About to buy the neo!

Hi lads,
about to buy MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R,
Is it the best one I can get? I'm upgrading from my old p3 and am buying an athlon64 3000 plus the neo, a radeon 9800pro and tower...
any tips? is it worth getting the MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R now?
Thanks!
Rob

i love my new msi board yes i could have waited , for something better...but there is always something better. i upgraded/from a amd 2100 ati aiw 9000  756 ddr2 rig, which i gave to my brother becuase he was having problems with newer games, and my new msi rig blew the pants off the old setup, especially in games..loadtimes, and everything else. when i load bf1942 i am always the first ione in my usual server, and using tteam speak, everyone always say, man you laoded fast,... :like:my msi k8t neo fisr2...
the k8tneo fisr2 (125$ish)  has more sata , raid, and onboard stuff, then the k8t fisr ,($99) and takes only antholon64 processors, not fx's, or opties.

  • About to Buy The iMac (Stop Me?)

    I am about to buy the iMac, possibly today. I was wondering a couple of things.
    -Should I wait for 10.5 to come pre-installed on them?
    -How are they, work wise, look wise, function wise (for the owners)?

    *Hi CA..., Welcome* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    *Francine Schweider* a |||| bar poster in these forums has what I think is an excellent thought.
    "I plan to buy my next computer before Leopard comes out. Why? Because generally new Mac computers will not run any system older than the one they ship with, I want to be able to use the fully mature Tiger system, rather than having to rely entirely on Leopard. Who knows whether the software I own will be fully compatible with Leopard? Or how long it will take for developers (think Adobe) to update if there are incompatibilities with Leopard. Or even just how stable and reliable and all like that Leopard will be.

  • I'm about to buy the MacBook Pro Retina 15 inch in USA. I will be using predominantly in Europe. What accessories should I be buying?

    We can't discuss what Apple is going to do or new products, but it does make a lot of sense if your gut feelings tell you to buy now.
    I got a really bad feeling and ran out and got the last of the 17" MBP's with anti-glare and Snow Leopard.
    Turned out I was right in listening to my gut, the abortion of OS X Lion came out killed my 15", Cupertino HQ was pwned by Flashback and Apple pulled the 17" MBP completely off the market.
    Apple has purposely put the Retinas front and center in their stores, so the majority of the know-nothings buy those. If they thought a bit about buying a machine with future options in upgrade options they would, like you, choose the non-Retina.
    Really if you want choice in hardware, your going to have to switch to a PC. As you can pretty much get anything you need on that platform. Apple's hardware choices have been sealing up and their OS X is turning into iOS, soon it's going to be nothing more than a dumbed down iPad.
    Windows 8 Pro can be downgraded to Window 7 even, and since Win 7 is supported until 2020, you should be set for quite a few more years. The choice of software is vast on Windows and it's sort of the next eveolutionary step up actually.

    No, you don't. If you got it from the Mac App Store, log into it with the same Apple ID and redownload it for free. If you got it from CDs or DVDs, reinstall it from those; having the DVD version of a program does not get you a free download of it from the Mac App Store.

  • About to buy the EA4500 dont want to upgrade to cloud firmware

    Hi , im about to buy a Linksys EA4500 router. Ive been reading that there is a forced update.And i would have to use the cloud. If i brought the EA4500 and connected it to my pc but did not connect it to my modem for internet access. And then went to the web interface.Is there an option to disable automatic updates Ie manual upgrade and untick upgrade automatically on the firmware option that comes out of the boxed EA4500?
    Thx in advance
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi! If you want to disable the automatic update, all you have to do is to access the advanced settings page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of a browser. It will try to guide you with the setup process, but you can skip it (you will see a link to skip the setup). If it asks for for the local access login, use 'admin'. Click the connectivity tab on the left. Once the window will open, you will see a checked box for 'Automatic' under firmware update. Uncheck the box and click Apply. BTW, even if the router has the cloud firmware, you can always choose to access it locally and not via cloud. 

