    Advice for scientific (i.e. non-gaming) build

    For pure scientific number crunching I'd say get yourself some PS3's and network them together. Those Folding@Home benches are pretty stupid. Of course I have no first-hand experience on how to go about this in the real world. Maybe someone else does. (Google it?) I would think the Cell CPU...

    GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

    Prices will drop when demand drops. If I had to take a guess, I'd say it will die down after Xmas but we won't see $200 512MB stock versions until February-March. On the upside, I have noticed that the cards have been staying in stock longer now. Newegg, Frys, and a few other places had stock on...

    GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

    Yeah, heat was the main issue from the forums/articles that I've read. I think the number being thrown around is ~56,000 cards but don't quote me on that. It's been linked to a fan speed issue mainly (some are reporting bad memory probably due to overheating). The fan apparently is staying at...

    GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

    The initial review of the 8800GT on Anandtech mentioned that the price for the card should be BETWEEN $200-$250 US dollars. Keep in mind, this is quoted directly from nVidia. Anandtech themselves didn't believe them either, hence the quote: "Initially, we thought that the 256MB parts would be...

    GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

    Was trying to make generalization based on a high-demand product. I'll buy an HD-DVD player at $100 bucks but not at $300. You get my point.

    GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

    Ordered my Dell MSI card on the 27th and ship date says 12/12 (so the same 15 day cushion as MadScientist). I'd like to think Dell has more pull with manufacturers (cough*Intel*cough) than many other retail chains, if any. Their volume is so much higher than everyone else but I suppose in the...

    I think Dell finally figured out how economics works. The lower the price, the higher the demand. The higher the price, the lower the demand. After god-knows-how-many orders (backorders that is) they took off the 20%discount. The MSI card went from a respectable $208 (what the 8800GT should...

    GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

    Some 8800GT's come overclocked directly from the manufacturer. The stock speeds set by nVidia are 600mhz core, 1800mhz memory (900 DDR3). The overclocks from manufacturers vary from 625-700 core and 1850-2000 memory. The Dell XFX card is stock clocked (600/1800) at $234 and the Dell MSI card...

    GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

    Look what I did, created a mess for you guys, lol. At $207 you can't argue with that. I've had MSI mobo's and GPU's before, never had a problem with any. Besides, the GPU is straight from nVidia anyway. The only thing manufacturers do is tweak the BIOS (i.e. clock speeds) and put their logo...

    GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

    It appears the Dell $207 deal is back up with a ship date of 1-2 weeks just like the more expensive XFX card. This is the MSI card with a stock overclock that the XFX doesn't have. Now THIS is what the the 8800GT should be priced at. Almost ordered 2...

    With demand the way it is, no way. If you wanted to ask for these for Xmas, have Santa give you a rain check. Unless nVidia drops a huge number of these on the market anytime soon, don't expect to see $200 for a 512MB stock speed version until Feb at the earliest.

    GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

    Still in stock as I write this. Sooner or later the demand for the card will wane and retailers will be forced to lower their price. Really can't blame them for gouging but yes it does suck for those without patience. See the quote from the first post? "We can expect the stock clocked 512MB...

    The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

    Figured this might help someone on here. Purchased a refurb P5N from the egg last week. From reading on the net about it's poor heatsink issues, I ordered a water block for the NorthBridge. I used a smaller heatsink I had lying around (kit from CompUSA posted on here somewhere) for the...

    AMD Price cuts coming 2-12-07

    In half huh? AMD already owns the low-end market as the C2D 6300 is still a bit high for most in that segment. Lowering their prices even more will solidify their dominance in the mainstream market (read: our parents and everyday users). Every computer I've made in the past 6 years has been AMD...

    4x DDR2 DIMMs - Do they all need to be EXACTLY the same?

    I'm looking at adding 2 more DDR2 dimms to my work computer and it currently has a measly 2x 256MB DDR2 PC4200 (533mhz) in it, modules made by Hyundai, timings are 4-4-4-12. If I buy 2x512MB DDR2 PC4200 with the same timings will they play nice with each other? So mixing these Hyundai...

    MSI K8NGM2-FID Onboard LAN problem

    I'm having a similar problem with the K8NGM2-L board. Windows recognizes the ethernet controller but no matter what driver I throw at the wizard, it won't take one. The L board has the Realtek 8201CL 10/100 LAN and as stated above, I've also seen the Realtek website say a driver is not needed...

    How do I get my ram to run at stock speed? (433DDR)

    Minotar, here's the steps you need to take (which posters have already said in this thread, I'll just put it in noob speak). 1. Go into the BIOS (hit delete key most likely on startup) 2. Find where it says something like "CPU Ratio" or "FSB Setting" and set it to 217. This is usually in an...

    What are your Prescott 775 temps?

    Have a 2.8Ghz Prescott 775 running at 80 degrees FAHRENHEIT (not celsius) using stock HSF. Would like some other temps to compare as I KNOW it's gotta be WAY to low. Mobo is a Epox EP-5EPAJ with the 915P chipset. I realize different mobos report diode temps differently, but this has to be WAY...

    Asus A7N266-VM power switch problem

    You were right, the mobo was grounded, but I'm not sure by what. I put in one screw at a time, thinking they were doing it, and I got all if them in without a hitch (fans still coming on). But once I got everything else hooked up, it did it again, but I knew it wasn't the screws, so I un-hooked...

    Asus A7N266-VM power switch problem

    That's exactly what I thought also. The markings and manual condratict each other. A tried the screw driver trick on top and bottom with ALL the pins, just to be thorough. My guess now is a DOA mobo. Just because the LED is lit up, doesn't mean the mobo works, right? Thanks for your help. I...

    Asus A7N266-VM power switch problem

    That's exactly where I've had it the entire time and still nothing, no bootup. I'm not sure what could be the problem.

    Asus A7N266-VM power switch problem

    I know where the pins are, but I've tried moving them around in a million different combinations and nothing works. I even turn the 2-pin connector around, as the manual states that could be the reason it doesn't work. This is my 3rd computer I've built, just FYI so I like to think I'm not...

    Asus A7N266-VM power switch problem

    Here's the deal, the on-borad LED is lit up meaning that the mobo is getting power, but the computer won't boot up when I press the power switch and I'm pretty sure it's the power switch connection (blue/white 2 pin connector) is incorrectly hooked up. The manual is wrong about the jumper...
