Love the look/spec of this machine. Don't understand why in this day and age this isn't available here. Let's hope it won't stay that way.

SATAII and IDE drive combination query I got a SATAII drive on this board onto which I've installed and running WinXP Pro SP2 fine. I've left my old IDE connected on the IDE1 channel as a primary master drive. I can see the drive in BIOS, boot and in Windows. I can format the drive in...

I think it is great to see communication like this and certainly explains why your support phone number is constantly engaged at the moment. I have got to RMA a graphics card and would like to know whether it would be quicker to use the web RMA form. What sort of turnaround to get an RMA...

Did you not get a replacement Dave or are OcUK out of stock?

I've got exactly the same problem. On my system the fan stays in "hair dryer" mode.

Interesting montymint. I just took delivery of a Connect3D X1800XT on Tuesday and although I have a different mobo can't get the card to work. See the thread "X1800XT DOA?". If you find a solution I'd be interested to here it, although I'm going to ring OcUK today and see what they say...

No luck on running both cards at the same time or with the deep Fifo setting. It just shouldn't be this difficult so am going to RMA it. Thanks for the help everyone.

Not sure which BIOS version, I can check that tonight. I haven't flashed it yet so it'll be factory default. Board was bought Jan/Feb this year. Thanks for the link, unfortunately my BIOS beep sequence isn't listed. I'll check the deep FIFO thing tonight too.

The board, CPU etc are totally standard. Thanks for the beep codes Ninja. What I found by looking around is that the one I get 2 short, pause, short 9 aren't really covered anywhere :( I'll try booting with both AGP and PCI-E tonight.

Thanks all. - Tagan PSU is modular and set to 'combined'. - Power is connected to the card, tried both ports on the Tagan PSU and both cables - I get 2 short, then the tiniest of breaks and then 9 short beeps; 11 in total - I've now also changed the BIOS from AGP to PCI Express as the...

Looking for a couple of opinions on this before I RMA the Connect3D X1800XT that got delivered today. Spec is as follows: AMD3700 ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 mobo 2*512MB PC3200 Crucial memory 2 HDs on IDE, 1 DVD drive brand new Tagan 530W PSU Radeon 9800Pro AGP gfx card I've got the new...

Thanks for all the replies. Have gone for the Tagan after all :)

Less wires dangling about unused. Good point though I don't have a window or anything on my case. I guess it doesn't absolute have to be so that one is a nice to have :)

I'm looking for a new PSU. Requirements are: - quiet - modular - between 450 to 550W - below 80 quid It seems the Seasonic ones come highly recommended for silence but it doesn't look like they are modular. I've been looking at the Tagan modular PSUs, any thoughts? TIA

The stand on the 2007 is fantastic, rock solid. Screen adjustment is very easy, can be done with one finger. At the current price its ano brainer.

Interesting points, ta. Looks like I can save myself 100 notes :D

Any idea whether 512MB is better to run games at 1680*1050 resolution? Do games take advantage of that much RAM yet or can I save a few quid and just buy a 256MB version. (looking at X1800XT)

Get the Dell esp. as its on a very good offer atm.

AFAIK the VX2025 doesn't do 1:1 pixel mappping so images will always be stretched.

:eek: thats a big one :D
