well, i have a friend, who tends to when he mods, get some shaky hands.. so i think this IS noticable... and sorry for hijacking cracker... but i think this works to help you also...

cold storm:
no problem, all this info is really helping me on my decision. when it comes time to order that parts, if i got the money for i would like to go with the biostar board and the HD 3K Card. I really love the specs on that board. One thing is that is AM2+, Two DD2 1066 and Three PCI-E 2.0 If i don't go with this. Then i might just go with the orignal specs from the begining. And just still upgrade my video card.

I'll make my decision when the biostar comes to egg. If it's not to much more then the gigabyte, i'll get it. I actually believe it might be cheaper. Biostars newest models are selling for only $85. So yeah I believe it won't be to much. But if I get the Biostar, it will be awhile before i get the HD 3K. I can't fork out $200 right now on a card. But i'll let ya'll know

THANKS

hey i'm just glad that both Chilly and I's chat worked in your favor... and its a lot of money to look at, but you get at lease 3 years with that videocard... or what i think is good enough because you may get another one for crossfire...
the biostar looks really impressive. i would tell you to get my blood iron but its only intel :banghead:

...
it all looks good and keep us posted! love to see happy foke!

I have two 5000+ Blackies and all you do is go direct to the multiplier and set it at 16, that will give you 3.2 and no need to raise the VCore, very reasonable Temps (I use a Scythe Ninja on both)

I hear good things about Biostar every forum I go.

CrackerJack · Jan 31, 2008

what do ya'll think about this board.

Here's something else to look into if you have the extra $20:

CrackerJack · Jan 31, 2008

yeah that board looks nice to me!!! i seen it's overclockable. that's what i want!!! and the price won't kill me. i'm trying to stay less than $100

thanks

JrRacinFan · Jan 31, 2008

You are very welcome.

Cold Storm · Jan 31, 2008

+1 on the board, it looks pretty nice for him.

Pandaz3 · Jan 31, 2008

I am not badmouthing the ECS, but I think the Biostar is a better board.

CrackerJack · Feb 2, 2008

i need a favor from somebody. will some upload there results for Performance Test (passmark) i look for someone that has:

Amd Athlon X2 5000+ BE
2Gb DDR2 1066 (800 will also good)
And atleast 1 SATA Drive (3Gb)

I'm wanting to compare what i got now. And what I'm want to get.

thanks

Pandaz3 · Feb 2, 2008

I have my board in for RMA and will have to do that when it comes back, sorry I can't help you now.

ChillyMyst · Feb 2, 2008

problem with ecs is ALWASE the overclocking support, its rare they put out a true overclockers board, and when they do it seems more by accedent then by design

the biostar is by far the better choice

CrackerJack · Feb 7, 2008

i found this board
http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en-us/t-series/content.php?S_ID=310

the biostar website says it can run ddr2 1066 and newegg only say ddr2 800. i would rather run 1066.

JrRacinFan · Feb 7, 2008

I wouldn't always trust what NewEgg says. They have been known to be wrong from time to time.

sapphire HD2600 512mb for $119 I hope this is a good price for you.
Sapphire Hd2900 512mb for $159 There is for cheaper but its open box, so I don't know how you feel about that...
If you need to go cheaper let me know, I believe I can find for cheaper, just have to do more digging..

do a 2900GT its really cheap and better than a X1950
best card for $130

CrackerJack · Feb 7, 2008

ddr2 800 or ddr 1066

i'm going use a amd athlon 64 x2 5000+ BE

i can get the 2x2Gb 800 for like $90 or get 2x1GB 1066 for $90. if the 1066 will overclock, then i would like to get it.

cdawall · Feb 7, 2008

go for more the 2x2gb will give you better overall performance than the faster 2x1gb

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231122

thats the better of the 2x2gb sets

CrackerJack · Feb 7, 2008

i like the video card you show me!!! AWESOME!!! I wish i could find MB that's got 2xPCI-E. And overclockable!!!

i like this board
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128075

i don't know if it's overclockable yet! but i'll have to see what the wife says!!!! LOL

JrRacinFan · Feb 7, 2008

Want some good memory? These are known to be mad overclockers!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211066

EDIT: ^^Close to 85% of the motherboards on NewEgg are "overclock friendly".

But yet again, that kit cdawall linked is very nice and little on the inexpensive side.

Cold Storm · Feb 7, 2008

CrackerJack · Feb 7, 2008

Jrracinfan
Thanks I Seen The A-data Early This Mourning. I Din't Know If It Was Any Count!!

JrRacinFan · Feb 7, 2008

Yeah, it's a really nice board. Here's a little something for you to look at for not much more:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130136

A little more futureproofed, supports quad crossfire if you ever decide to go that route.

CrackerJack · Feb 7, 2008
