Nforce2 vs 875p?

Thanks to all of you for replying.. Thanks to DaveSimmons for the name of the article.. Not sure how that one slipped by. :) That is EXACTLY the kind of article I have been looking for. Being a huge gamer, it looks as though the P4 is the way to go for me. Although I would be giving up the DD...

Nforce2 vs 875p?

Has anyone ever done a mobo comparison, both features as well as speed(with comparable CPUs), comparing the Nforce2 chipset(AMD) and the 875p chipset(Intel)?? I am interested in a new system and like both of these chipsets. The NForce2 has the Soundstorm 5.1 encoding(thx to Dug in the SPDIF...

SPDIF Confusion/Question

Thanks alot.. Will the Nforce2 do EVERYTHING(movies, games and EAX) in 5.1? Basically, will it make everything I select turn into a 5.1 stream from my Nforce2 board, to my receiver? Maybe not EAX, right?

SPDIF Confusion/Question

Thanks for the response joeld. I appreciate it. I am considering anything that is faster than my current setup. I have no loyalty to Intel or AMD, but I have read that the current P4's are very OC-able. So, NForce2 if I decide to go with AMD... Anything similar for the Intel platform?

SPDIF Confusion/Question

This SPDIF stuff that are now coming on the newer mobos(I will be getting the IC7 Max3 if it ever shows up in stores)... Is this the same as the Optical cable that you use when dealing with your home theatre setup? I mastered that just fine... Home Theatre sounds great. Now I wanna do the same...

Logitech MX Duo

Logitech MX Duo Now this looks like a nice setup. I have the MX 700 mouse and it is the BEST mouse, corded or not, on the market IMO. Has anyone tried this particular bundle? Does the keyboard work well from a distance, etc? Thanks. Rat.

Vantec Nexus NXP-201

The Vantec does not do this.. Only the Sunbeam. They are always blue if you have them running at full power(12 volts). Once you turn the knob lower, it changes to red when it hit 7 volts and/or lower.

Vantec Nexus NXP-201

OK.. I have my Sunbeam Rheobus VERSION 2. Make sure you get version 2... I guess version 1 sucks. :) It is perfect! Exactly what I THOUGHT I was buying with that nexus POS. No buzzing at low voltage. It even changes color from blue to red when you turn the knob to lower than 7 volts. I HIGHLY...

My compusa sucks then. It doesnt have anything like that. I thought they would be the same... guess not. The one by me has far to much MAC crap. :)

3Pin Fan cable extender

Anyone know where I can find a 3Pin Fan cable extender... cable? I see them at newegg.com, they look like THIS. Newegg wants 7.00 for them, which I think is crazy, although I cannot seem find them anywhere else. HELP! Thanks. Rat.
