Re: [H] AMD 780G and 64-bit PCI

Completely different segments. 780G is for ultra cheap bare bones all-in-one HTPC solutions. You'll be lucky to find one with an PCIe slot or hell, more than one PCI slot. > Date: Fri, 2 May 2008 16:37:54 -0400 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com > Subject: [H] AMD 780G

[H] dumb ?

2008-05-02 Thread FORC5
Checking HP for purchase recovery disk sets, impressed. Less the $20. Dumb question, do HP recovery disks ask for keys ? I only ask this because the laptop has media center in it and I do not care for it and would rather order pro. I know the Dell RTM's do not ask for key or activations, shame

2008-05-02 Thread Brian Weeden
Been reading all the reviews drooling over the new 780P chipset for use as a HTPC and was wondering if we will ever see one with a 64-bit PCI-X slot? I just upgraded from an older mobo to a server one with a PCI-X for my 150-6 RAID card and it really makes a difference. But it would also be nice

Well I guess I have to say it's more their support people, Althon Micro, and to their defense like Asus (useless phone support) they are at the mercy of some asian corporation as reverse-outsourced. Althon/sapphire flat out drags their feet on responding to TS tickets and seems never does any "p
