[Veech Malone]

Are these the ones with the digital 5.1 audio outputs?

No problem.

There are now some Socket 754 Nforce4 boards just hitting the market.  Asus
makes one.  I haven't seen one yet.  *shrug*

Sorry, Chris, meant to send this to the whole list......Steve


  

Upgrade the MB, of course, means a switch in CPUs, etc.
    

So the CPU has to be changed also????  Well, I guess that's the
impetus to NOT upgrade.  Paid a lot (for me) for that CPU.....

  

Yes, NF4 boards have some advantages (access to more CPUs, dual channel
memory, PCI-Express)
    

I'd have to do a processor/MB change, but I assume memory would
transfer and power supply?  New MBs are still ATX?  I just haven't
been paying a lot of attention to these things.

  

If you have the 6800 (non-GT) then that's a much bigger "hop" .. the
    

6800GTs
  

have dropped below $300.  That's a better bang.
    

A bigger 'hop' from a PCIe board, you mean?  The present board is AGP.

Oh yeah, sorry about the 'A65'  I caught that error in the text, but
not in the subject.
