Hey all, I want to get a new nforce4 mobo without spending a lot of money. Can I cut corners by keeping my old pc2700 corsair value ram that I've been using with my nforce2 chipset, or is that out of the question? The identification number for this ram given by corsair is VS512MB333. I have two...

I'm looking to get a new case. I really like the way the Sonata is designed with the 3.5 inch drive bays mounted perpendicular to the motherboard (the back of hd's stick up towards you when you open the case). This makes it so I don't have to worry about my video card or other cards getting in...

That's interesting. I bought the full version of Underground 2 and I was getting bad frame rates (although it loaded ok). I have: Athlon 2800+ Barton (333) Power Color 9800 pro 1 gig (2x512) Corsair value ram Shuttle an35n-ultra (nforce2) 80 gig maxtor ata/133 250 gig maxtor ata/133 I...

I've been looking for a good SFF case that allows me to use any small atx mobo that I choose. I noticed that the new Fragbox 2 which is sold as a whole system by Falcon Northwest has the ability to support any small atx mobo and video card. I was wondering if there was a way to only get the case...

I ordered the 120mm fan from Crazy PC. It looked like a good way to get more airflow in my case overall while cooling my GPU. Thanks for all of your suggestions. If I need further cooling in the future I will look into those other products.

I'd say yes. My friend has a radeon 9800 and plays Desert Combat (BF mod) on high detail at 1024x768 with AA at 4x and AF at 8x and he gets good framerates. He has an Athlon XP 2500+ with 1 gig of DDR333. After seeing the benchmarks for the new generation of cards 60fps at medium detail and no...

I think my 9800pro is overheating. My computer totally locked up the other day and when I felt my video card heatsink it was burning hot. It's a Powercolor with 128megs of ram. Currently I have a midtower with an 80mm intake in the bottom front of the case, an 80mm exhaust on the top rear of the...

Thanks for the advice!

For those of you that have an an35n that has been working reliably, what kind of cooling are you using? Describe the fans, their sizes, and locations. I have been running mine fairly reliably for the past few months. Yesterday I walked in and saw that my computer had locked up. I rebooted it and...

What is the absolutely most reliable motherboard based on the nforce2 chipset that is available? My an35-n has stopped working twice now and it's time to try something different.
