Looks like I'm in the P4 race again. I'm sure the nForce 2 boards are nice, but they're so f'in picky with RAM, I've not gotten one to work...and have tried several different brands to boot. Returned the nF2 and got the MSI 856P Neo. Cheap and basic, but should be much less of a headache with the RAM....just need to sell some crap lying around and get a P4 to go with it.
Plus the P4's tend to overclock nice with out getting hot enough to cook a 3 inch steak! (p4 2.4 any 400,533,800 - are all intels sweet chips)
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, steak! DOH!

Got myself a Logitech MX 900. Nice and it's really a Bluetooth mouse as apposed to the Microsoft attempt at it.
An LG DVD-ROM/CD Writer combo drive
Persuaded all my family to get me various parts for a Shuttle (nForce based) HTPC for Christmas.
I'm now working on turning it into a fully-fledged TV/DVD player/recorder with the ability to show DVB (digital TV) broadcasts - at this rate, I should be able to replace 3 boxes under the TV (VCR, DVD-player & digibox) with this one machine.
I may looking at getting another video card though, I'm not overly impressed with the onboard TV-out signal - diagonal lines and "crackles" all across the picture - any suggestions anyone?

I readt that Radeons and Maxtrox cards have the best TV out. If you have a HDTV or a TV that can take component video in, get yourself a Radeon which supports the conponent video dongle for the best TV out.

Quote:Well, I bit the bullet... & got a new videocard! ATI 9800XT...
You won't regret it. I picked up the 9700 back when it first came out in 2002. First ATI card I actually bought since the Rage days....I'd seen WAY too much trouble with ATI throughout the years at work and on friends machines to even bother. Even the Radeon's before the 9700 were kinda quirky. After the 9700 I haven't bought an Nvidia card personally...only in situations such as old computers with no AGP where I would get the PCI Nvidia because the performance beat the Radeon's would I buy an Nvidia part.
Been looking at the 9800XT but the performance isn't that drastic over the 9700 (at least that's what I've been telling myself since I'm a performance wh---- )

guess i dont have to worry about namiung a kid after you now :0
i am glad u got it!
as for performace
the 9800 is about %10 more then the 9700
the XT is about %10 more then the 9800 - this is why they called it the Xt and not a new line of cards. - and supposedly the r420 will be %50 faster - due to PCI express - but not likely.
but still from a ti4600 to a XT is a NICE jump - i went from a ti4600 to a 9700PRO and that was impressive to me!
as for problems - ATI has had problems - they are MUCH better now with the catalyst suit of drivers - 3.9's has some issues and so did 3.8 but 3.7 were rock stable!
So alex - when u going to start to overclock and mod that card! - have you considered a volt mod or too once the card starts to show it's age?

So $445 USD is just a bit expensive? Hmm, my system somehow cost a lot when it said and done. This secondary system of mine seems to have cost me at least $600 USD. No matter how hard I try it never come out cheaper than that.
