    I love scientists, and engineers, and everything in between.

    Wow...someone that actually sees the glass as half-full rather than half-empty. Generally all you ever hear is people complaining how stupid this game is, or how buggy that software is, or how sorry this operating system is. It all is better than playing Space Invaders on an 8086 processor in...

    best motherboard monitor program?

    Have you checked the temp with another program? Just wondering if it is the mobo, instead of MBM, as it generally displays the temps that the mobo tells it to. I say generally, as some say it shows different info, but mine always shows the same info as the BIOS, as far as I can tell, anyway.

    What Socket A Mobo to get ? ABit NF7-S , NF7-S2, NF7-S2G, AN7 or EpoX EP-8RDA3+ ??

    Yeah, I should have recommended it....but....if you ask there, you will definitely get mostly recommendations for the NF7-S Ver2. :)

    What Socket A Mobo to get ? ABit NF7-S , NF7-S2, NF7-S2G, AN7 or EpoX EP-8RDA3+ ??

    To be honest with you, it is hard to decipher the differences. The only real differences I can see by comparing them on the Abit site is that the NF7-S Ver2 has Soundstorm dolby 5.1 AND 6 channel AC'97 Codec, and hardware CPU heat monitoring instead of software heat monitoring...as opposed...

    I love my NF7-S...but since it is going to be an interim board, the NF7-S2 probably would be just fine, for 20 bucks less. Though still not advertised for some reason, the NF7-S ver2 has nForce2 Ultra 400 chipset. I think they have all of the bugs worked out of the AN7, but no real benefits...

    best motherboard monitor program?

    AbitEQ works fine, but not really convienent. I use Motherboard Monitor (MBM), it will display whatever you want full time in the tray. I display cpu load/cpu temp/case temp. Its always there in your face, and works great. Doubleclick on the tray display, and the dashboard comes up, click on...

    Complete newb, wondering on processor...

    Didn't know about the incompability with the Zalman...I nearly bought one, glad I didn't now. For whatever reason, its not advertised, but the NF7-S does have the nForce2 ultra 400. The Ver2 has been around long enough that its pretty unlikely you'd get a Ver1, which doesn't.

    The newest Olympic event

    I think gaming would be more interesting than say, "the single-handed men's dinghy" ;) Golf and rugby have been recommended by the IOC for the 2008 Olympics in Bejing. I'm anxious to see if Tiger tries out. Skydiving once again was turned down.

    Is you your wife/gf/sig other this cool??

    Hell, brother...I live in Mississippi! Oh, its been a long road with my wife, but now she belongs to probably 20 email groups, does some graphics, can upload photos from the digital camera and edit them, etc. She gets pissed but won't give up...that's just one of the things I love about her...

    Is you your wife/gf/sig other this cool??

    Haha...nah, I'm pretty sure that you are born with it...though it may be latent for many years...so don't give up hope! :D I was a redneck in an earlier life...well, semi redneck, anyway.

    Sir, I truly respect you.

    Building a paint booth?

    Which is what he was wanting in the first place...would also keep out significant amounts of dust. (but by no means all dust) He HAS to do it outside...at least that was what he said. I didn't say it was a great idea, but is better than doing it outside in the open.

    Is you your wife/gf/sig other this cool??

    I really didn't intend to turn it into a thread about boobs...I was making a point that I love my wife for what she is, not wish she was something she wasn't. Sorry I said it...didn't mean to offend. Guess I could also add that we have been married for over 13 great years...well the years...

    Is you your wife/gf/sig other this cool??

    Hell, my loving wife didn't complain a bit when I spent nearly 1500 bucks for parts for my latest build. A couple of weeks later she comes home with BFV...without my ever mentioning I wanted it. But it's pretty wierd...we usually know what each other is thinking...i.e., stop at the store...
