Hmmm, I dont really know, but if youve seen people do it it must be true! That will be really cool if you get it that high.  I still think that normal ones are better...let other people comment on it.

well, last time i got my ram replaced cuz they said it's faulty, but it's actually not. i'll just tell them my bios isn't working. and as for my ram, i'll say there's a error popping up that says ram is bad. and my hsf, i'll tell them the fan isn't spinning anymore. they don't mind taking back parts.

many ppl have been having probs with both mobos. hmmm... which one should i get?

[tesco]

the abit one looks better too me because it has more onboard features, and its $16 less but i dont know about performance.

wat's up with the ATA100 and the 133? which one do i need? cuz this one and the asus p4p800 one are only ata100. i know they're for hdds, but which one do i have and wat's the difference? i'm so confused rite now

Both mobos look good. Which HS/F are bettter? The ones with the "jet" or the regular ones?

the aero 4 and aero 7 get similar results. they're better than regular hsf's cuz they blow directly onto the cpu and hs. regular fans have a cylinder of space in the middle where there is no airflow. i don't have the pic handy, but there's one that explains this.


btw, do u guys think that ram is overkill? i just need one that ocs good

Your current hdds are probably ata130, which means they have a maximum transfer rate of 133MB/sec.

current 7,200-RPM hard drives have trouble saturating even an ATA/100 interface, which is theoretically capable of transferring data at up to 100MB/sec.

Quote taken from this article

serial ata versus parallel ata

I think ata100 will be fine.

I bought the abit is7-e last week, still haven't used it yet.
Been waiting for e-buyer to deliver my new case for 3 weeks
