http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-253-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=946 This is what I'm running, but as has already been said you won't get SLI on anything other than an nVidia chipset. Oh, and told you so! Lol. Sorry...

Ah, but the dual GPU single PCB card IS a new idea, and that's where we need to be going. 10 years ago 'dual core' was two Socket As on one motherboard (I remember my old Supermicro MP 2000+ board!) and the 7950GX2 was in effect that sort of technology - well out of place really. Fair enough...

You choose the software when you buy it. If they included MS Office in Windows Vista there would be a million and one lawsuits about how they're abusing their position in the market - the same reason they can't and will not include a full blown AV solution in their operating system. Why is...

It was a poorly executed good idea - I apologise for my being blunt. I've been up all night the last 3 trying to get a Vista installation that'll run the 170.** drivers without bluescreening on this 8900.

I run an 8800GTX thanks, and again it's very technically able but badly finished. The stock cooler does nothing more than 'suffice', and the drivers are very poor. Similar with the old TNT series back in the day, they were very capable cards finished with bad support. nVidia very much need to...

Meh, it's purely a 'get rid of one of the PCI-E connections' attempt at making Quad-SLI. The board was technically capable - I never said it wasn't - but it was as half-assed as the rest of nVidia's line at the time (and their present line) rather than a full on "Let's make a 2-GPU board" like...

2010 allegedly, and I think this time they're planning on making it on schedule - Vista was so delayed because of XP SP2. It's supposed to be a major release as well, which means change. I'd get comfortable with Vista - as much as XP has it's use it's coming to the end of it's life soon and I...

See that's fine - I've no problem with opinion and if I were to sit at work all day working on SQL issues, NLB issues or even problems with one of the firewalls I'd give money to be sat in front of my XP machine. However when I'm at home I think as operating systems go, Vista is gorgeous and it...

Actually, I'm in favour of the article. What you've done is attempt to 'sum up' the article in a way that suits your own opinion - which is fine - but I hate people that twist things to suit their own arguments. It makes valid points. You DON'T need a million and one browser windows open...

The 7950GX2 is and was a POS and is incomparable to the 3870x2 - look at the boards! The GX2 is two boards stuck together, the 3870x2 is a proper all-on-one card that if you watercooled would go in a single slot. And I'd say the X38 is a bit of an overclocking heroes board too... Single 8800...

P35 is an old chipset - if you go Intel get an X48 if you're going DDR3 or X38 if you want DDR2. I'm running an X38 on mine and it is absolutely brilliant - however no SLI support. Running a single 8800GTX at the moment and getting 14500 3DMarks so happy with that.

Remove the 4 heatsinks and replace the heat material at a minimum, but I'd go either with a set of waterblocks or uprated air blocks depending on your rig. It really is a major weakness on the nForce chipsets, I've shaved 20 degrees off my old boards temps.

As above, if the PSU goes bang it'll take anything on the end of it's wires.

No, I meant as in cooling the motherboard. The standard cooling isn't adequate for stock clocks on my quad, let alone when it clocks.

Anyone else seeing bits of COD4 in that lot?! Lol.

Make sure you've got adequate cooling...

Don't like nForce chipsets at the moment but if you're intent on SLI then you'll need one... I'm just going to wait for the GX2.

I've just had my hands burned by eVGA so won't be recommending them any time soon - however I'm replacing my 680i with an ASUS X38-based board. SLi isn't alllll that, while it's good the temps the nForce MCPs get to is rediculous.

Crysis will eat an Ultra for breakfast at 1280x1024 in places.

I've got 4x74Gb Raptors as my OS disk... 600Mb/second FTW!

Will clock your 667 down to 533, but won't do any harm.

Shite on Windows...

Get a dedicated array controller too... Run a few drives in a stripe array or RAID5...

Nehalem is a hell of a change though - it's not just faster/newer/smaller - it's an entirely different architecture moving onto on-die memory controllers (like AMDs) and a 32nm process allowing for up to 8 cores (although to start with only two quads joined).

IE7 here, no issues with it except when I run it in 64-bit mode... No flash!

I'd stick with DDR2 at the moment, but to be fair if you're starting now if at all possible, hang fire til Nehalem...

Meh, I've got the link on my favourites... TBH though after telling me what boards are good at overclocking you'd have thought he'd have managed a HCL...

I've had someone pick up the mouse and put it on the screen after being asked to put the mouse on the start button... Doesn't matter what OS it is if the user is stupid the user is stupid! This all happened going from Windows 3.11 to Windows 95, and Windows 98/2000 to XP... You of all people...
