I Just built my new rig a little bit less than a month ago. Everything worked fine until just recently when it started to get the dreaded "DS3R Boot Recycle Issue" where it just keeps resetting itself over and over and does not get far enough to get into the bios - no beep codes or anything...
i thought that vista64 had all kinds of compatibility issues and poor support for a lot of stuff...
either way, i tried crysis and assassins creed just a bit ago and they both run phenominally in dx10 on my new hardware and with vista.
What do you mean by "address" the memory? does it mean that i'm still using the 4gb of ram and it's just not showing it? Or does it mean that i cant use all of my 4gb at all...?
I paid for 4gb i want to use 4gb.
Is there a fix for vista to see all of it?
Read the initial post... and that will answer your question.
I just basically want to hear opinions from forum members and just kinda talk to you guys about it.
I just read a few topics over at the HardOCP forums talking about how the 9800GTX series actually under performs compared to the 8800GT/GTS series...
Is this true?
I got the 9800GTX thinking "what the heck, i'll spend the extra 80 bucks and get a little bit better performance out of...
Ok.
This is my rig:
E8400 Wolfdale
Gigabyte DS3R P35
4GB GSkill DDR 800
EVGA 9800GTX 512MB
400GB WD 7200RPM SATA 3.0
Pioneer 20x SATA DVD Burner
OCZ GameXStream 600w PSU
How well would Vista do on this machine? The parts will be here monday...
Is there cool tricks out yet...
I'm not really sure i trust Vista yet though. I have had nothing but problems with it, and it runs SO slow. XP has been so good to me. I got it so that from hitting the power button on my pc to a fully loaded desktop ready to use - 11.237 seconds.
Is vista really that stable yet? I have...
Thanks a lot for the advice.
Only problem is that i only ordered one hard drive. I wanna keep my system as neat as possible so im using SATA and i only have IDE HDD's laying around. I might just have to wait.
Is there any advantages to partitioning a system to dual boot?
I just ordered a pc for gaming that am going to install XP Pro SP2 on as my main OS. BUT... I want to play crysis in dx10 and other games that take advantage of dx10, and i know that you need vista in order to take advantage of those features.
The main concern is that im not sure which is the...
Thanks guys for the replies.
The reason i went for the p35 is because im not doing SLI.
Thanks for the step up program recommendation. I will probably do that when the new GPU's launch.
I love the smilodon case. I especially love it in black/silver/blue. The green one...
Yes, modoheo, thats what my board is. If you click the link to my list, you'll see everything i ordered.
I don't plan on overclocking right away, but i do plan on it down the road once i get used to my system.
Thanks for the advice!
I think it would be silly to wait. When all these new products launch - all the current stuff will still be fast and good. I just ordered a bunch of new parts myself last night and im darn sure gonna be happy with it for at least 2 years. Plus, with all the prices on these current parts so low...
Hey guys!
I've been lurking here on AT forums for several weeks now reading up on people's builds and getting an idea of how mature the boards are here. Seems pretty fun and legit to me, so i decided to sign up, so here's my 1st post!
Now... i DID read the sticky about posting and...
