venice 3200 or 3000....

As a 3200+ Venice owner, I'd recommend the 3000+ if you plan on overclocking. I was convinced that the 10x multiplier would be *so* handy when overclocking but in reality, it is pretty useless because my DFI Ultra-D has no problem delivering 340 FSB and my 3200+ tops out around 2.6-2.75GHz...

Quick and dirty A64 clocking guide **UPDATE** X2 OC information!

Just used this guide and have my 3200+ Venice Priming at 260x10. So far so good. I was able to boot at 275x10 with 1.55V but it would fail Prime immediately. 260 seems about where Prime stops failing so far. I'll check it when I get home. Haven't tested my memory yet but I'm impressed...

PC-60 Plus vs. PC-7B Plus

I just got a PC60B Plus from Newegg and so far I'm happy with it. I may have spent a little bit more for it but I had a good experience with the removable mobo tray. Just make sure you figure out which screws go with the spacers. Took me like 3 tries to find the right ones. I was a little...

Cable Box HDTV, Dell 2405FPW and Inputs

A lack of respect for other people's time? He might be asking a newb question but he's not wasting anyone's time unless you bother to reply. If it's such a waste of your time, don't reply. And if you are going to reply, why be condescending about it? Why answer his question while making him...

2005FPW - Keep or Trade?

You are right, pixels are everything. But the point he's making is that watching widescreen content, i.e. DVDs or HDTV, on a widescreen display is better than on a 4:3 display which has to shrink the image to fit it on its screen. You end up with black bars on the top and bottom, therefore...

2005FPW - Keep or Trade?

Alright! You guys convinced me. I'm keeping this beauty. But I do have my eye on the 2405FPW or maybe another 2005FPW, but that can wait until next summer (or at least Christmas!).
