Buy the P35 now or P45 later?

I'm wondering if the P48 will be worthwhile over the P35. I'm unsure as to weather or not it's worth buying this month, or waiting another 2-3 months and buying the "next best thing". I realize there will always be something new coming right around the corner no matter when you decide to buy...

USB ports don't power down when computer is shutdown

There should be a jumper on the motherboard to enable/disable the USB ports being powered while the computer is shut off. Check your motherboard's manual.

ASRock 4Core1600Twins-P35 good for overclockers?

My current system is bogging down my new video card and so it's come time to buy a new motherboard/CPU/RAM. I'm thinking of purchasing the ASRock 4Core1600Twins-P35. Overclocking is important to me, yet not "$200+ on a motherboard" important. The more any said features are the more I'm...

Been a while.... (2-3 years).... What's hot now???

What about a board like the ASRock 4Core1600Twins-P35? I am in the exact same boat as the OP (only I do game quite a bit, yet I'm not at all interested in SLI). Overclocking is important to me, yet not "$200+ on a motherboard" important. The more any said features are the more I'm willing to...

Which chipset for s775?

Thanks for the replies. I may just wait well into January as I hear new CPUs will be available then, with chipsets too I'm sure. I'd like to be able to keep this motherboard for 2 years, preferably 3, while replacing the CPU once or twice during its lifetime. How long do they plan on...

Which chipset for s775?

My socket 939 AMD X2 system is getting long in the tooth and is starving my 8800 GTS, so I'd like to get a new CPU/Mobo/RAM in a couple months. Trouble is, I haven't been paying attention to all these new chipsets which have come available over the past 3 years. I hear Intel's P35 chipset is...

Which first; video card or CPU/mobo/RAM?

Thats kinda my thinking too. If I did buy the CPU/Mobo/RAM first, I'd still have a craptastic video card which wouldn't be able to keep up with a game like Crysis (at least the way I want to play it). If I bought the video card first, there'd be a really good chance the game would play just...

Which first; video card or CPU/mobo/RAM?

Yeah I'm not buying anything till after the Crysis demo is out. Then I'll be able to see how everyone else's hardware is holding out before making any decisions with my wallet in hand. True. It all depends on how the Crysis demo plays in the end though. If for instance systems like mine...

Which first; video card or CPU/mobo/RAM?

With Crysis coming out in a couple months I'm getting antsy about upgrading my system to maximize my enjoyment of the game (and other games to come). My original plan was to wait until just after Crysis's release (this is still true) and buy a new high end video card, such as a 8800GTX or if...

Does an AGP 2.0 board fit in an AGP 1.0 slot?

Ment to ask "What about an AGP 3.0 compliant video card (like the 9700) in an AGP 2.0 compliant mainboard?

Does an AGP 2.0 board fit in an AGP 1.0 slot?

What about an AGP 3.0 board (like the 9700) in an AGP 2.0 compliant board? The reason I ask is because I plan on upgrading my video card soon, and being as the mobo I currently use cannot support DDR, or AGP 3.0 (its a kt133a chipset based board) but it can support the newer Athlon XP chips. I...

HardOcp has some ATI-9700 3DMark scores

With results like that, they better be (and must be) beta! BTW, NicColt's sig got me thinking, does anyone know if Doom 3 will be using only DX8.1, or 9.0 effects?

GeForce 4200 vs. 4400???

Actually, I'm planning on buying an XP eventually. Being as My 900 is OCed to 1050, I doubt the extra 150Mhz would make a diffrence.

GeForce 4200 vs. 4400???

Well, now that the GeForce 4200 has been released, an easy answer to what I should replace my Geforce 2 MX400 has just gotten harder. At first I was planning on getting the ATI 8500 64MB, because of its low cost, but the lack of memory (its as much memory as my GF2) and the fact that the new...
