    Crisis, well im kinda glad i dont have all that hassle :p . Only thing i would have is the sound card.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,606 ✭✭✭djmarkus


    i have gigabit onboard my p4c800-e deluxe, why i have the extra NIC is a long story, its to do with backbones of my home network and stuff

    Ahh okay, well not having a lot of pci cards works well for me, i get lots of airflow under that big heatsink which is good :).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,227 ✭✭✭✭Sparky


    ive a gigabit onboard my epox aswell, and i dont need a sound card because theres 7.1 on the mobo, but i dont use it, i use the digital out to a seperate amp for full gaming sound.
    so it just the tv cards for me (mainly for capture)
    is supprising the quality of straight satellite to mpeg


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,984 ✭✭✭Venom


    Only slots I need to use are
    Galaxy Glacier 6800 GT
    Creative Audigy 2 ZS

    Mobo handles everything else :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    The only slots used in mine are 1 PCI-E for the X800, and 1 PCI for TV card. Sound, NIC, etc are all onboard. No 56k modem (PFFFT!!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,240 ✭✭✭Endurance Man

    Well one of the graphics card I had, was a pinnacle card with a break out box, it had a firewire connection. However, Connecting the camera to the firewire care worked just aswell.

    2nd Rig, really only for surfing and folding. Neat and tidy but very uninspiring.