  • About to buy the x1900xt

    hello, i found a good deal on the ati card for the mac pro. i read a lot about the card and there have been mixed reviews. to me it seems the card doesn't bode well when playing high-end games. at least that's what i get from the reviews, the fans get louder and the card overheats. i use my computer for video and graphics. i think im going to buy it but i wanted to check something before i buy.
    1. has anyone heard if a new card will be coming out for the mac pro? i would hate to buy this and next week apple/ati comes out with a new one.

    There are two sides to this argument.
    On the one hand, god knows who makes the decisions about graphics cards in Apple. The fact that the best graphics card in Apple's most powerful flagship workstation is almost 2 years old now is ridiculous. iMacs, Mac Books, Mac Book Pros, you name 'em, they've all had their respective graphics capabilities upgraded during this period, but the options available for the Mac Pro have doggedly hung in there without even a sign of change. The fact that Apple seem almost **** bent on ignoring their highest paying customers (let's face it a decent-spec Mac Pro ain't cheap) is frankly ridiculous.
    Anyway, rant over. As for the X1900XT, its saving grace is the fact that it is considered by many to be the one of the finest cards of its generation, and even in its silver-haired years is a very capable card for gaming. I can run Call of Duty 4 (about as recent as game releases come) with pretty much everyone set to maximum, at a resolution of 1920x1200 with a very playable framerate. The same goes for Team Fortress 2, Half Life 2: Episode 2, Bioshock and World of Warcraft, so no major worries for gaming right now. The only game so far that I've had less than stellar performance with is the Crysis Demo. But bring the resolution down a bit and it's ok (1280x800 worked pretty well).

  • About to buy the Mega 180

    Hi Everyone... I am looking to build a SFF/HTPC system for our bedroom. We want to be able to watch movies on it, use it as our Stereo system, Internet, and some Video conferencing stuff (cause in my new position it include travel). Before I go out and purchase everything I would like to run things by you guys and get some comments, feedback, suggestions, etc... Also note the system will only be connected to a TV no monitor (might use one for set up is about it).
    Purposed System:
    Mega 180
    Dual DDR 400 (2x256 - I already have this ram sitting around right now)
    AMD XP2500+ (Does any one know if I can use the Mobile CPU in this yet?)
    Seagate 200GB HDD (Bought it already... CompUSA had a good sale)
    Lite-On 16X DVD Dual Drive, Model SOHW-1633S
    MS Wireless KB & Mouse (Already bought)
    Logitech Z640 5.1 Speakers  
    Logitech QuickCam  
    Windows XP Media Center 2004
    I'm considering add the ATi 9600 AIW as well.
    Any and all constructive comments are welcome. Thanks guys/gals!

    for starters, if you are not using a seperate video card, then i wouldn't have bothered getting DDR400 memory, as it will only run at 333 anyways
    the Mobile XP2500+ SHOULD (in theory) work, but note elsewhere that people have had problems with it
    if you are looking to overclock this system then i seriously wouldn't bother, as the cooling system is poorly designed and temperatures run higher than normal - even at stock speeds
    otherwise everything else should be ok  
    oh, and Windows XP Media Center edition is not available to buy, only if supplied with an official Media Center PC... unless you've got a copy from elsewhere of course  

  • I need to talk with someone about probably buying the wrong service.

    Until yesterday, I had Premier and a basic Creative Cloud account with only Photoshop and Lightroom.  In an effort to combine these into one Creative Cloud service and get access to the rest of the suite, I upgraded the Premiere product to Creative Cloud at the $49.99 price level.  Now, it appears I have two Creative Cloud accounts and will be charged $49.99 or one and $9.99 for the other. 
    Is this is what will happen or do I need to cancel the one that has only Photoshop and Lightroom?
    Thanks

    The Photoshop Photography Program  has been cancelled today , you have only one active complete CC named as Creative Cloud membership (one-year).
    You will be charged only for Creative Cloud membership (one-year).

