Quad core or dual core

No, no mainboard yet (Socket 939 board failed recently - Even though MB failed, X2 AMD 4800+CPU survived.) I decided to upgrade mainboard/CPU/memory because I have not touched my system for a long time and prices are very good - also wanted to be able to switch over to Windows Vista...

Quad core or dual core

Right now at Newegg they are selling the 9600 Phenom Quad Core at the same price as the Athon X2 6400+ CPU, $119. Which one do you suggest? I do moderate gaming, a lof of internet use, listening to music and watching movies. thanks!

ASUS 939 Mainboard

Hi, my Gigabyte socket 939 manboard just failed, after 2.5 years of fairly good use. I am considering buying a ASUS A8N-LA (for $60.) to replace it. Anyone out there have this ASUS MB or know anything about it?

Gigabyte Mainboard w/no gameport.

Hi, I have a Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939 mainboard that just failed and I am looking to replace it with the same. I found out, though, that the K8NSC has no game port. Is that something that I can change later (without changing the entire motherboard) - or am I stuck? I do some gaming, not...

Corsair VX 550 Power supply

Are we talking about those slot fans that you put in a PCI slot? What I can do is give you the dimensions: The case is 17" high, 8 " wide and 16" long. It has 4 - 5 1/4 drive bays and the top 2 are occupied. I was studing it from the outside and the 2 availabe bays look spacious. It is...

Corsair VX 550 Power supply

Thanks for the replying. So is there a particular brand/model of exhaust fan you would suggest? Sometimes I can be sensitive to sounds. Corsair includes twist ties! That is funny about how you said how to shove excess cabling into that space below the optical drives. I was pondering that...

Corsair VX 550 Power supply

Hi, I bought a Corsair VX 550 watt power supply and am concerned that too many wires will restrict important air flow. I have a mid-tower case (for the life of me I cannot remember the brand) and I heard quite a few buyers of the 550 saying the extra cables make it a very tight fit in their...

From Nvidia to ATI

Thanks again Quick! Yeah, I was aware of the 3850, however, I don't know what happened. The purchase of the 1950 has been completed so there is no point in sending it back. There is a 15% re-stock fee. The only concern I have now is that I am changing from a Nvidia based system to ATI. I know...

Thanks again - yeah, I do not know what model number the ANTEC is. It took me a while to zero in on the Corsair 550. I got it for just over $60 at Buy.com. thanks, John
