    any idea when NF3-250 mobos will ACTUALLY be for sale?

    He works at a store, so that doesn't surprise me. I really don't give a shit either way, because if I do have a problem, he's going to take care of the RMA for me. I make it a priority for myself to whenever possible be serviced as a dealer or enterprise user, and not an end-user.

    any idea when NF3-250 mobos will ACTUALLY be for sale?

    The tech that works at the store I buy some of my stuff from says that almost all mobos within a certain class are the same. He recommends MSI mobos simply because their RMA service is good. Also, the K8T Neo FSR looks to be a mobo with all the features I need. The $100 price ain't too bad...

    any idea when NF3-250 mobos will ACTUALLY be for sale?

    well come to think of it, I really don't do much gaming, and even then an A64 2800+ is a great processor. The gains obtained from OCing an A64 right now are just not really worth it for me, as I doubt i'll notice the difference.

    any idea when NF3-250 mobos will ACTUALLY be for sale?

    so i guess ill just go k8t800 for now... i dont want to overclock a lot maybe a little at best how well do u think the newcastles (socket754) will OC? im getting a A64 2800+, and im upgrading to a newcastle in a year or so when theyre cheaper maybe longer

    any idea when NF3-250 mobos will ACTUALLY be for sale?

    ive seen a lot of ricing in the computer world-- cold cathode lights, custom made cases with racing stripes, liquid nitrogen cooling systems, but this just takes the cake...

    Difference between uping FSB and multiplier

    the FSB is a bus PCI is a bus the PCI bus is connected to the FSB not the individual slots

    North bridge cooler for Abit NF-S V2

    just throw a passive heatsink on there if I end up getting the NF7-S, chances are I will end up getting rid of the fan myself and replacing it with a passive cooler-- active NB coolers are such a waste...

    Which nf2 mobo for my amd xp?

    All nf2-400 boards are pretty much the same if you're not a very discerning user if you are, make sure you know the features you want and dont need, as that might be the selecting factor for a board for you some interesting stuff: DFI NFII boards are known to achieve higher FSB...

    2600+ Mobile Experience....

    why is that? is it too big or is it because of the lack of mounting holes (only nf7-s v2 mobos have mounting holes)

    Is the 32 bit Athlon line totally dead?

    correct. if anything XPs and XP-Ms especially are a great value to the overclocker market. Overclocked, an XP-M 2400+, which costs $75, can perform faster than an Athlon 64 3000+, which costs $211, and slightly slower than the A64 3200+, which costs $285.

    Zalman 7000A/Al-Cu

    The AlCu cools almost as well, and is only 2/3 as heavy as the Cu. 6 bucks isnt a lot of cash-- go buy yourself a tube of AS5...

    n3w3gg on crack?

    I would never buy a refurbed mobo. Mobos and HDDs have the highest death rates of any other PC part, and I have no problem dishing out 20 bucks extra on a brand new part that I know I can RMA if it dies. The only parts I'd get refurbed is stuff that doesn't really break, like cases, or speakers...

    9600 aiw pro or xt?

    If anything, I like the XT because it comes with the Remote Wonder 2, which is nicer. Otherwise, it's all the same I guess. If I was building an HTPC, I'd just get like a 9000, unless I was doing gaming on it.