  • I'm about to buy a 27" i-Mac. I would like to connect my 30" Cinema Display to it as a second monitor. What will I need to do that? Will this slow down the overal performance?

    I'm about to buy a 27" i-Mac. I would like to connect my 30" Cinema Display to it as a second monitor. What will I need to do that? Will this slow down the overall performance?

    The new iMacs do not come with a MiniDisplayPort, they have Thunderbolt, so unless you are talking about purchasing one of the previous generation iMacs such as this refurbished model in the online Apple store, it won't work. And yes, if you are going to get the full range of video resolutions you will need the Dual-Link version.
    For details see the store's web page on the Dual-Link display adapter.

  • IPad 1 Safari Crashes Constantly and getting worse day by day.  Has Apple come up with a solution?  Now I am hearing its alos happening on the newer models.  My company is about to buy a lot of tablets and I will not recommend Apple anything til they fix.

    iPad 1 Safari Crashes Constantly and getting worse day by day.  Has Apple come up with a solution?  Now I am hearing its also happening on the newer models.  My company is about to buy a lot of tablets and I will not recommend Apple anything until they fix the problem.  Granted 30 or 40 iPads is not a huge impact but i promise once the outside world hears about this BS things will change.  There are plenty of other tablets out there that do not have this problem.  At the very least we should have the option of rolling back to a stable IOS...

    I have already tried all the things mentioned above as well as other things such as other browsers etc.  Its is obviously a problem with the hardware.  I also borrowed a brand new 4th gen iPad and it does the same thing.  Even after upgrading it to 6.01.  An occasional crash is one thing and can easily be waved off but this is clearly systemic and the problem appears to be related to graphical images and videos.  Both iPads are the 64gb versions, the only difference other than model is the iPad 1 has ATT cellular.  The new version is clean i.e no other APPs loaded other than what came with it.  I have 7 more coming but im seriously considering sending them back in favor of an Android tablet or the MS Surface.

  • Hi everyone, I have LR 5 that I purchased with a serial number and about a week ago I got the message about a new update, I want to get LR 6 but not the creative cloud, last time from LR4 to LR5 there was just an update without buying the creative cloud,

    Hi everyone, I have LR 5 that I purchased with a serial number and about a week ago I got the message about a new update, I want to get LR 6 but not the creative cloud, last time from LR4 to LR5 there was just an update without buying the creative cloud, is that possible from LR5 to LR6? Thanks so much.

    You can't install 9.2.1 or earlier on any Mac that is only Mac OS X bootable. In fact you need to use the restore disks which came with those Macs to install 9.2.2 on those Macs. 8.6 is only possible to install on Macs which came with 8.6 or earlier. The 9.1 disk may be useful for your 1999 PowerMac G4, but won't be of any use for a 2006 Powerbook G4.

  • I need to synch my iphone, ipod touch and classic to a Mac that I have and 2 I am about to buy. I have legally paid for all my music. If I use migration on my new Macs and clone the original, can I use my iAppliances on all 3 Macs?

    Yes.
    You can authorize up to 5 computers to play itunes music ( pre-itunes plus).  There is no limit on itunes plus ( all itunes music for the past several years) and imported music.
    You can sync as many ipods/ipads/iphones as you like to each of your computers.

  • I have an Ipad and about to buy a macpro. My husband has a PC with a printer attached. Can I use the same printer or do I need to buy my own?

    I have an Ipad and about to buy a Macpro.  My husband has a PC with XP operating system with a printer/scanner. Do I need to buy my own printer or can we both use the same printer?

    It depends. The Mac Pro may come with Lion, or at least 10.6.8, and some printers are no longer supported (Windows 7 either).
    Also, you have to download drivers, sometimes from vendor. Sometimes apple has some thru software update, but not always.
    without knowing printer make/model it is next to impossible to say for certain one way or another. If you do buy new printer, you can walk away with more power in injet, laser, and scanners to make it worthwhile. I had to update all of those when support was dropped. amazing how much faster and better the new models are, and for much less.
