S1207 is the M2 socket, yes or no?

Topic: How does 3200 compare to 3000 in overclock? (Venice)
Replies: 2
Views: 414

People generally use the 3200+ for overclocking. As far as I can tell it's mostly because the 3000+ has a multiplyer of 9, while the 3200+ has a multiplyer of 10. So hitting 2.8GHz on the 3200+ would be easier using 10x280MHz then it would be using 9x311MHz on the 3000+

You need to browse around http://silentpcreview.com They'll tell you that Seagates are quitest, Vantec Stealth fans are noisy, and the quietest PS they've ever heard is a Seasonic.

They're a little fanatical if you ask me, but they're very knowledgable.

There will also be a GT and a vanilla 7800, but I haven't seen any specs on them. They'll probably use 7800 GTX cores that can't quite run at GTX speeds. I wish they'd stop trying to draw the suspence and hype out and just release the damn things. Especially if they've got a hot $300 part like ATI h...

I do have the option to change it in the game, but the settings files will only boot the game up at 60Hz unless you change it yourself.

Any bitchen 19" CRTs out there?

I remeber some people mentioning some rather nice 19" CRTs a while back, saying they could do 1600x1200 at 85Hz. What are some monitors with specs like that? The more the merrier, and comments/comparisons are even better.:)

I did hear about Worms 3D and grabbed the demo. It's quirky enough that I played the demo for a while, but never actually bought it.
