I actually just redid my SLI-DR rig and a pair of 8800GTX. One of my 1GB RAM sticks died so I went on Ebay and found some XMS Pro 400MHz real cheap and grabbed those since I always wanted them back in the day.
The crap thing is, it has my x2 3800+ in it instead of my FX-60 but that's somewhere else and I don't feel like hanging out with somebody for 4 hours just to grab it lol.


Good to here your little one is recovering!
Thank you. He's been 100% since they let us leave and Tuesday marks the final day of his recovery. It's been rough, and her and I are still trying to shake off the image of waking up with him being covered in blood and blood clots.


For some peeps, 19 yrs is a life time. I don't know what "gen" that makes one from 2006. (not that I care or if it matters)
Kids born around there are the last half of Gen Z. Guys like me who were teenagers through that period, the best gaming/hardware time ever, are the older millennials. Most of us consider the early 2000s to be peak technology and gaming. I mean, DFI in the consumer space existed.

This is still the same one I owned from back then, and I managed to get me an NF2 KT333 Lanparty board too (one of the green slot ones) but it cost a pretty penny.

I also have a S939 A8N32-SLI Deluxe which is actually more stable and easier to use than the DFI, way less finicky. Still prefer the DFI.

Is that a 7950GT?

omg I loved the green DFIs too! Might hunt some down on Ebay lol

I have a S775 P5N-E SLI that was beast at OCing and I still have it! I had sold off its two 8800GTs though :cry:

And I had to dig through 2007 invoices and found out it's a Sapphire X1950PRO with the Zalman cooler!
 
I think the only thing I still have from back in the day is the 3200+ s939 CPU from my first build... somewhere.

I wouldn't go down that rabbit hole unless you want to pay a ridiculous price for one of those boards.
NF3 and NF2 boards rarely hit Ebay, and when mine did it was 300. I immediately grabbed it and a bunch of others had it in their cart according to Ebay.
I'm seeing more NF4 boards hit occasionally, and I almost always see the less wanted 790fx stuff. There's currently an SLI-DR Expert with FX-60 for 1500 lol.
