Soooo try what Ku-Sama said and flash the bios. Although that should be checked and double checked to see if it works. Don't see why it shouldn't, with those two cards.

AM2 has better CPUs in lower value, but their higher end doesn't go as far. Core 2 Duo, you start really getting in the good when are e6600, which has a 4 mb cache. The ones below have 2. Whats your budget, and what will it be used for?

Heh, I was about to say to wait for DX10 until I saw the post date. :rolleyes:

Yeah, why stop at 64 mb? If you aren't on a budget, get a better card. Although if you have PCI, they will all be cheap and crappy.

You really don't need anything better then the XTX yet, although i would wait until november/december when DX10 cards come out.

What does it smell like?

Eh, close enough for me. But now that I see it, 11 friggin inches!? Thats gigantic, then add on the water cooling...

Hellz yea! DX10 is here, finally. I'ma wait till after christmas tho.

Quad core will be commercially available around Q3 07. I'd wait a few months before deciding anything. Or get a lower end core 2 duo and a quad core later. I think all mobos that work with conroe will work with quad later on.

That could be right too. We (supposedly) have pics of a G80 card. So I dunno. Then again, my birthday is in Q2 so ya never know. :P

^^Thanks. I doubt on high, but since Halo 2 will come out when vista does, which is when DX10 comes out, you should be fine. Get a 7600 GT now then a DX10 card. Best path IMHO.

Yeah, DX10 will probably come out with Vista, late Q1 or Q2 2007. Edit: I would get a 7600 GT as a placeholder, then get a DX10 card later on.

They'll be expensive because they will have been recently released, compared to the latest DX9 cards having been released a few months ago. It depends on which model you go for.

Well DX10 is recommended (not necessary. Theres a variant of DX9 that will also work with vista) for vista. You will also need DX10 for newer games. Any bugs in DX10 could probably just be fixed thru software updates. DX10 will be the nVidia 8 series and R-something for ATI (don't follow...

Got it fixed. The fan is a expansion slot fan, like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835129025 So yes, it needs to be there. I mainly got it for my GPU, which constantly overheat(ed). One more question though (if you want to move this mods, go ahead) The...

So today I was unfortunatly forced to remove my sound card to make room for an expansion slot fan (temps were way too high) and now I can't get my audio to work. In the Sound thing in the control panel, the option to choose a playback device is greyed out. Anyone know how to get my onboard...

Why should technology wait for you...? Theres new stuff out. Thats whats being made for.

AMD released a watercooled X1900 XTX didn't they? It costed a bit extra tho.

Looks legit-ish. But this is a pretty big step considering ATI is usually the group with the huge cooling needs.

Yeesh...I'm hoping thats the high end model, and that the middle end doesn't need that. If they all need water cooling, they'd better come with the resovoir and everything.
