    Successor to Zone Alarm IS?

    Hello yall! Ive been using Zone Alarm Internet Security for the longest time but lately since WinVista it seems their products will turn my high-end PC to a crawl with it constantly blocking my network connections and slow boot times. My subscription is up and really done with them so trying...

    The good NF 780i mobo?

    Suppose I can get another EVGA, built a few using it but had some DOA issues with them. 3.5ghz seems to be the avg cap for this chipset but I'll be happy to get 3ghz since it will still blow away my opteron 170 at 3.3ghz BIG time. Try running 2 9800gx2 on my Opteron 170 is bottlenecking me, or...

    Any problems with DFI motherboards?

    The LP NF4 series was the thing in its day and could not get me to buy thing else. Still have 2 rigs with Opteron chips at 3.3Ghz using DFI mobos. Sine then, they have reduced their flare and being very slow in getting back into the hard core overclocker market with the quad cores. I got...

    The good NF 780i mobo?

    Its for a Intell q6600 chip with ddr2 1066 RAM and 2 9800gx2. Played with the EVGA 780i mobo and ASUS board is too expensive. Have those 2 really been it or are there other Mobos with NF780i? Looking for quality and can scream at overclocking.

    Is this 3dmark06 looking good?

    Figured much my cpu is holding it back, futuremark is putting a heavy emphasis on cpus now these days to make people to burn more $$$ than just GPUs to get those scores. Just wanted comparison to other DC CPUs. Getting the Q6600 soon but not yet. Running COD4 on maxed out everything and it...

    Will AM2 = cheaper S939?

    A switch in platform does not dictate price, demand does. When a new platform is released, the predecessors will be at reduced production and then discontinued. This also means it will cost more per hit to produced since the volume pricing will be gone. Reduced supply will cause increase in...

    Rig wont post with 9800 but will with ti4600?

    send that silly video card back! The problem is not with the mobo or the card in isolation but working together. They arent compatbale for some reason..I had a similar problem. You proved the card works fine in another box. Your mobo works fine with another card beside that one. I concur...

    Good call Bungsta! Can't believe I forgot about that one. When I upgraded to socket 939 and A64 3200+ I got a 480W Thermaltake and ran into the same problem; wouldn't boot. Started ok with a middle of the road 350W whateveritwas PSU but was nervous about the power rating. Went and got a 450W...

    Rig wont post with 9800 but will with ti4600?

    The mobo bois should be sufficient but it could have a bad copy so I will update it from 1.50 to the 1.70 version. I'll also manually scale it down to 4x but Ill have to lock it first with the ti4600 installed (Thanks ASRock!). Wat Bois rev was your bros mobo using when these issues cropped up?
