Ordered this from a friend in Japan a week ago, it arrived today. I am excited.
For pics go here, I won't bother with my crappy camera
Here's some info that I got from looking at it:
VIA Envy24 HT chip
Wolfson DACs
Nichicon capacitors
Total was $192 CDN after shipping and duty...
So I put together a graphics design system today
I noticed the price of the Quadro FX 1400 in it was reasonably priced at $500cdn
So I installed HL2
And it sure looks nice (better colour than my 6800GT, by far - shadows and details are far more rich)
Silky smooth at 1280x1024...
Bought these two for the car after returning VM/400. Having trouble with getting the clock above 800MHz. It keeps defaulting back to x6 regardless of what I set the multiplier to; fsb can be pumped no prob. this sucks. bios revision 1012, going to try uber 1013 tomorrow after i borrow a floppy...
This store I work at got an FX-55 in two days ago and we have been ogling it since.
It is for sale. We have *one*. There have been about a dozen orders for it but all have cancelled or switched to 3500+ because of the long wait.
First come first serve....
no I don't get any extra money...

The Zalman 7000 series won't work on this mobo so that's out (Zalman's site says the 7000 would work on this mobo if I don't use the dual power thingy. If that part is a totally unnecessary piece of crap, then I just won't use it, and I'll get a 7000.) don't even think of suggesting the 7700...
I got sick of burning more CDs every time I wanted new music in my car so I decided to put a computer in my car. It's a 1983 Mustang LX hatchback, and I'm doing nothing to the body (except for window tint) so I don't think that anybody will be stealing it anytime soon.
First step was the...
So this guy's sister is a producer, and he gets the name BFG on a morning TV show. And he wins, even though there's no logo, no URL, and it was a five second bit.
I submitted an entry that I worked pretty hard on, and I won't gripe about my losing too much, because there's nothing I can do...
I'd just like to let everyone know that I'm going to win that contest. I promise to post pics of the card as soon as I get it, and some pics of my winning entry if you like. I'm going to enjoy 512mb of DDR3 and pixel shader 3. Don't wish me luck, I don't need it.
So I get this huge server case that used to hold a 486 SX from the school... and, of course, begin thinking about mods.
To Do:
1. Drill many fan holes (120mm) - I'm thinking one rear, one front, two side, one top
2. Cut out backplate, get junk ATX case and cut out its backplate, insert...
I'm having some problems with the built-in S-Video output on my GF4 MX440. It's NTSC output on an NTSC TV (1st generation Panasonic Tau). I'm getting nothing but a crappy-quality black and white picture with tons of scanlines. I know the video card works, because I've have primo output on a much...
I want to buy this card around next month, but I don't want to add another fan to my case.
Will these two go together?
I'm sure the answer is as simple as a link to a compatibility list, but I can't find it on Zalman's site. If it's not in any lists, has anyone tried this?
My old Athlon T-bird 1GHz @ 1150!
All I did was take a screen, crop it in photoshop, and save it
After that I started Solitare, waited a few minutes for it to start, and rebooted. After setting it back to default it ran fine
That's my story
Now, for 1200...
Ok, here goes.
I'm looking for the fastest ram out there. I care not for LL and my wallet knows no bounds! I simply want the best ram that will reach the highest clocks, period.
Fire away.
Bonus points if I can get it in Canada, but that doesn't matter either.
(edit) reviews mean...
I've decided my next computer will be water-cooled.
I asked my electronics teacher about it, for some background knowledge. He tried it 2-3 years ago but fried several CPUs due to condensation.
He mentioned that there would have to be sufficient airflow through the case to keep any cold...
Which one of these should I pick for a new system?
Asus P4P800 Deluxe
Abit IS7-G
MSI Neo2-FIS2R
Or, pick another one
Things I like in a mobo:
CSA G-Lan
Prescott support
3 ATA channels (6 drives) or more
No northbridge fan
Lots of room around the zif for a Zalman CNPS7000-Cu...
I'm going to be slapping together a computer for myself late Feb or early March, once the nifty-ass prescott becomes widely available! My question is about budgeting for the chip. The computer i want to wrap around this most glorious of processors will be as follows:
(all prices in canadian...
