New build - specs

Sure seems like it's going to end up that way. Her old comp is gone for good, don't know the reason why it's crapped out, but probably not worth paying to fix it. Although she has stuff on her harddrive she'd like to keep. I figure she's better off taking the HD out making it an external and...

Can anyone figure out what chipset is used with this?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16815126003 Can't seem to find it in the specs...unless I'm blind? Just need a decent firewire add-on card, this seems a bit more than most of the others running between $12-20. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Add on firewire card

Interesting, but I was told to get firewire to transfer video onto my desktop from my video camera and that may help some of the problems I'm having. In my case, not everything from the dv-tape is being captured onto my computer. I told them I was doing it via USB and they said, do it via...

Add on firewire card

Is there a particular chipset that is good for add-on firewire cards? Also, my 2nd question. My case has a firewire port on top but since my motherboard doesn't have a place for it, is there a firewire card that'll give me 2 extra ports, plus have the pins for my already existing firewire...

Case help

I've read through some threads here and like some of the suggestions for cases, in particular Silverstone TJ-09 case. But I can't exactly spend a whole lot on a case, or want to. I don't want to spend more than $150-$175 max. Here's a store I plan to buy from locally...

Question about RAM

I talked to a Corsair rep today and they told me if I was going to buy a PC6400 800 series RAM, that it wasn't just a plug'n'play type RAM. That I would have to enter the BIOS and enter numbers into it for the RAM. Is this true for most RAM, especially non-value type RAM? This build is not...

Bamacre, what does HSF mean? Just to make sure the mobo chipset ( Intel or nvidia) won't matter in regards to the video card chipset correct?
