyte has also another problem (not for all peeps of course but a one for those wanting to use SLI) that is that the distance between the two pci-e ports is very small and there is a chance that the secondary card (the one closer to the cpu) will overheat...

25ms will be fine as long as you play games that are not fast paced like Q3, NFSU etc where the responce time actually maters, even in Farcry that you are moving cautiusly ( SP mode ) you will not get ghosting, but if you planned on running Q3 on it I would not recomned it since the fast games...

AMD prices are too high

An A64-3000 Winchester can go up to 2500Mhz from 1800 stock so the bigger boys can go higher than that as well, but what MAD has shown the world is that the Brute force of the Intel CPUs istn the only thing needed to make a cood chip, Intel thought the Mhz is the only way to be fast and screw...

Possible to mod my 9800Pro?

The 9800Pro o.c's well but you need to have a good core (R360 instead of R350) and good Memory (Hynix instead of the other ones). Ati tools usually tells you what you have in a documents generated for the card I think, you can check for yourself as well though, just look at the memory (if i has...

Speed difference upgrading just the motherboard?

Just by changing the mobo and keeping everything else the same you will not notice big differences tbh. The dual channel will give you around a 5% on the ram speed but thats it mainly. Dont expect anything serius imho.

Is SLI worth it?

What id say, is that if you need/want to run anything in 16x12x4x8 and you can afford it then go for it, otherwise there is no reasson, since in 1024 resolutions it offers close to 0 benefit these days. In newer games to come tho it might prove a big advantage, and the best thing to do ( that...
