Need Guidance Please...

Hey MSI faithful. 
I am getting ready to perform a major upgrade.  I am currently using a five year old KT4VL.  Based on the fact that this board has lasted me for five years and is still going strong, MSI has won me over and I will be sticking with them on my upgrade. 
Now here's my dilemma, I can't decide between these two boards:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130119
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130123
I know this is the AMD/ATI chipset forum, so the answers may be a little biased, but I didn't know which forum to post this question in.  Is one of these boards superior to the other?  I like the 690 chipset but don't necessarily need the onboard video.  In terms of pure performace, which of these two chipsets will give the best bang for the buck or is there any discernible difference? 
Here's what I am planning on upgrading to:
XP SP2 Home Edition
AMD 5200+ Windsor Core 65w (or Brisbane 5000 Black Box Edition)  Any thoughts on this choice too?
Motherboard either mentioned above
HD WD 250GB SATA 3.0
Lite One DVD SATA
A-Data 2GB DDR 800 (2X1gb sticks)
Video Card (probably ATI 1600pro or Nvidia 8500) Don't need a smoking card b/c I am not a hardcore gamer
Your thoughts or opinions and please forgive me for posting this question in the ATI forum.  Thanks in advance.
Derek

First of all don't get a Black Edition 5000+ which is only meant for oc. You won't have much fun with either of this boards and oc. Even the unlocked multi won't get you far. Better get a faster stock cpu instead. You'll nearly get a 6000+ for the price of 5000+ BE. If you want to spend less take the 5200+ (get an EE version).
For the board I'd take the K9A Neo2 Digital. Today I build a rig with it for my brother-in-law. Nice board with good onboard vga (Radeon X1250). If you don't wanna play you'll need no additional vga. It comes with really great onboard solutions. HDMI, DVI, Firewire, 7.1 Sound, Gigabit Lan and nice PWM fan control. Also offers basic oc abilities. Great board for that price level.
The PSU you want to get is not that good. For the price of the Thermaltake better get a good single rail psu like Corsair VX450 or VX550 or Tagan TG400-U33 or Enermax EG-465AX-VE.

    So i have used below query, i got all my requirement done except Alert_id, could you please help me how to generate this alert id.
    Query
    Select a.trans_id Start_trans_id,b.trans_id End_trans_id,a.currency,a.orientation_buysell,a.counterparty 
    from temp1 a
                     inner join
           temp1 b
                     on a.counterparty = b.counterparty
    where a.orientation_buysell = 'B'
    and      b.orientation_buysell='S'
    order by a.trans_id,b.trans_id;
    Actually these all data i need to pick from a table (here temp1), make its data as per my requirement(o/p) and also need to add a new column 'Alert_id' that should be populated as i have shown in o/p & Finally insert into a particular ALERT Table.
    I am not getting this Alert id concept in my query, how to make this one generic.
    Any help, would be really appreciable. Thanks

    Hi,
    So,
    all the rows with the lowest value of trans_id need alert_id=1,
    all the rows with the 2nd lowest value of trans_id need alert_id=2,
    all the rows with the 3rd lowest value of trans_id need alert_id=3,
    all the rows with the Nth lowest value of trans_id need alert_id=N.
    That sounds like a job for the analytic DENSE_RANK function:
    Select
           DENSE_RANK () OVER (ORDER BY  a.trans_id)  AS alert_id,    -- ***** NEW *****
           a.trans_id Start_trans_id,b.trans_id End_trans_id,a.currency,a.orientation_buysell,a.counterparty
    from temp1 a
                     inner join
           temp1 b
                     on a.counterparty = b.counterparty
    where a.orientation_buysell = 'B'
    and      b.orientation_buysell='S'
    order by a.trans_id,b.trans_id;
    I added 1 line of code near the beginning; otherwise, this is exactly what you posted.

  • Tons of emails, Need to Archive or something: need guidance please

    Hi,
    I run a small business where I have to keep on file every email my client base sends me.  I currently have emails that go back to 2004!  We're talking thousands and thousands of emails.  So needless to say it's getting a bit 'puffy' and I didn't know if I had any options of archiving the majority of the emails while still having easy access to retrieving individual emails if needed.  Currently the emails for each client are in their own folder within Mail for organization purposes and that would be necessary with any archiving options considered.
    Ideally I would like something like this:  Archive all but 2013 thus just having 2013 in 'Mail' on my main system.  Then having all the others on a separate drive or on a 'cloud' like set up where I can retrieve them without any hassles of uncompressing or the like.  I have my own domain and the emails go through that otherwise I would probably use Apples Cloud system and keep them there...unless I can do that somehow.  The way I understand Apples Cloud is that you have to use their email address.  
    I appreciate anyone's insight to this because it's a bit out of my realm.
    Thank you in advance!

    Take a look at Mail Steward (I assume that you use Apple Mail), there is a trial version)

    Don't post the same question multiple times. It's rude, as it leads to people wasting their time duplicating each others' answers.

    Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
    iWork > Pages
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    comme il y a un dossier
    iWork > Numbers
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
    puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
    puis lancez la recherche.
    Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
    Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
    Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
    Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.

    Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s (as it is already full of music from old windows laptop) but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!

    Before you sync your iPhone make sure that all the music that was synced to your phonereviously has been copied to your iTunes on the new MacBook Pro. Then when you connect your phone you will be able to either sync all music or select only those playlists that you want on the phone.

    i dont know how i got my photos to my ipod touch from my pc and now i wanna delete them but couldn't. so need help. please let me know.

    To turn off auto sync - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices - check the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPod, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Click OK and then quit iTunes.
    Connect your iDevice to your PC.
    Launch iTunes,
    Click on the device name on the left side of the iTunes Window.
    Click on the Photos Tab in the iTunes window on the right.
    Untick all of the photos or albums that you want to remove.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you untick or uncheck the Sync Photos heading and then click Apply it will remove all of the photos from the device when it syncs. In this screenshot - I have only certain albums and events selected to sync.
