yeah, my new system is pretty incredibly tasteful. What do you think, ASUS? ViewSonic VX2025 20.1" Widescreen LCD Monitor Antec P180 Case with Antec NeoHE 550 Power Supply ASUS M2R32-MVP Deluxe Motherboard (when available) AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ overclocked from 2.0 to 2.6Ghz OCZ...

upgrade... yes! yeah, I ordered my X2 3800+ yesterday at 2:01PM... 2 minutes after NewEgg changed their prices. Yay for being at work on my computer all day so that my e-mail price alert thing comes, and I can order right away. Although, I see that NewEgg still hasn't sold out of that, so it...

Xpress 3200 has two PCI-e x16 slots, while the 1600 has two PCI-e x8 slots in crossfire/one PCI-e x16 in single-card configuration. Benchmarks show the 1600 (such as the A8R-MVP) performs almost exactly the same as 3200 boards - sometimes even faster. Which one you decide to get boils down...

...they don't do crossfire. and as a stopgap solution (til I can get an Xfire mobo) I don't want to spend that much.

check this link for the description. The R.O.G. series seems to have some pretty good "enthusiast" features that are new on the market for any manufacturer. I'm sure they'll be more expensive, but I'll probably buy it at any price up to $260 or so.

When are the Crossfire Xpress 3200 mobos going to show up? I'm waiting on my sweet new system build because of the processor (which will be good to go on the 23rd/24th after the price cuts) and the motherboard. I'd like the option to do crossfire at some point in the near future. For now I'm...

upgrade time! Upgrading in the next couple weeks (at AMD price cuts) to the system listed in my sig. I hope ASUS comes out with an R.O.G. series board with an ATI chipset... and soon. I'm going all out with this baby - at least as all out as I can get with $1800. back to college soon, and...

interesting... The player models explain what Gabe meant by the new graphics style... :D I don't know if I like it yet or not, but I guess time will tell... but for now: YAY, TF2 is finally going to be released! :cheers:

Yes, I guess you're right... I was thinking Athlon XP came out in '98 for some reason... and I was too lazy to figure out if Intel's P4 had ever had the performance crown in any way. Thanks for remembering...! :cheers:

I must admit, as an AMD fanboy, this is a sad, sad day for AMD-kind. AMD has done very well in the last 8 years, and I would go so far as to say that they have held the performance (per watt/per dollar) crown fairly steadily over those years. With the release of Conroe today, at midnight, Intel...

good, but... It's a pretty good remake, but I miss my satchel charges! What are they going to do about (forget the name of the map) the one where satchel charges are required to reach certain side areas... that would suck arse if they just left them open at all times... but then, that is a...

wow. (in the words of Homer Simpson...) ghaghhaaghaaghhhhh... mmmmmm... Day of Defeat: Source... If it were not for the fact that I had to get something to eat, I would still be playing. Instead, I come back and finally find the halflife2.net site to be working again after a short outage...

I believe you have fallen victim to the sh*ttyness of D-Link. I had the exact same router as you, and some matching PCI wireless cards for my two desktops. I had the exact same problems, as well. I tried replacing the router only (with a good Netgear) and the computers were semi-able to ping...

LOL, static, your sig cracks me up... awesome find, man! Some people make so many lame excuses because they're trying to get their account back. LOL, I love it.

4 words: complete and total ripoff extra VRAM, at least at this point, provides little or no performance advantage. Save yourself some money and buy two GeForce 6800 Ultras in an SLI configuration - it WILL outperform the new 512MB card by far, and cost a couple hundred bucks less. Or...

All of these cases should work fine for you. A little on the cheap side, so I'd be concerned about durability. My experience with the cheaper cases on NewEgg is that they do a good job with them and they are nice cases, but FedEx manages to damage the cheaper-quality materials quite often in...

I wholeheartedly agree with everything this great man has said. Go AMD64, you'll get much better performance for the same money (or the same performance for much less money, depending on how you look at it). But as far as those components go, they look fine, they should work beautifully...

That is an excellent power supply. By all means get that. Another one to consider (I can't help but support my diehard Antecs, lol) would be the Antec NeoPower 480. My personal favorite, it earned the "Kick @$$ Product" award this year. Check it out here. I have one, and trust me, it's...

1) No, they don't. What you will notice with ALL of the AMDs (not exactly sure about Intels) is that anything with "Retail" after the name is slightly more expensive than "OEM" after the name... however the Retail ones, unlike the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer, if you care to know) come...

Hey, can someone either post links or direct pics of the new Longhorn Build in 3D UI mode (or of ANY Longhorn Build in 3D UI mode, for that matter). I've looked all over and I can only find screenshots of the 2D UI. Microsoft censorship, perhaps? <sigh> oh well, such is life. At least life...
