thanks part angkuy... mupalit ko sa modshoppe karon... na-ungot man gud gahapon... 3yrs man ila hatag nga warranty then ang presyo mas barato ug couple of hundreds... do you know this place bro?

[maRckie]

bro angkuy, sli man tong link... dili ultra... but what you said was right... the 9npa3 does not support firewire... pero functionality wise, they are just the same according to anandtech.com

i'm not really planning to use it in SLI mode...yet. 'Cause it actually makes better sense to get a faster card like a single 7900GT compared to two 7600 GTs. Its cheaper and the performance difference is negligible. But i'd still like to have the option to add another card just incase (whether for SLI mode or for PPU) besides gamay ra man ang difference sa price sa Epox 9NPA+ Ultra and SLI...at least if i get it sa akong kaila.

Pero wa pa ni nako gi problema karon bro, naghuwat pa ko sa Vista before decide ko what hardware to buy mga end of the year naman daw gawas. Payts paman akong current setup to run most of the apps and games albeit ma feel na nimo ang age gamay panagsa hehe. Suya2x lang gud ta sa mga bago gud bisan ok pa ang dagan sa PC hehe.

kinsa imo kaila bro nga barato ang 9npa+ sli? naay warranty?

[angkuy]

Yah, sorry but aside from the SLI chipset same ra man ila features and naa ra pud didto sa same site ang ultra you just have to go through the menus hehe... if ganahan ka mag SLI gyud and dont mind not having the firewire and the extra satas try the 9NPAJ SLI i'm sure its way cheaper but performs just the same.

I get all my computers from coopertech (talamban, across sto.nino vil - 3464669)... order basis ra na sila so wa na silay stock nga idisplay pero usually it takes a day or two ra for them to deliver as long as di pud weekend. 1 yr. warranty on all parts. They give me sort of a special price though kay suki naman tahay...pero pm me if you want a referral basin makatabang ta ginagmay. Don't know if makaingon ba ka nga cheapest sila pero lisod man gud kay sige man ilis ang prices sa market pero makaingon ko nga competetive ilang prices (theres no harm man pud if suway lang kag hangyo diba hehe). Aside from Epox, they've also got mobos from ASUS and Gigabyte. But sukad Epox man akong paliton gyud (aside from DFI) kay if di ko mag OC sa Epox nalang ko kay sakto ra gyud iyang price-performance ratio...lig-on pud. Not to say nga di ni maka OC ang Epox kay like sa past post nako daghan na ni siyag nalupigan nga mas expensive nga brands. If you wanna know if masaligan ba pud ni ang akong gipalitan, well i'm not sure what this means to you but they've tried assembling 2 x Opteron 275 dual core rig (if i'm not mistaken, this is one of the top of the line nga Opteron) and thats something na for me considering you dont find these in most of the PC shops here.

By the way bro, if mudayun kag palit sa modshoppe ba tell me about their service pud nya... i try to keep myself updated sa different shops diri kay its better to have lots of options hehe...

[maRckie]

i think mudayon jud ko ron... but i was kinda turned off yesterday coz nagsigeg kadelay ang delivery (they deliver man daw kuno)... but the contact person i have had an accident thats why na delay... understandable man pud coz syempre kinsa man pud maganahag accident di ba?

pero i hope nga ma-push through na gyud tonight... i'll be posting it tomorrow...

bro angkuy: pangutana kuno kung naa silay epox 9npa+ ultra then kung pila... kay sa modshoppe ang naa kay ang 9npa3 ultra ra then walay pakapin nga cables... kay lahi bya ang bundle sa 9npa+ sa 9npa3... please pm me the price na lang... ty!

[angkuy]

ok, no prob bai... tom. pa siguro ko maka inquire pero ill let you know as soon as i can...

[maRckie]

Well nakapalit nako sa modshoppe gahapon...

Anyways, the mobo is ok naman.. la pa lang ko kahibaw kung unsa kaha nga mga tests ang akong pwede buhaton para makasure ko sa performance... any suggestions?

Here's my rig... :mrgreen:
