    i have an older set of g.skill in my current computer, and they work just fine. but i wonder if this set: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231065 DDR2 800 (PC2 6400), 4-4-4-12 timings, F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ would be better for serious overclocking with a c2d...

    Where are the 8800 reviews?

    You should pick up a nice widescreen LCD, lots of good deals out there right now. The display subforum has a lot of great info... It's just such a shame to have a kickass computer but a POS monitor :(

    operating temp for 3800 x2?

    besides the 70 dollars hsf, i have excellent case ventilation, which is why my temps are so low. the only downside is that my computer is a little on the noisy side, but i've gotten use to it.

    1024MB stick of DDR-RAM seen as 32MB stick in the BIOS/WindowsXP. HELP!

    this motherboard doesn't have onboard video and agp aperature size is set to 128 and also, even with just the 1 gig stick in, it would show it as a 32 mb stick, and thus i would only have 32 megs of memory, and windows xp wouldn't boot :p

    1024MB stick of DDR-RAM seen as 32MB stick in the BIOS/WindowsXP. HELP!

    In the specs for this motherboard, an Iwill KA-266-R (back from like 2001), it says that it supports up to 3gb's of memory, and it has 3 slots for memory on the motherboard. Logic dictates that it should be able to support a 1GB stick of memory....yes? Well anyway, I just purchased a 1gb...

    BFG 6800GT OC - does one of the fans turn off when it isn't needed?

    i called tech support tonight, the guy said that the fans are designed to shut off if they aren't needed, or if they aren't getting enough power i was planning on upgrading my PSU, so i'll do that and see if it helps he also suggested making sure no other devices are running off the molex...

    BFG 6800GT OC - does one of the fans turn off when it isn't needed?

    seeing the responses so far on that the fans should both be spinning, i'll call tech support later today or tomorrow and see what they say i'd rather get an RMA than an aftermarket fan cooler... i just got this card less than 3 weeks ago
