So I am working with an Abit AN8 32X motherboard and an Opteron 165. My memory can run 400MHZ at CAS2 and 1T timings. I have been reading overclocking dicussions and guides pertaining to this board and a lot of time they talk about memory bus dividers but I'm not sure what they are referring...

So I'm about to build some new systems in the next week or so, with a 939 motherboard what is the better processor, opteron or Athlon? My price point is about 200 for the CPU, considering overclocking, L2 cache, etc.. what gives more bang for the buck? I'm currently looking at the 4400+ at...

I have this Sapphire pure crossfire motherboard specs here and I was thinking of putting a single Nvidia board in it (7600GT or so) since it performs better and is cheaper than an equivalent ATI card. Anybody ever try using an Nvidia video card in a crossfire board, and if so any problems...

Hey Guys, So i got some opterons for free and I was thinking about upgrading my box to a 939 chipset, are the opterons better performers for desktop systems or would i be better off building a box with Athlon 64s? Like along the lines of video cards where there are GPUs that are good for CAD...

Hello, I just bought an Nforce motherboard that has support for SLI for a new system i am building. I figured with support for dual cores and SLI, this would be agreat way to ensure future upgradability.. my concern is that the current video card i just bought might not support SLI...

Hello, So I bought one of the BFG 6800 OCs when they first came out (300+bucks) and really liked it's stability and preformance, so much so, when i saw a deal for the same card for 200 dollars I jumped at it since I was building a new box for my kids.... Unfortunately out of the box I had...

Hey there, just got a BFG Geforce 6800 OC (non ultra or GT version), this is my second one for a new computer i built for the kiddies... the problem i'm having is that when playing warcraft3 some of the textures flicker in and out, seems to be randomly, like with static 2d images (bottom and top...

so it looks like the only current difference is 256k of L2 cache, sempron has 256k and XP has 512k. Can anyone help me with links that show benchmarks of the performance diff between the 2? I am building a new system for a buddy (on a budget) and want to get a nforce2 solution but I am...

Ok so I see the specs for the 6600, 128 MB ram 128 bit memory bus, 8 pixel pipelines, So what is the point of SLI ing to of these together? why not just buy a 6800 for basically the same price or cheaper? So basically (given raw specs, 2 6600GTs in SLI mode = 1 6800GT What's the...
