| 737238 | 2009-01-11 04:23:00 | Up to you what you buy Go to the gigabyte site and do a search. It was just easier typing in wifi on the ASUS site. Than it was on the gigabyte site (it found nothing) Heres one (www.hardcoreware.net) And another (ixbtlabs.com) (A card not onboard) |

| 737239 | 2009-01-12 06:11:00 | oooo okayyy... i guess i wont be looking at wifi mobos. Too expensive atm. Any suggestions for a normal mobo that i can upgrade in the future (ie SLI ready, etc) |

| 737240 | 2009-01-12 18:21:00 | Shop around. Lately I have been buying most from Ascent and pbtech, but a recent motherboard I purchased was $100 cheaper on NZOCzone. I asked Ascent if they could match or better it and they couldn't, the best they would do was drop 10% which did not come close. I look/compare at playtech, C1, pbtech, ascent, computer lounge and nzoczone and for some things dse, plus my wholesale suppliers ingram, renaissance etc. |

| 737243 | 2009-01-26 00:39:00 | Sorry for the late reply guys, I have been away.. hehe I have done some research and here a list of parts that Im planning to buy for my NEW PC!!! CPU:Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz LGA775 6M Cache With Original Fan and Heatsink MOBO:Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3 P45 ATX HARD DRIVE:Western Digital Caviar SE 500GB SATA 7200rpm 16MB hard drive MEMORY:Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C5DHX 2 X 2GB DDR2-800 XMS2 The XMS2 DHX GPU:NVIDIA GEFORCE 9800GT 512MB DDR3 512MB DVI PCI-E OEM DISPLAY:BENQ T2200HD 21.5" Full HD LCD monitor 1920x1080 Case:Antec Nine Hundred Tower Gaming PSU:Seasonic M12 700W PSU Comments anyone?? Are there any other things that I may have to take into consideration?? Like the pins on the PSU.. I just read that some PSU have 6pin or 8pins. Are all these parts compatible with each other? Dual link for the lcd monitor?? or something like that. Do I need to buy a anti-static wrist strap when I install the components(when I have the components) OO Im soo nervous, this is my first time building a pc. So any help would be appreciated. |

| 737244 | 2009-01-26 01:10:00 | I meant Dual link DVI for the GPU?? or something like that. Does it mean I cant connect to an lcd monitor with a single link DVI? | snoopyep (11561) | ||
| 737245 | 2009-01-26 01:14:00 | Anandtech forum clockers really really like that board...! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 737246 | 2009-01-26 01:30:00 | I would personally spend another $100 or so for a Q9450 which has double the cache of the Q9400. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
