    Memtest fails with multiple memory modules in at one time

    Thanks for the input. I bumped the voltage up another +0.1, but I'm still getting errors when both modules are in. With one module in at a time, there are no errors.

    Memtest fails with multiple memory modules in at one time

    Hey thanks for the quick reply. I guess I should have mentioned that I added +0.1v to the voltage for the ram when I first built the computer (the motherboard is at 1.8v by default and the ram is supposed to run at 1.9v). Am I OK to add an additional +0.1v or will that screw something up...

    When is the conroe going to be stock?

    Keep in mind that just because they have them in stock, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are going to ship them. Their website even says, "Please remember that ETA's are not guaranteed shipping dates and are subject to change by the manufacturer. The fastest way to obtain this item is to...

    965 or 975 for Core Duo 2?

    It seems really silly to me that the motherboard manufacturers wouldn't think of that problem. Isn't there a way that they can add the necessary driver support for their non-native IDE connections to the BIOS? With the ASUS board that you are talking about there is a native IDE connection, so...

    ATI or Nvidia for custom resolutions?

    I was looking at getting either a x850XT PE or 7600GT video card. I have my computer hooked up to a TV that I use as a monitor. In order to get the picture to properly fill the screen with 1:1 pixel mapping, I had to set up a custom resolution in powerstrip (following instructions from the AVS...

    X850XT or 7600GT?

    Sorry to hijack the thread, but I don't think that my question warrants its own thread, because this one is already here. :) I was looking at getting either the 7600GT or the X850XT PE. Would you still recommend the 7600GT over the premium edition X850XT? Does anyone know what the...

    SLI power supply required with only 1 video card?

    Thanks for the input guys. Honestly, I will probably never run 2 cards. I just want to keep the option open in case I would like to add one in the future.

    SLI power supply required with only 1 video card?

    I am building a new system and I'm probably going to get a SLI board. I just have a couple of questions before I buy a power supply. I'm only planning on using one video card initially, but I might upgrade to two of them in the future. I've been looking at this power supply. It's not...
