Of course you can have all the most compatible stuff in your system for the best chance possible. But my problem was not one of compatibility! I have pixelation on the first one and BFG told me it was most likely bad memory on the card. They RMA'd it. The second one worked great for a month...
It's working for me so thats all I care about:)
And BFG did not do that for me! They gave me a prepaid UPS shipping label the 2nd one but that is it. If they would have given me a totally different card as they did you I would have given it another shot. But with 2 bad 5900nu's already I was...
From what I see modern day video cards are extremely fickel about what is in your system. Where one 9800 may work in mine great it doesn't boot at all in yours. Where a 5900 blazes in yours it is crap in mine! It does not take a technical genius to see this just by reading these forums.
This is...
Hasn't reported any problems to me. It was a sealed RMA'd one. I just didn't trust it because my 2nd one worked great for a month before it crapped out while the first one was bad off the bat. Whether it is something in my system the card does not like, or the card itself I just did not want to...
Kind of like AMD in the past with me I guess. I was always an Intel guy, but whenever AMD would be the hot thing out there I would give them a shot. I used to build PCs for people as a side job when I was a paramedic, usually friends, and friends and relatives of friends. Nothing serious. I...
Sold my 2nd RMA BFG FX 5900 on Ebay and got a Radeon 9800 Pro. Everything has ran like a dream since I popped it in, not a single problem. This after having problems with two 5900's. One claimed it was the fault of my "PoS" ECS motherboard and not the cards I got, as well as my non-antec/enermax...
Rollo was the one who recommended it, he appears to think he is the know all be all of this board so thought I would entertain his recommendation. I would rather dish out a few more dollars for a modern board. Thanks.

There is the review at the time I read. Now while you may accuse me of having an older motherboard, put to rest that I bought the cheapest/crappiest thing I could find. The P4PE that you recommended was put up against this board in the review, so...
Well I doubt you are truly sorry because not only does it seem to come easily for you to be that, but it seems to come natural for you as well. I agree with the CompUSA purchase after seeing so many other PSU threads come up. Bad buy. I never said I was a PC upgrade God, my point was I always...
"ASUS 845PE Chipset Motherboard for Intel Socket 478 CPU, Model "P4PE-X" -RETAIL"
Was recommended as a cheap but very stable board for P4. The first thing I noticed was the 4x agp whch concerned me, which is why I asked.
Yea, that will solve all my problems, lol. I am trying to get it to work, not destroy it! I ordered a 9800 pro anyway. When I look at user reviews for the 5900's they are 50% complaints, when I look at the 9800 Pro's the majority are happy. That made up my mind right there. If the 9800 Pro works...
