GFX card has died, what new cards will my P965 Platinum support?

Good morning all. As the topic says, my gfx card has died. It was a Gainward 8800GTS 320mg, and fell foul of the apparently common solder issue. It's way out of warranty now, so i need a new card. I can't afford a full upgrade, so i need to find a card that will run on my P965 Platinum. The 3 cards that i'm considering are the nVidia 550Ti, the ATI 6790, and most of all the ATI 6850. Will they all work, but primarily will the 6850 work on the P965, or will I have issues due to it being an ATI card?
My hardware specs are:
P965 Platinum, running the stock BIOS (i assume, i have never flashed it).
Intel E6600 dual core, running at stock speed.
4 sticks of Corsair xms2 "cm3x1024-6400c4" 4-4-4-12 800mhz DDR2 ram, at stock settings.
Corsair HX620W PSU. I can't check exactly what it's running at as the gpu is dead, but the manual says:
+3.3V 24A 170W
+5V 30A 170W
+12V1 18A 600W
+12V2 18A 600W
+12V3 18A 600W
-12V 0.8A 9.6W
+5VSB 3A 15W
WD Raptor system drive.
As a secondary question, what E and Q chips can the Platinum take, preferably without a BIOS update? The main MSI website no longer has the 965 specs available and my manual is nowhere to be found.
Thank you very much for any help that you can provide.
edit: sorry, forgot to mention that i'm running XP SP2 (32bit i think), and have no intention of ever having 2 gfx cards so crossfire/SLI isn't an issue for me. Upgrading to 64bit win7 is no trouble if that's necessary/advised.

My iMac G5 iSight has died. New iMac on order.

My 5+ year old 20" iMac G5 iSight has died after a recent 3 hour power outage. I have nothing. It has acted a little stubborn with some restarts recently and I waited a little too long to replace. I tore it down and replaced the PRAM battery but no luck, I am thinking it is a power supply issue. I have a new iMac on order which should arrive next week. I also should have a good Time Capsule backup.
I would like to remove the hard drive and put it an external firewire enclosure, reboot from that and restore my data and applications. Will be going from a PPC iMac to an Intel. Is this a valid option? My main concern is my Quicken data and program. I have been running Quicken 2006 and don't really want to upgrade from the reviews I have read. Don't have the install disk for Quicken 2006 anymore.
Thanks in advance!
Jim

Removing the drive is an excellent idea, you should be able to mount your firewire external and use it on your new machine.
I'm not sure if you will be able to reboot from the FireWire external, it depends on the damage done by the hard shutdown (get yourself a USP, I use APC models, they're very good and have saved me many a time, I live in the country and the power is always going off), but it's likely that you can.
Please post back with results,

I have a Mac book pro, 15" that I bought 4 years a go, the logic board has died, what recoarse do I have with Apple regarding a product that should last years

I have a 15" Macbook that I bought in late 2007, which is just 4 years old Since then the battery wont hold a descent charge, the screen had to be changed and now the logic board has died. plus there is an issue with the video card for that same model. I would expect a product that carries the Apple brand to last longer. They are not cheap to buy and its some thing that I cant afford to replace every few years. Does any body think that Apple has an obligation to do the right thing or am I expecting too much.

Four years is a pretty typical lifespan for a battery (and for a computer in general).

You are expecting too much.

What new features will the iPod touch 4 gen get in iOS 6?

i want to know what new features the IPOD TOUCH will get in iOS 6....and i possible can you also tell me what it WONT have but the OTHER devices WILL have? thank you

N97 v3.0 what new things will be there?(if any)

apart from those usual bug fixes what new realistic features do you all think n97 probably will get? for me i want
-actual skype video calling
-threaded sms
-virtual keyboard(portrait and landscape)
-transition (theme)effects
-fluid kinetic scrolling
-smooth and fast browsing(everywhere)
-smile/face detection for camera
-single tap(probably won't happen on n97 though)
if all these things can make it into n97 i'll be very happy=D

1. Just the properly integrated Skype client that was promised.
2. Would be nice.
3. Yes, I don't understand why they don't have it already.
4. Better to keep these turned off due to the limited hardware.
5. Yes, but I think this is difficult because of hardware constraints.
6. Yes, better browser.
7. Instead make the camera respond faster.
8. Yes.
Add to this
- remove the trial apps from the firmware
- remove the nag notices
- add two extra home screens. Only the main home screen would have Internet widgets, the extra ones could then be either an app launcher, a contacts screen, or a calendar/task screen.

