*** Official Giga-byte SINXP1394/8SQ800 Thread ***

I got my 8SQ800 from Google gear. I ordered it on thursday and they said it shipped on friday for monday (tomorow) delivery. Hopefully this is true as I did get some conflicting emails from them on availability. I'll let you know if it shows. Also, I purchased some memory sticks from Ecost a...

nForce 2 / SIS-655

Thanks Marlin, I was trying to decide between the MSI 655 Max-LS and the Giga 8SQ800. Both are about the same price and use the 655 NB. I went with the Giga. I can't remember where but I heard the Realtek wasn't as good, but I think you're probably right and they are equivalent. I can always...

Ordered my SINXP1394 Ultra 2 today.......

I'm in the same boat. I just ordered the 8SQ800 and I am looking for some memory. I was going to go all out and get the platinum Corsair Twinx (2x256, $180 for ddr400, or $158 for 333) but it seems like people are having trouble with the timings. I like the idea of the matched set though...

655 Max LS or 8SQ800

Thanks, I'd be interested to see how yours goes. Which one did you get though? There seem to be two (as with the Giga boards 8SQ800 and the 8SQ800 ultra). There is the MSI 655 Max-FISR and the 655 Max-LS which seem to paralell the Giga boards in that the LS is a stripped down FISR without the...

Is the 655 Max LS the MSI equivalent of the 8SQ800? Is the only difference between the Max-LS and the Max-FISR the lack of SATA, Gigabit LAN, and firewire? Both are about the same price, which would you recommend? Thanks much.
