Which MB should i pick for new system?

Hi i'm new to the forum and just signed up. Sorry if this isn't posted in the right section. I'm about to build a new system with a AMD 64 +3700 (which i allready bought)
But i can't choose the right MB. Last time i built something it was 2 years ago. Much have changed :o
I've been looking at this MB for a while.
K8N Neo4-FI

I have 2 questions about it
1. I've read that the NB Fan is loud. Can i replace it with something else?
2. I haven't decide which video card to get. But i wonder if any of these 2 will fit cos of the NB?
Sapphire Radeon X1800XT 256MB GDDR3
XFX GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 XXX

Go for MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum 
Yeah.. the Platinum is a more "feature rich" board & supposedly has a more tweakable BIOS as well. I like mine fine.

IMHO, we should wait to mature AM2 a little, and also as Richard has said to prices come down, but undoubtly that's the way to follow if you are planning to upgrade your system. There is no case upgrading now to 939, and in few months to AM2
Very true - if you have a decent pile of 939 parts, there's no real reason not to use them.

and also AMD has said that no more 939's are going to be developed, just the models that has been produced until now.
Now THAT is a rotten shame. It would have been nice to get 1 generation of 65nm, 939 CPU's as a "going away" present. Bet some of those would OC' like crazy...

  • Help with plan for new system

    I was hoping to get a little expert advice on the system that I am planning on building. I was looking at picking up the "MSI Z68A-GD80 (B3)" motherboard, along with an Intel 510 SSD 120 gb drive. I am planning on partitioning the SSD into two drives, one for the max 64 gb ISRT cache, and the other with the rest of the space for the win7 prof 64 bit OS drive.
    So my question is if the splitting of the SSD is possible like I mentioned?
    and next, what should I pick for a data/app drive? I am not sure whether to go with my usual 2 drive raid-0 setup, or simply get one drive since I will be using ISRT. Any suggestions?
    Another note, after I read about booting from USB devices, I plan on skipping the floppy drive 
    Thank you for any input.

    Booting of USB device can be set as a priority in BIOS.
    SSD is like any HDD, just do the partitioning during setup.
    RAID wise, it is up to your preference. Speed or Mirroring or Balance?

  • Elgato TV - which tuner should I pick?

    Between the Hybrid and the 250 plus, which one should I pick. I would go for Diversity, but I really want to hook up my XBOX 360 to my iMac.

    If you want to use it for gaming, you want the eyetv 250 plus. It is a hardware encoder and therefore doesn't have the latency (delay) of the eyetv hybrid.

  • How much RAM should I install for new iMAC ?

    Hi,
    How much RAM should I install for new iMAC* running Logic Studio? It comes with 4 GB - is that enough? (can you run in 64 bit mode..)
    *(The 21.5" 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)
    Also, I was planning to get the stock 1 TB Hard Drive & save projects to an external drive.
    Does that sound reasonable?
    Any other recommendations?
    Thanks,
    Wm Heart

    Unless you plan on running huge projects with enormous sampled instruments, 4 GB will do (very) fine. And your disk plan is sound. Choose an external Firewire drive, rather than USB. FW is easier on the CPU and can handle more tracks than USB.
    What you should get, instead of more memory, is a (24 bit) external audio interface, if you want to do serious recording and playback.
    What type of audio interface you'ld need, depends on what you want to do with it and of course your budget. From decent to brilliant costs from roughly 100 to several 1,000's of europounddollars. Avoid the 16 bit ones, they're worse than the inbuilt audio chip of your iMac. You can recognize 16 bit Audio Interfaces (in webshops) by their prize (often under 100€£$) and the lack of mention of their bitrate.

  • I am planning to buy DSLR Camera which one should I go for .

     Dear Team,
    I am planning to buy DSLR Camera which one should I go for . I have selected  three camera models EOS Rebel T4i DSLR , EOS Rebel T5i DSLR  or EOS 7D please let know the cons and pros of the three cameras and help in buying .
    Regards,
    Kalyan 

    There's not much of a jump from the T4i to the T5i; Canon releases updates to these Rebels so frequently they often lack substance.  Looking at the specs I don't see anything that jumps out at me - I'd grab whichever one I could get cheaper.
    The 7D is a substantial jump up.  Much more sophisticated autofocus.  Faster burst rate, shorter shutter lag, weather sealing, better build, better LCD, viewfinder coverage, etc.  Keep in mind it's the same old sensor, but there's a lot more to a camera than a sensor.   The 7D has been the go to camera of sports enthusiasts for years.
    Edit:  I didn't mean to sound like I was selling the Rebels short, I think they're a great camera for the price, depending on your needs.  There are things that more novice photographers may prefer in a camera over the 7D, like built in flash, or the flip out screen, or in-camera HDR.

    For the ISR G1, it was supported from 12.4(24)T, so I would assume that your ISR G2 has this feature if you are running 15.x.
    EDIT: The Feature-navigator says that it's supported starting with 15.1(2)T.

  • My phone broke and i need a new one. Which phone should i pick?

    I've had a samsung smooth (basic phone) for around 3 years now. It recently broke and I can no longer use it. I noticed verizon has a bunch of ****** basic phones and no feature phones to sell their smartphones. What phone should i buy? I'm thinking about either the samsung brightside or buy a used ENV3 from somewhere. Speaking of which, if i do manage to get an ENV3 and activate it, will i have to pay for the data plan? Also would it be part of my family plan or seperate? I can't wait for new phones to come out ( I doubt it anyways) so what should i do? I really want the ENV3 more than the samsung brightside but don't know if it'll be part of my plan or what'll happen if it breaks. 
    I even found a new ENV3

    but I'm not sure if my dad will let me purchase it because it's from e-bay

    Ok do i need to go to a verizon store because my phone can't turn on. It split into 2 pieces. Also it says it's $80 for the bid and $90 for the purchase but when you scroll down and click on Included items, it says $400 for MSRP. I never bought anything from E-bay or ever auctioned so I'm confused what the real price is and how much the tax will be. Here's the link:

  • Round cables for new system

    I went and ordered my new system components last night and now I need to figure out what cables I will need.
    I want to use the round cables as the flat ribbon cables impede airflow too much.
    I am not sure whether I want to put a floppy drive in or not as it isn't really needed these days, although it is nice for backing up Intenet Explorer Bookmarks quickly.
    Which round cables should I get for my new system, how would you connect them and where have you found the best prices on them?
    I believe the MSI GeForce4 Ti4200 video card comes with a round cable in the retail box I ordered so that takes care of one of them.
    I appreciate the help.  
    My system is going to be as follows:
    MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Mobo
    AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton processor
    Mushkin 512 MB PC2700 222 Level II Hi Performance RAM
    MSI G4Ti4200-VTD8X128 video card      
    Western Digital 80GB 8MB buffer HDD
    LITE ON 16X XJ-HD166S/165H DVD/CDROM
    TDK VeloCD 40x12x40 CDRW

    Mike,
      Yes round cables are the way to go and they connect the same way as your ribbon cables. I use VANTEC in my machines but there are many good manufacturers. Try this link to check for the best prices http://www.pricewatch.com/
    The round cables are also very easy to tywrap out of the way for maximum airflow as you mentioned )

  • Which listener should be used for JTextArea

    Hi,
    I need to add a listener for JTextArea particualy when
    the text in the jtextarea is changed. I don't think
    mouse listener is enough, since the user can use tab to
    get to the jtextarea and edit the text. In this case,
    which listener should I use. Sample code would be
    helpful.
    In addition, I have a problem with the jtextarea that
    when user uses tab to go to different gui components,
    such as jtextfield, jcombobox, jtextarea, jlist, etc, the
    tab stays in the jtextarea and keeps appending to it. It does
    not go to next component, such as jlist. How can I make it
    work?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pin

    It doesn't work. Are you using 1.4 or 1.3? I am using
    1.4.
    In the 1.4 API, it says that isManagingFocus is
    "Deprecated".
    Here is what I have:
    JTextArea descrptArea = new JTextArea() {
    public boolean isManagingFocus() {
    return false;
    descrptArea.setRows(3);
    descrptArea.setLineWrap(true);
    descrptArea.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
    // DO SOMETHING
    I found the following code which says it will do it.
    However, I got the exeception:
    java.lang.ClassCastException:
    n: javax.swing.KeyStroke
    at java.util.TreeMap.compare(TreeMap.java:1081)
    at java.util.TreeMap.put(TreeMap.java:459)
    at java.util.TreeSet.add(TreeSet.java:205)
    Set forwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
    forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke('\t'));
    forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEven
    .VK_TAB,
    InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
    textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys
    (KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
    forwardTraversalKeys);
    Set backwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
    backwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEve
    t.VK_TAB,
    InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK));
    backwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEve
    t.VK_TAB,
    InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK |InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
    textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys(
    KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
    backwardTraversalKeys);
    Any idea???
    PinI'm not using 1.4 but the class cast exceptions look like they come from : Set forwardTraversalKeys=new TreeSet() etc
    try : TreeSet forwardTraversalKeys=new TreeSet()
    you cant cast from a Set to a TreeSet because a TreeSet is a Set but a Set is NOT a TreeSet.
    hope this helps.

  • HEY APPLE! What are upgrade policy plans for new systems shipping with 10.4

    I just ordered a brand new Xserver, thinking that there would be some policy in place for brand new computers shipping with 10.4, to get the new version of OSX Leopard Server (without having to buy a retail copy) - however to my surprise, there is nothing currently in place.
    Will there be an upgrade policy soon for users who have just ordered new computers, currently shipping with 10.4??? Or should we return recently ordered items, and stop ordering new systems until they start shipping with 10.5?

    Assumptions such as this one are often a recipe for disappointment and/or for extra expenses; I've certainly learned to be cautious with these.
    In this case, there is a policy that has been in place (AFAIK) since the Leopard announcement.
    For details on and requirements of the Leopard upgrade policy, do read the [Mac OS X Up To Date|http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate> web site.
    Those folks outside the Leopard upgrade window that are upgrading to Leopard (and that don't have a separately-purchased Right-to-Upgrade) will be purchasing and ordering the upgrade. You may end up purchasing an iLife upgrade, too — if you're using it, and not already at the current release — as Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server upgrades apparently do not include an iLife upgrade.
