My PC Died today and I'm moving to AMD.

I require an AGP based motherboard because of my new AGP 6800GT.

I NEED TO PLAY MY GAMES!!! :laugh:

I was looking @ Socket 939 and wasn't sure what I can get in the AGP dept...

I welcome as much help as you guys can give me...

Thx..

why are you stuck with going AGP?

cuz i just spend 284.00 on a new AGP Video card.. I can't replace it.. I just bought it and I don't think I have the cash to buy another video card (PCI-E) :cry:

Even if I sell it I doubt I can get the same one in PCI-Express.

You may have already tried this, but...

1. Turn off and unplug your computer.

2. Remove CMOS battery for about a minute or two.

3. Pop the battery back in, plug the computer back in, and hit the power button.

Make sure it's off and unplugged when pulling the battery as the whole point of this is to remove all power sources from the BIOS so it resets to default parameters.

I've actually had 2 different computers (one an old ASUS CUSL-2BP and a Gigabyte GA-7NNXP) that looked dead upon booting up after a particularly nasty lightning storm here. This fixed the problem on both. It's worth a try...

Perhaps you could return it and say you made a mistake and needed the PCI-E card? That is if you want to go to PCI-E now if its possible.

Wow steven, that sucks. All i can suggest IS to go ahead and try whats already been mentioned. Also, this may seem dumb BUT it helped me and my mates, go ahead and rip apart the pc. and put it back. it may seem stupid, but it helped me MANY times and so forth....... so leemmmeee know asap aite mate

i'm gonna push this Intel system to the side and just take it apart and rebuild an AMD system with my AGP Video Card, Neopower and my Corsair RAM.

So Go ahead and "Show me the money" (parts) ;)

I MUST PLAY MY GAMES!!!!!!!!!!

America's Army Lives in me!!!!!! :D

The Neo2 Platinum will work with the Athlon 64 X2, as MSI's page describes here:

Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core (Manchester, 90nm, L2 Cache 2 x 512KB)

Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4200+ (E4 version)  OK

Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4600+ (E4 version)  OK

Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core (Toledo, 90nm, L2 Cache 2 x 1MB)

Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4400+ (E6 version)  OK

Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4800+ (E6 version)  OK

The Asus board you posted will not work with the X2 since it is a 754 board (at least according to NewEgg's Specs). I am sure you already realized this, but I wanted to clarify.

no need for dual core if you are just going to be playing games, just putting that out there  :cool:

Thats cool I understand but if the price is right.. I'm all over it. :D

oh the budget for this upgrade is..

$500.00 USD

I ask for you help and deploy all of your services! :cool:

Mobo, CPU. (I have plenty of RAM already).

I could use a couple new Hard Drives and a Plextor 16X SATA Burner...

Everything else I already have as you can see in my sig..

I'd liek the CPU to be at least 3200+. I already i'm at 3.2GHz. So I know AMD has lower frequencies but I want to use the "32" as a starting point.

Even if the battery is the problem..

I found this motherboard:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813130468

Will it work with the Latest Athlon X2 CPUs?  :unsure:

586239643[/snapback]

This motherboard is awesome, and I believe yes it would work with the X2.

dL

MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce3 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard - $118.00

AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Venice Integrated into Chip FSB 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor - $367.00

Sorted for life :D

    • How can it beat a Steam machine without a serious GPU? The two CU iGPU only provides about 5fps in gaming. That's not going to make any gamer happy.
    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.
    • Beats Studio Pro wireless over-ear ANC headphones drop to their lowest price yet by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the Beats Studio Pro headphones at their all-time low price. The Studio Pro use 40mm active drivers which are designed to improve clarity and reduce distortion compared to previous models, with up to an 80% improvement over the Beats Studio3 Wireless.

Furthermore, the headphones support personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking as well as Dolby Atmos playback on supported content.

You can also switch between three sound profiles including Beats Signature for balanced music playback, Entertainment for films and gaming, and Conversation for clearer voice in calls and podcasts. Physically, they are designed to be worn for long periods without feeling heavy or awkward. The ear cushions use UltraPlush engineered leather while metal sliders allow you to adjust the fit. On the connectivity side, the Studio Pro use Class 1 Bluetooth for a stable, long-range wireless connection. There is also a 3.5mm input if you want to plug in directly, including use with in-flight entertainment systems. Controls are located on the headphones and include a "b" button for music and call control, a volume rocker, and a multifunction button used for switching listening modes, EQ settings, power, and pairing. In addition, the headphones offer integration with both Apple and Android devices. On Apple devices, they support one-touch pairing with iCloud-linked devices, hands-free Siri access, Find My tracking based on last connected location, and automatic software updates. On Android devices, they support Google Fast Pair, Audio Switch between compatible devices, and Google Find My Device tracking, with additional features available through the Beats app. When it comes to the battery performance, it is rated at up to 40 hours of listening time with ANC turned off, and up to 24 hours with ANC or Transparency mode enabled.

    • "lets you pause updates by choosing an end date, for up to 35 days" Wasn't it "indefinitely"?
    • Those extra reboots are related to the UEFI Secure Boot certificate update thing.
