Hmmm...you must work for them or something to be that defensive...just read that first post on the resellerratings site and you'll know what I am talking about...trust me, about 8 months ago, I gave them three tries and they delivered three strikes...
Not hot -- don't buy from them -- they suck big time -- always say they have stuff in stock when they really don't. Sometimes it is worth paying more for other places that actually get you your gear when you order it...
Talk about the wierdest find of the day -- a lively religious descussion in the anandtech hot deals forum -- I'm really just scratching my head trying to figure out how this is a hot deal...
And by the way, as a student of religions, I would definitly say that some of you don't know what on...
I figured it out yesterday -- there was an IRQ conflict between my wireless card (forgot to put that in specs above!!!) and other devices on my system. Once I took that out, it ran fine. I have searched all over on this and found that people are having problems when anything (modem, audigy...
Yeah, I ran memtest86 with two passes -- no errors.
I gotta say that if it is the board, Asus hasn't treated me too well. I've used them lately and been screwed on the last two before this one (an A7N8X and an A8N-SLI). I might never go with them again if the board is the problem...
Well the fan is going at 9000RPM, so I don't think that is it...also, the temp doesn't go above 40-41C, which doesn't seem to be in overheating range...I might have to check the PSU -- is the only way to tell to switch it with another PSU and see if that is causing the problem?
I did try it with cool and quiet off and nothing happened....strangely enough though, my fan seems to run at about 3200RPM no matter what I do -- maybe I'm just missing the increase when it goes on a load...
I'm not near it right now (like 100 miles away), but I did run Throttlewatch...
Critical Specs:
AMD 3500+ (Clawhammer)
Asus A8N-E w/BIOS 1005
ATI X800XL
Corsair Value Select 1GB
2x Seagate 160GB in Raid 0
Thermaltake TR2 430W
XP Pro w/service pack 1
Problem:
The system stutters for like 1/2 second at random intervals. This happens in video, music, or games...
All I can say about Connect 3D is that you get what you pay for. I have had some bad experiences with their cards in the past. On the flipside, I haven't had any problems with built by ATI cards or Sapphire (strangely enough)...
LOL!!! Sorry buddy, but I follow prices pretty well and I know that is a total lie. The cheapest Newegg has ever had them is $173-$25 rebate=$148. That's a fact....
