+2 I would be all over it :D

I'm no guru but... I believe component has two different ways of transmitting the image - YUV and CYMK color - make sure that the setting your projector prefers is the same on your DVD player / cable box. If you need the image to set it up, use a temporary composite or S-video cable to...

Does the Voom reciever have a serial port?

anybody else see the sexy notebook from ASUS's presentation at the AMD Technology tour -- Athlon 64 / ATI 9700 combo + thin and light

Good call Matt... a revision has been made in Scottys Long Term Strategic Upgrade Iniative

I haven't experimented much with OC'ing; my former palomino ran too hot even with an SLK; Forgive my noobishness, but is this the pinmod I want? Will this allow me to use the higher multi's in the BIOS, or do I need to hardwire them with further pinmod's?

I don't mind ecost, in fact I love thier prices... though I've never tried to return anything. I have bought some big ticket items too - an XGA projector (compaq refurb) and a Kenwood receiever (refurb) - both worked perfected and were beatiful - note: not great for smaller stuff because of a...

I run into this -- apparently the signal for the multiplier setting is limited in values, so it has to share some (anything above 12.5x). My proc defaults automatically to the lower value, 5x and so on. :(

Well now I'm stuck in the other direction. Falls, how did you get past the 12.5x multiplier ceiling - mine defaults to the lower multiplier if its shared (Asus A7N8X-E). The proc's got plenty of headroom left, but I'm memory limited (PC2700) fastest I can get it is 175/350 (about 2.2 gHz). I...

I'm running into the same ceiling of the 12.5 multiplier (A7N8X-E) --- the BIOS lists higher multipliers but apparently it shares them such as "5x/13x" and the mobile XP 2400 I just bought defaults to the lower multiplier. Is the "unlock -multi via BIOS up to 12,5x" what I want, or does that...

Just got my 35W Mobile XP 2400+... Check out what It defaulted too

HOT!!! Free DVD rewind sounds - Check it!

newegg has the 74GB version for $188...

The difference between the onkyo 500 and 600 series recievers is that the 600 has 6 discrete amplifiers; many audio enthusiasts believe that this makes all the difference. I personally went throught the reciever hunt a couple of months ago. I settled for the Kenwood VR-7070 - refurbished...

its bunk. It sounds like the ivory tower doesn't understand technology and the marketplace... its issued some proclamation in ignorance in order to appeal to the most unlikely of contigiences.

You will probably only notice significant improvements in performance in processor intensive applications, such as games. Windows applications and boot times are highly dependant on hard drive performance. Now about your oc'ing... Try increasing your voltage slightly and see what happens. But...

Now that I've graduated and have my evenings free again, I'm thinking of getting some kind of cable service. I have a projector that decodes HDTV signals and I'm keen on getting some kind of HD setup. I eventually plan of building a HTPC with PVR functionality but I've yet to find the right HD...

im waiting for the HDTV Wonder... $100 and would go well with your 9800. Extremetech is supposed to have a write-up on it tomorow.

I have an early palomino 1800+ and it tends to run very hot. I have an thermalright SLK-800 with an 80mm vantec stealth on it and it tends to idle around 45-50. If you spent the money on a watercooling rig, why not just get a closed resivoir and save yourself from the noise of that 60mm speeze?

hmmm... would be great for docking friends PC's to my compaq projector... interested, need to see pics :)

thats awesome. What kind of fan are you using on that SLK?

We might not need PCI express for graphics yet, but I regular PCI is kind of maxed out in certain aplications. Nvidia can't build a card around its soundstorm dolby encoder because of bandwidth limitations - it has to be built around a hypertransport southbridge. Alienware's dual-vid card system...

Cool! I didn't know that. Do all nf2 boards with mcp-t have latent soundstorm encoders? How do you tell?

Are you sure this has soundstorm? It isn't listed as having it on Nvidia's website http://www.nvidia.com/object/motherboards.html Still one heck of a compact board w/ integrated everything. Would be great for that coolermaster desktop case. If you don't need uATX, wait for an Asus A7N8X...

dernit, I had a chance tonight to ask an Asus rep when or if we could expect some future soundstorm. I totally blanked it - to dazzled by the A64 notebook with the mobile 9700... Sexy!

I went. Wasn't bad. It was ofcourse geared towards VARs and system builders. I am only an enthusiast and at most, an employment candidate. Interesting future perspectives though, especially when questioned about socket confusion. Nice T-Shirt!

Anybody catch the article in the wall street journal? It states that it is indeed AMD distributing the kits. Intel stays in character: "But Intel isn't inclined to say much, let alone laugh. "We enjoy publicity stunts as much as the next person," says Chuck Mulloy, a company spokesman. "But...

hot damn! why can't Cooler Master make a full size ATX version? uATX doesn't always lend itself to HTPC's

I recently upgraded from an old Gigabyte AMD 760 platform to an ASUS A7N8X-E w/ Soundstorm in anticipation of kicking it down to an HTPC. Its awesome, ditching my audigy was no problem after hearing the DD encoding through my theater. I was sursprised that thier aren't more SFF with NF2/SS...

a standalone card would be sweet - though I'm not sure nVidia or mobo companies would want to cannibalize a "value driver" on thier premium boards. Soundstorm boards command a higher price that a standalone PCI-e card would void. Do you think that they will wait for the replacement of the...

I've seen nothing but cryptic promises from ATI. Anybody know when, or how much? Is there an HDTV capture card on the market now?

I bought a refurbed compaq mp1200 at ecost.com for around $750 http://www.projectorcentral.com/projector_spec.cfm?part_id=1790 It is native XGA and has 2000 hour lamp life. Technically, not as bright (1000 Lumens, 400:1) as some others, but awesome image quality, and great for gaming (no LCD...

Sunnyvale here. HQ woohoo!

Yeah, I was waiting for an A64 soundstorm board too. I wanted to build an HTPC with hardware dolby encoding (and the "cool and quiet" business) but from the looks of it, I will probably kick down my A7N8X-E.
