    Mobo swap and Harddrives, need advice

    I'm not quite sure where to begin, but I will start by describing what I currently have. I have an old mobo p5w dh deluxe, and two drives: one 320gb 5400rpm 16mb cache (in dual boot XP/Vista) and a 500gb 7200rpm 32mb cache. What I would like to do is get an updated mobo (780i ultra ftw)...

    EN8800GT (1gb) vs. EVGA 8800GTS (92) (512mb)

    Hey folks... I just can't seem to find anything comparing these two cards and I am lost -- or separate reviews but with two very different systems. I see a higher memory but the GTS has the higher clock speed. I need some help! The two cards are...

    e6600 with fatal1ty FP-IN9 overclock suggestions?

    I'm no pro, or even knowledeable by any means... but I was playing around with this stuff today trying to reach 400 /w 9x multi. With an E6600 you shouldn't have any problems reaching 3.2 or even 3.3. To get up to the 340+ fsb x9 range, you will have to up your vcore to at least 1.45 to get it...

    OC'ing E6600 with P5W DH, low performance...

    Hello folks, I am out for some advice I suppose. From the guides and other posts I think my system is under performing on the overclocking front since I can't seem to reach 3.4ghz. I have an E6600 in a P5W DH Deluxe Mobo. OCZ 2x1gig pc2-8000 platinums. I have gone through the guides...

    Hey folks, thanks for all your suggestions! I settled on a x1900xtx because i found a great deal... i'm paying $470 CDN ($415 US) for a brand new, sealed built by ati, x1900xtx... couldnt resist!

    And yes, you are right perhaps.... 50$ isnt that much of a savings if i can find a 550 pricetag on a 1900XTX, continuing to search on Redflag, nothing yet hehe.

    Ah sorry, yes I missed that X. Well, they have a limited warranty from the retailers normally, but manufacturers generally still have the 1 year warranty included. It's based on the time of purchase from the retailer.

    Oh dear... 550? What an unforunate price! Yeah, I can pick up the 1900XT for 550 from my local computer shop at retail. I've been looking around at some places for ATI OEM's and found a couple X1900XT's in the range of 420-440 CDN, 350-390 US. I'm a little confused by some of them though since...

    Good sirs, I need some assistance... I've been lurking the boards looking for advice to choose between some cards. From what I've seen... the 1800xt's beat 7900's (for what I want). So that's taken care off... generally the 1800xt's are a better choice than the 1900 GT. But i'm wary because of...
