Recommend a mobo w/ dual onboard video

I don't know exactly what your requirements are. Dual monitor capability, also outputs for DVI+HDMI+VGA are all available on AMD's recent release boards involving the 700-series southbridges. Namely the SB700 or most recently the SB750. The latest boards (SB750) are better performance and...

transitioning from ASROCK Dual Sata 2 + Opteron 148

btw - the new ACC -adv clox calib - only applies to Phenom cpu's and esp. 'black edition' unlocked versions. Choice of ram is cpu dependent - most people are using ddr2 800; - ddr2 1066 ram requires a Phenom. Phenom is AM2+ (ddr2-1066 or 800) The Athlon 64x2 cpu's are AM2 (ddr2-800). The...

transitioning from ASROCK Dual Sata 2 + Opteron 148

I am in a very similar position. Been catching up for a few months now. And the new 790GX boards seem to cover all the options and offer superior power handling . An athlon 64 x2 5000 BlackEdition (unlocked for oclox) s/b adequate for now esp. w a HD-4850. Yes xp means no dx10 - but I...

Strange Motherboard question

3 pin? 2 pin? u can use a 2 pin on a 3 pin connex if you what pin does what. I used to cheat and use old psu fans this way. Mobo manual should show the electrics for pins on mobo. One pin is a sender/ for the bios reporting. One is ground. One is +12 or +5V. Various connectors can be...

transitioning from ASROCK Dual Sata 2 + Opteron 148

There's a new batch of AMD motherboards now being released by most major mobo manufacturers. These boards feature a 790GX northbridge and an SB750 southbridge. They are socket AM2+ and will support all recent cpu's such as any Athlon 64x2 dual cores, or any Phenom x4 quad cores. They support...

Reconsidering Phenom?

I really have to disagree with too many of you. Unbelievable!!!! THIS THREAD clearly, if you read the OP, is NOT ABOUT INTEL AT ALL. This is about Phenom: = "I would like to see some performance numbers posted but no one has so far." = "Phenom now that multiple hardware sites have...

Reconsidering Phenom?

Perhaps you could try err..after "reading" my post for the first time. Also who is the "you" that YOU are talking about? What YOU say certainly doesn't describe ME - and has naught to do with my post. I doubt that makes sense to YOU. YOU, I see as a typical flamer - I could be wrong...

Reconsidering Phenom?

I was well on my way to designing a 4850e + AMD 780G system. But now I am seriously looking at Phenom and SB750. The upcoming benchmarks will be of great interest to me. Also, Asus has apparently addressed the "3 amigos" "pop goes the mosfet" issues presented here on AT; by offering some...

Reconsidering Phenom?

How do you spell HIJACK? I swear people are hired by ntel to scatter bs logic like this all over discussions about AMD products. I think there are a very few posts in this thread that address the topic offered. It seems even the mod has been seduced to 'off topic'. My position is unique...

AT / Gary Preview: 9850BE and new AOD

I find it very exciting that AMD, in midstream, (!) is almost redesigning the function of Phenom, with the new bios, new oclock utility, and this new "low-level" ACC. Since the early days of my study of pc's, I always wanted to know what makes these things work. Today I can say I am...

re HK+MG Thank you for response to my little quandary. I do recall reading up on that tek; unfortunately, I did not finish my reading at the time, wrote it off as "later" - and here we are. @ Idontcare - an excellent, and efficaceous, description mid-thread. Thank you and pardon the...

@Ocguy31 (yawn) The only attack is yours. Shortass has succinctly offered you clarification you requested - he has not mentioned 'victim mentality', 'paranoia', 'self-defeating adolescent chest beating', 'other related ego-based delusions' (or limitations related thereto), inferiority...

Well, perhaps I am wrong; but having read the thread, I daresay you apparently are. And clock for clock doesn't really cut it anymore - it's an interesting comparison; but merely indicates something more distinguishes cpu's. For example, if core 4 is clocked higher than core 2 deliberately -...
