Recommended Motherboard Brands For Amd

I can second most of the recommendations above, but if you're looking for something cheap, you might also want to consider Asrock (especially the K7S8X, which is fairly basic in features, but also cheap and stable). One brand you should *not* consider is ECS / PC Chips. I've had nothing but...

NForce Ultra 400GB Available now :)

I've never used one of their boards myself, but in general people seem to have fairly mixed opinions about them. IIRC they were one of the companies that had problems with bad capacitors a few years ago, but these days I think they only use (high-quality) japanese caps. You might find this...

Recommend a good m/b that supports Athlon 64 ?

1. Plenty of shops have it in stock here in Denmark, so I assume it's still in production. 2. Here's a review of the combo board. I'm still inclined to think of it as a gimmick, though.

Recommend a good m/b that supports Athlon 64 ?

The K8S8X is an excellent board (and cheap too), but it's based on a chipset from SiS, not the Nvidia Nforce the original poster was looking for. Perhaps ASUS' K8N-E Deluxe could be an option - it's based on the nForce 3 chipset and most people seem to like it. Might be a bit expensive...

most stable s754 mobo?

Take a look at the Asrock K8S8X. I've been using it for several months now, and it has been pretty much troublefree thus far. It only has room for two memory modules and one of the power connectors is in a slightly awkward position, but given its modest price I can live with that. I've also...

Free PC Games

Anacondas - Free 3D adventure game from Sony Pictures. Not too good, though the water reflections look pretty nice.

Arctic Cooling

The '220 FSB 1.600 vcore' line shows the results when they overclocked the testsystem. As for the german review, here's a machine-translated version. I use the Zalman 7000 myself and can certainly recommend it, as it doesn't make too much noise and also delivers good cooling performance. Make...

Arctic Cooling

I haven't seen any reviews in english, but here's a couple in german and danish respectively: Tweakpc.de Tweak.dk In short, the installation procedure is slightly awkward and it's cooling performance falls somewhat short of the best heatsinks on the market (it seems to be pretty quiet...

Any one use Arctic Cooling Copper Silent and SilenX fans?

I've used the Copper Silent 2 for a couple of systems, and I've never had any problems with it. I got temperatures of around 48C under load when I used it on an Athlon XP 3000+. It's fairly easy to install too. It's not entirely noisefree, but a lot better than most other cheap cpu coolers imo...
