Hi all,

I haven't followed the thread for quite some time as I have been busy. But if you forward any updates you would like to see on this thread to me, I will do my best to get them updated ASAP. Thanks.

hehe, I wish. I just thought I would make a play on words based on my avatar.

Yeah, I was making a play on words with your play on words

Beaner · 07-23-2006, 11:10 AM

So....what's the latest on the 'guide' ?
Are there any plans to update it prior to all the new installs us Conroe buyers will be doing?

Dan-Baer · 07-23-2006, 01:41 PM

A new guide for the Dual processor, PCI-e, SLI, Vista era will be very valuable indeed.

I know it has been awhile since anyone has posted here.

So has anyone used this guide for installing Vista?

I am going to build myself a new system based on a Asus P5B Deluxe, E6600, Ati Radeon X1950 Pro, SB Audigy 2 and Windows Vista Ultimate. Already have mostly everything just waiting on memory and video card to arrive.

Just wondering is there anything to watch out for while installing Vista.

Dan-Baer · 02-04-2007, 07:17 PM

Just be sure to get the latesr drivers and allow Vista a few reboots to index and take stock of things.
I have to ask, why get a DX 9 graphics card if you are building a new rig for Vista?

I agree, this site haslost something, not a lot of posts,

Does Ati make a DirectX 10 card?

I have looked at the Nvidia cards on Newegg but the ones I seen are out of my price range. So I will have to wait for the prices to come down. I have tried Nvidia based cards in the past. Had some issues with some. I purchased an eVGA card not to long ago for another system. Had to return three of them due to bad memory. So I purchased an Ati and have stuck with them for now.

ATi's DX10 part, R600, will come out in March. Nvidia should be launching their mid-range DX10 cards based on G86 around the same time.
Nvidia G86 to launch around CeBIT time