New Computer with the P965 Platinum

Hello. I'm new to computer building. I'm tired of Dell. I just ordered the following setup:
1 Thermaltake Bach VX Mid Tower Computer Case
1 Thermaltake Purepower 600W Power Supply
1 MSI P965 Platinum Motherboard
1 Intel Core 2 Duo E6700
1 ZALMAN 9700 CPU Cooler
1 Mushkin eXtreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
1 EVGA GeForce 8800GTX
2 SAMSUNG 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
1 SAMSUNG 18X DVD±R SATA DVD Burner
1 ASUS Black SATA DVD-ROM Drive
1 Microsoft Windows Vista 32-Bit Ultimate
Did I screw anything up? I was wondering if I will be able to assemble the computer and have it boot the first time. Or should I expect problems? Does anyone have any insight or wisdom for me as to what I should expect?
I had a few specific questions:
1.) RAID0 configuration: Is there more than one RAID controller? If so, which is better?
2.) Windows Vista (32 bit) installation: Is there anything I should do before installing Vista?
3.) Overclocking: After the dust settles I want to mildly overclock my CPU, GPU, and RAM. Does anyone have any recommended overclock settings or links on how to do this?
Thank you.

Why overclock? Mainly because of intellectual curiosity and because faster is better all else equal. It's like Spinal Tap - I want my volume to go to 11!
Thanks T_smith for the overclocking how-to, but it appears my BIOS options on the P965 are different that yours. I will start a thread in the Overclocking forum.
My computer runs great and is fast. It's been quite a learning experience so far. You guys have been a lot of help. Thank you.
I created a bootable USB drive (definitely good to have around) and flashed the BIOS to 1.5b3.
At boot time, the computer beeps once for every USB device that is plugged into the computer. Is there a way to disable that beep in the BIOS? I have a USB mouse and keyboard and it's a bit annoying to listen to the beeps.
I installed CPU-Z. I got a scare to see my CPU idling at 1.6 GHz instead of 2.67 GHz (6 multiplier vs. 10 multiplier). Then I realized it was completely normal because of Intel SpeedStep.
I installed MSI DualCore Monitor, nVidia nTune, CoreTemp to monitor my temps.
Here are my temps:
Closed case (messy wires still)
- GPU 68 C
- System 40 C
- CPU 34 C (CoreTemp & DualCore Monitor) vs. CPU 40 C (H/W in BIOS)
Does anyone know why the CPU temp measurements differ so dramatically? SpeedStep?
If I take the side panel off the computer, all temps drop 3-5 C.
I noticed that HDD write cache is disable by default. Do you guys think it's worth enabling? It's a performance vs. data protection question. I don't mind a little data loss in the event of a power failure, but I don't want the OS to become permanently unstable.

What video cards will the p7-1423w support?

I would like to upgrade my video graphics to something that will support Witcher 2. I picked up a video card but then realized the power consumption is too great for this pc. Any suggestions on what card I can get that will support this type of graphics? (It is a windows 8 machine if that makes any difference.)
Thanks!

Hello Leach69,
There are two things to consider when purchasing a video card. The slots that are available in your computer and the power supply that is already in the computer. If you are looking to play modern games you are going to need a good video card, as you already know. I would suggest that you also consider upgrading your power supply to something that provides more power so that you can use that card that does use more power consumption.
Upgrading the power supply is also going to give you the freedom to do other upgrades in the future if you choose to do so. The power supply that is currently in your computer is only 300w from what I can tell, this means you are going to be extremely limited.
I'd suggest upgrading your power supply to something around a 550w - 600w then you can get just about any video card you want as long as you have the slot for it.

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and the battery has died what kind of battery do I need?

What kind or battery does my late model 2011 MacBook Pro need?

The one that your Apple Store or your Apple Authorized Service Provider will install. MBPs from 2010 on forward do not come with user-replaceable batteries and special tools are needed to remove the one within. Plus whatever one you get outside of the official channel will cost the same if new, so there is no sense in going solo on this.

This happens with the new version of firefox. We have many computers with new fox on it and not the same problem. only certain ones.

What new MacbookPros will support dual booting Lion and Snow Leopard?

I was looking at http://www.macmall.com/n/macNavLinks-305?q=8899071
I need a system that can dual boot so that we can use older software that isn't supported by Lion.

Will k8n sli platinum support 3TB hard drives

Folks,
will the k8n sli platinum motherboard support 3TB hard drives? I have a 3TB hard drive that displays as 746GB. Latest bios is on board and running win7 64bit.
Many thanks
Dave

in the BIOS it states 3TB under the hard drive section, however that might just mean it's reading the drives properties and not it's capabilities if you know what I mean.
In the motherboards raid setup only 746GB on each drive is available and within Windows only 746GB is available.
I've read somewhere that's it's got something to do with 32bit "storage" hardware systems only being able to address 2.2GB or close to that. I think I'm gonna have to upgrade.
cheers
Dave

Maximum resolution a MacMini will go to with a 9400M GFX card?

Hi,
I've read all the posts about people attaching their MacMini to various monitors, but my question is what is the very maximum resolution that the MacMini 9400M GFX card will go to?
I am hoping for a 24" screen so I can use Xcode etc in lots of space. Currently using 4:3 19" monitor.

Dave have you put a 30" on the Mini and/or do you know how it coped?
No, I haven't.
One issue I can imagine is heat because the internals will be working much harder to display all those pixels, would hate to risk damaging my Mini!
Apple has designed the Mac mini to support that resolution and explicitly lists that capability in the specifications, so I can't believe that unless the Mac was defective that there would be a problem with heat.
Regards.
