I decided I am going to send back the BIOSTAR TA690G AM2 AM2 AMD 690G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard for the MSI K9AG Neo2-Digital AM2 AMD 690G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard.

Interview with PC Power & Cooling Founder "That sounds reasonable. This is also for example how the single 12V rail got into place. Why exactly is one 12V rail better than separate rails, and why is this not a safety issue for the user? DD: One 12V rail is better because all of the power supply's capacity is available to the system. With a multi-rail 12V design, as much as 30% of the PSU's capacity can be trapped on under-utilized rails. For example, if one 12V rail rated at 18A is for the CPU, and the CPU only draws 8A, the remaining 10A cannot be utilized by other components in the system. That's true. I had an AnandTech reader writing me about a problem wi…

Optimus Maximus: at long last, we bring one home to test "It's the damndest thing: years after seeing the renders we're actually finally writing this post on our very own Optimus Maximus. We've had ours for a few weeks for testing, but we weren't able to do a whole lot with it until we got some later firmware updates. Here's the preliminary report: The OLED displays look really good, and are bright and colorful, just like we'd hoped."

After reading a lot of the threads from OPs and "expert" repliers I've come to realize these people should be buying Dells. I know a few of the members here OC, so just wanted your see your process. 1. Set a budget to work with, then read reviews/forums to see what would fit in that budget 2.

So, I've been running on some of PurSuiT's old gear for quite some time now (so-so 939 mobo with an Athalon X2 4400+, 2GB DDR400, 7950GT video), and I figured it's about time I upgrade. Now, I'm trying to keep the price around 500, since I really don't have much to spend. Here's what I've got for my new setup... Motherboard - ASUS M2R32-MVP CPU - Athalon 64 X2 4600+ Cooler - ZEROtherm BTF90 RAM - 4GB WINTEC AMPX (DDR2 800 Video - Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR3 Definitely not top-of-the-line gear, but it's better than what I've got right now, and it's got plenty of room for upgrades in the future...
