It's my understanding that they should work but you would be unable to take advantage of the dual channel architecture if you use different card models (with different CAS values, etc.). I could be wrong.

Hey I just got my Abit AGB 775 Mobo in the mail. I saw a few things about the "Uguru" feature but was wondering exactly what it does. Is it useful or just some extra fluff?

that explains what it is, and does right there. hope that helps.

Ok I have a problem. I made a bonehead move. The new mobo I got is sata compatible but my current hard drive is an ata version. This means I can't hook up my hard drive to my new mobo. My question is, is there a way to transfer all my data from my current hard drive to a new one? I know I can put all my mp3's etc. on cd's but Im concerened about losing my EQ2 progress which leads me to my second question. If I get a new hard drive, re-install EQ2, will my progress still be there when I sign in or will it be gone? Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. If it matters my mobo is an Abit AGB 775 socket.

You will lose zero eq-related files after a reinstall/patch aside from things like screenshots, customizations you've made, etc. All important data (character level, equipment, etc.) is stored on their servers to prevent people from hacking amongst other things.
Also are you positive your MB doesn't have a few IDE slots for a ribbon ATA to plug into?? I'd be surprised if a socket 775 design didn't have at least two of those connections.

Looking at the layout in the manual, the board itself, and description online, it all shows just one. I thought it would have more than one too but too my suprise it didn't. It's really not that big of deal because I was thinking of maybe gatting a new hard drive in the future, just maybe not this soon. Oh well, live and learn. Thanks for your help as usual Valarauk.

Ok I've decided to move my hard drive to my new build. I am going to have to get a new Windows XP home cd because I'm using a Dell right now and I've heard I cant move the version of XP on here beacuse it's made for Dell (if I'm wrong please let me know.)
My main question is, is there anything I need to get rid of on my hard drive before I move it to the new PC? Or do I just simply pop it in the new build? Of course I will be uninstalling the current version of XP, but anything else I should remove as well?
you can just pop it in but you will have to reformat the harddrive as winXP ( home & pro) will not allow you to use the old install on a different mobo.
best thing to do is move any files you want to keep, including all emails that have been sent you with passwords etc in, to a cd or other removable media. At the very least dont forget to write down any keycodes for software that you have installed i really cant stress that too much, it took me 3 weeks to get a password sent to me for something at one time after i forgot to make a note of it anywhere except on the computer.
if you have a dvd writer you can even move game save directories onto a dvd and just copy them back after you reinstall the game.
This is where im supposed to put something profound and life changing isnt it?

what i did on my brother's computer when i reformatted was copy all my files (installation, downloads, etc.) onto his hard drives through the network. After installing windows and getting everything ready again, i just copy the files back so i won't have to pop in any cd's or install any drivers
I managed to get my wife to play WoW, and now she's hooked. The only downside to this is her comp can't run it, so she's gotta play on mine. No good! The solution, obviosly is to build her a badass system
I already have lal the optical drives I need, and the case includes 3 fans, so I don't thnink I have any wories there.
Here is what I have come up with, all for under $1k let me know what ya think:
Case: Lian Li Aquarium Panel
MoBo: DFI LanParty 925X-T2 Socket 775 ATX Motherboard / / DDR2 Support / PCI Express / Audio / Dual Gigabit LAN / USB 2.0 / FireWire / Serial ATA
ok i know this been asked a few times but looking for a good video card for like around 300 i have a asrock mb and amd xp 2800 i think thats what it is =P.
Can any 1 give me a few idea's. o yah have agp and pci slots
this comp u put together sounds sweet and u got this all under a 1k? Looks like there is hope for my plans on building a new cart. i have been wanted to play an mmorpg but my comp just cant handle the presure.
i'd try www.koolance.com, but there are many other sites that sell liquid cooling. Try searching google with the keyword of "liquid cooling" or some sort
Dein, I belive you can get a GeForce 6800 for around $300. FRom what I've seen that is the best card in that price range. Try Newegg.com or pricewatch.com. You should be able to find one.
ATi is coming out with the x800XL or something...it is a slimmed down version of the x800 and will be replacing the x700XT. Has 12 pixel pipelines and runs for about 250$. Not sure if it's better thant he 6800 saigon referred, but it's still worth a try

Didn't hear about that fatal. That may just give the regular 6800 a run for its money. I belive that would even be a bit cheaper as well.
Any idea when that card hits the market? If it is already on the market could I get a link? It has me intrigued....
