I have an ATI AIW x800xl (which I used on my old AMD build and am trying to sell). I can confirm that the TV tuner on the AIWs does not work in Windows Vista and is not recognized by Vista Media...
I don't really see the point of micro-ATX form factor boards and even small form factor desktop PCs. Even with a tiny PC case, it still is a major pain to transport because you have to carry the...
That board uses the Nvidia NForce 3 chipset, and unfortunately Nvidia is taking a very un-customer friendly approach and only really supporting Vista on NForce 4 chipsets and above. They do have...
For more than 2 GB of RAM to be used, you'd have to be using Vista and running huge games or doing a ridiculous amount of multitasking. You also don't really want to run > 2 GB unless you are...
Well the Prescott core P4s like the one you have are notorious for heating, power consumption, etc. Another thing to know about P4s and later Intel processors is they have overheating protection,...
DDR2-800/ PC2-6400 is 800 MHz RAM, and is generally the standard. A lot of boards don't support the 1000 MHz RAM, and it is generally aimed at the enthusiast/overclocking market. Because the...

The 5200+ is listed at $169 on NewEgg, and the price comparable Core 2 Duo is the e6300 at $167. However, I would strongly recommend paying the...

And the other factor is with the Barcelona core processors launching in the next few months, AMD is probably going to ditch AM2, while LGA775 at least already supports quad core for if they come down...

I have been an AMD processor buyer for years (I don't remember the last Intel processor I owned, was probably a 486). However, the Core 2 Duos are just annihilating even the highest end Athlon X2's...
