I just want to mention that I bought my i7 920 from microcenter a little less than a month ago and it was a C0 stepping. Unfortunately, I didn't know the distinction back then and I was disappointed when I found out but I think the reason for the huge discount could be they are trying to sell...
Yes it is Service pack 2, I'll try the nLite thing.
Edit: Used nLite and integrated SP3 into the installation and burned it, but I'm skeptical about this. I'm about to try to install with it, I'll see how it goes.
Edit2: I tried using the integrated XP, but it actually failed during the...
Hi,
I just built a new computer with the following specs:
Thermaltake Tsunami Black Aluminum ATX Mid tower case
Asus P6t LGA 1366 Intel X58 Motherboard
Western Digital WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s
CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V
OCZ Platinum 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3...
Yeah...having a lot of problems lol.
I was installing XP home, and it was a legit CD with a legit product key. During installation, it asked me for device drivers from Windows XP Service pack 2.
I don't understand why it would ask that or what I'm supposed to do to fix that. I pressed cancel...
Yeah, I did burn the DVD from another hard drive, but I remember reading somewhere that one or the other should be installed first, and I don't remember which. XP is useful, but it doesn't take advantage of the 6 GB triple channel memory I have so I want to dual boot it with 7. While I was...
****, Newegg delivered in under two days. I got all the parts except for the computer case already. Just gotta go up to microcenter tomorrow and get the processor and perhaps mobo tomorrow. So I need some final advice:
Asus P6t motherboard on microcenter is only $230. Is that the same as this...
Well I ordered the following parts on newegg:
OCZ Platinum 6 GB Ram
Corsair 650 W Power supply
EVGA GTX 260 core 216
WD 640 GB 7200 RPM 32 mb cache
And lastly, I wanted to go with a case that was a little flashier but I kinda messed up. I was ordering late at night around 12 so I was drowsy...
Thanks for the quick response baron5, looks good and I just have a couple questions.
The hard drive is perfect, and I got a DVD drive not long ago so I'm not going to buy one.
Is there any difference between gold and platinum ram besides the color? Gold Platinum you chose
And out of...
Hey
My budget is around 800 ~ 1050 dollars
I'm pretty sure I want to go with an i7 than I can get for $230 at microcenter, and maybe a $200 GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard.
Are those the best options for the budget described above?
For a graphics card, I'm...
