MSI K8N Neo now available

FWIW, I have the Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu cooler on my Neo Platinum. Obviously, I couldn't use the Zalman backplate and stands on this board due to the MSI installed plate. So I used the stock plate and a pair of motherboard stands from an old computer build that approximated the height of the Zalman...

MSI K8N Neo now available

Another recommendation for the K8N Neo. Got it about 2hrs ago from ZipZoomFly. Installed in an hour, XP loaded in less than 20min. MUCH better than the Chaintech VNF3-250, although I probably had a bum board. Installed with an Athlon 64 3200+ and (2) Sticks of Crucial CT6464Z40B 512mb DDR400...

MSI K8N Neo now available

Placed my order today, looking forward to a good experience after a horrible run in with the VNF3-250. Ordered Crucial 512mb RAM (CT6464Z40B) to go with it. Anyone else order this pair? Thanks, -Evan-

Chaintech VNF3-250 Problems

Well, I ended up RMA'ing my board, proc, and RAM back to Newegg and buying the MSI from ZipZoom right before I came back and saw your reply. ;-) Tried everything I know to do with the Chaintech and it just wasn't working out. After playing with it for two days, I was just disgusted with the...

Chaintech VNF3-250 Problems

Hi, thanks for the reply. I tried lowering the speed of the DDR500 and the DDR333 modules to 166, no change. Just tried a different PS (Antec 350w) with just the board, floppy, hard drive, and DVDROM connected. Same result. Chaintech's support and web site are pretty bad. I bought this board on...

Chaintech VNF3-250 Problems

Hi all, and thanks in advance for reading/commenting. Bought the Chaintech VNF3-250 and Athlon 64 3200+ from Newegg. I've built literally hundreds of PCs and have never had the problems I'm experiencing. I am unable to load Windows XP Pro. No matter what combination of hardware I use, I'm...

Chaintech 7NIL1 Northbridge Fan (nForce2)

Hi everyone, thank for checking this out. I have a 7NIL1 Rev1 I purchased about 6mos ago. I realize that this is hardly an enthusiast board being mATX and all, but the price is right and the stability is there. I ended up replacing the northbridge active cooler with a Zalman passive heatsink a...

Q
Which OS for my new computer?

As a long-time user of Windows 2000 (back to beta) and a current user of XP, I can confidently say that you will not take a major performance hit from XP Pro so long as it is to be installed on a current machine. I've had w2k running on machines as slow as P133 with 64mb RAM, but would recommend...

Ghost Dumped to Different PC's

I have also had this problem when cloning w2k/wXP systems with different IDE controllers. The solution I stumbled upon was to install a Promise66/100/133 PCI controller card in the new machine before booting. This seems to circumvent the problem. I'd love to hear any other solutions to this...

post your 3dmark scores (and video card)

Matrox G450 w/16mb PIII 933, 384MB PC100, Seagate Barracuda 80GB on a Promise ATA100 673 3dmarks on 3DMark2001SE, lol I'd upgrade if the Parhelia wasn't so much of a dissapointment. I'm not giving up Matrox 2d. Plus, Unreal 2k3 plays just fine in Instant Action for my taste. I'd like it to be...

Portable MP3 Players... Sensory or Teac?

Hey guys... thx for the replies! I may be new to players, but not MP3. I have a library of over 1100 albums, about 19000 tracks total (concerts, imports, singles, etc.). I'd love to get an iPod, but this is my first endeavor into portable MP3 players so I'd like to take it slowly - no rushing...
