Hi, I am looking for a barebones small form factor AMD64. Anyone have any recommendations or ones I should steer clear off? Currently using a shuttle SB51g and would like to stick with SFF (can't handle tower cases and the noise anymore). Thanks.

Anyone have any thoughts on the board above? I'd rather have stability than speed - any others that are similarly priced? Getho

I'm looking at MSI nforce3 250 or via socket 754 boards. Am I right in thinking that if I want 400 MHZ Ram I can only use 2 dimm sockets - or can I have 3 dimms each with 512 mb? Getho

Just wondering the performance gain to see if its worth upgrading my memory?

Hi, I'm in the UK and am looking to upgrade my PC. But I've lost the link which allowed comparison of the UK prices of various components on the numerous websites available on the net. Could anybody tell me the link if you know it. Thanks.

okay, yes, "bug-free", for computer equipment, does not exist... but still.. are there any 939 processors out there that have known problems, and if so, which and what problem?

I am intel celeron 333mhz user.., I recently decided to buy a new computer. The system is most propably going to be used to run a linux version and do some serious programming. May be a little bit of games, movies.. and multimedia can also be thoght of in the Things-to-do list. I was thinking...

Everyone knows that Longhorn is more than a year off, maybe 2. But WinXP 64 Extended edition is supposed to be released this year. However, the Longhorn Beta of Longhorn, build 4074 has WPA (Windows Product Activation), but neither XP 64 or XP 64 2003 Server for the AMD has WPA. Further more,...

http://www.mozillaquest.com/Linux04/Asus_Sucks_Story-01.html I'm a big fan of ASUS and was not aware of this. Whatever.

The reason why I am asking this is because I didn't want to spend the premium for the FX-53 and settled on the Athlon 3200 for my brand new box. Can anyone send me a URL for a comparison ? TIA. Steve

When the fan on my A64 3000+ goes over 5000 RPM, it starts to make a strange scratching/scraping sound. Has anybody else experienced this? Should I be concerned? Thanks for your help, A --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi, I woul like to know how is the best video card with 128mb ram to use with an AMD 64 3000+ K8T Neo for use on linux Mdk 86_64 and winxp 64 tkz in advance. best regards, Marcio

Hi folks, I was wondering if there are any AMD64-based boards in the market by the usual suspects (AMI, Phoenix, or other) that come with default or other-wise EFI support. (EFI is an initiative by Intel-Microsoft primarily and others to do away with the standard PC-AT style BIOS firmware, for...

Hello all. I am about to assemble an ASUS K8N-E Deluxe and will have a single 250GB SATA HDD. There are both nVidia chipset and Silicon Image 3114 choices on this motherboard. I would like to hear opinions on which will be the best/most stable choice to which to connect my HDD. I will, of...

Just heard of this version. Anyone got a link to it? Thanks. Hank Kimbell, "Did you come to see me, or did I come to see you?"

You are correct...you will use the BASE driver vs. the RAID. The drivers are on the installation CD (unless Gigabyte has changed the way they do things), and you will have to extract them to a floppy. Don't install the ATA drive until you get the SATA up and running and the OS installed,...

Considering this as an alternative to the MSI K8N Neo Platinum I was going for. Don't need the Gigabit Lan, Raid, or 7.1 sound of the MSI. Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance -- Derek

Anyone have any experience with the Abit KV8 Pro coupled with A64 3000? No overclocking just good stability. I read there were some problems with 10x multiplier booting as 9x (Andtech) I know there may be other chipsets that are better, but in Korea A64 boards are in short supply. My choices are...

Hi All! This is my first foray into PCs, having been a Mac user for a long time but tired of paying big prices for hardware :-) Anyway, on the *advice* of others I purchased a AMD64 2800+ CPU matched with a Gigabyte GA-K8VT800 motherboard. For two days the machine ran sweet, then suddenly...
