How exactly do you install once you've formatted your hard drive (sorry i dont have a manual). My brother and i have just built a PC and he wants to install XP but we have always just installed it over Windows 98. Can someone give me a quick step by step or link to some good instructions...

That should be alright although you'd get more out of the 9800 if you had a faster CPU, 2.0 GHz and above preferably. Also make sure you have an adequate power supply, 300w being the bare minimum.

I read it, good post.

That's fast. Where do you live? I'm in Boston and it usually takes about 5 days with FEDEX saver shipping from Newegg.

Anyone that's even half as excited as me about playing HL2 with settings maxed out when it's released will know that that's not an option.

Damnit i wish i had both boards to do comparison benchmarks.

Link?

Yeah, i just edited my post replying to that. BTW why dont you like Asus? Bad experience?

You're right Spitwad. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.:cheers: I definitely want the dual channel support for the RAM. MacGraham, i think it is an nforce2 chipset. Refer to the link i gave in my first post.

That's the rumor anyhow.

I'd try OC'ing the CPU instead. It's re-goddamn-diculous to OC a 9800 Pro right now.

This is a really good PSU... http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=1&submit=Go&description=FSP400%2D60PFN

I have one more question about the A7N8X Deluxe vs the cheaper x-series version. How much difference would there be in performance results between the two boards in 3dmark tests and games like UT2003? Other specs i'll have: AthlonXP 3000+ 400FSB 1 gig pc3200 DDR RAM @ 400MHz ATI 9800 Pro

Well yeah Steven Q Urkle, i assumed all the A7N8X boards had 8X AGP. Isnt that what the 8X in A7N8X stands for? And Sgt.Igneri, when you say the NF7-S is more stable, how do you mean? Do you consider the Asus boards unstable? I've had three different Asus boards including a A7N266-C nforce...

So no info about the Pro/8X? And yeah, i was thinking maybe the Deluxe had better onboard audio, that's not an issue for me i have a decent sound card already. And about the NF7-S, i like Asus a lot but i'll look into it...thanks for the suggestion. If anyone else has any more info that may...

I am going to purchase one of these nforce2 boards but i have a question i want to be sure of first. I can get the Asus A7N8X Deluxe for about $120, but there's this other A7N8X-X series board for $84. My question is what's the difference(s)? One thing i noticed was in the links below that...

Woo Hoo :cheers:

Makes you wonder what his voice would actually sound like.

Gunman Chronicles uses the HL engine.

Well atleast they ARE going to announce when it goes gold.:cheers:
