| 99557 | 2002-11-20 09:54:00 | So if I have AC 97 on board sound, I can fit a sound blaster card for improved sounds in my Flight Simulator? | Danger (287) | ||
| 99558 | 2002-11-20 19:51:00 | stay away from ECS motherboards I have only heard bad things about them on the net. They just seem cheap and nasty. Its diffenatly worth having a look at the motherboard with both SD and DDR RAM, SD is really going to be a bottleneck in that system. I know the board being talked about I think its the ASUS A7A266-E www.asus.com.tw But if you want a really really good board (it mean turfing the SD RAM) then the ASUS A7V333 is damm good. Probably the fastest VIA KT333 chipset board out there. Tonnes of features and its got a good price. www.asus.com.tw (i spend way too much time at the ASUS site dreaming) I'm currently using a Soltek SL-75KAV which uses the VIA KT133A chipset it uses SD-RAM (not DDR) doesn't really have any extra stand out features but its good and stable plus its cheap, you can get it for about $200 inc GST now days. Oh and Danger all you need to do is disable the onboard sound in the BIOS and insert the Soundblaster. But unless you have a really good set of ears then you might not hear much of a difference. Also depends on wat sort of speakers you intend to use. |

| 99559 | 2002-11-20 19:56:00 | just remembered your looking for a DVD. OEM Computers in Manakau has the Pioneer DVD 16x for $132 i think. Pioneer would have to be the best DVD brand out there diffenatly worth a look | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
| 99560 | 2002-11-20 20:19:00 | Yes, Pioneer 16x for onlu $95! Great considering from DSE a 52x CD-ROM will cost me $55, forty bucks more and I get DVD! This is what I've finalised everything as, motherboard (Supporting SD-RAM and DDR), and Graphics card, sound card etc. Here goes: Elitegroup K7S5A VIA KT266 Chipset Socket A ATX 200/266MHz c/w Sound (www.xbitlabs.com) AMD Athlon XP CPU 1700+ (1.4GHz) FSB266 Heatsink for AMD Athlon Samsung 16x DVD-ROM ATX Case with 250W Power Supply Creative Sound Blaster live Digital 5.1 Realtech 8139c PCI Network Card 10/100 TX 256 MB SD-RAM 133Mhz PC133 MSI Geforce 4 MX 440SE-T 64MB DDR VideoCard with TV out Hows that all souding? I like that the Moterboard supports DDR and SD-RAM, but not at the same time which is kinda stink ?! Lemme know what you think and I'll be ordering most of it today Cheers Chilling_Silence |

| 99561 | 2002-11-20 21:43:00 | eeemmmmmm........ that board looks alright, good review, good features. So it might be alright. If you do decide to buy that board make sure you get it without the on board L.A.N since you already have a card and save a dew dollars. Is it possiable to buy it in NZ? Where abouts are you getting the DVD for $95 from sound too good to be true might have to get me one. |
