Doc, can you help me out with something i don't understand. Maybe its just the words, but what does a bus do and why use the word bus? The same for envelope. Please forgive my dumbness. Thank you!

The word Buss comes from an electrical term relating to and electrical circuit. Specifically it refers to a set of parallel conductors in a circuit that forms a main transmission path.

The term envelope comes actually from another computer concept when using a lasso in programs such as Photoshop. The resultant area included within the lasso area is called an envelope. Really because it is a logical container that holds information. Like an envelope holds a letter.

Steve and Doc,

I've a feeling Bill may be making a point.

Doc,

Gigabyte boards rule! I built my computer around on and it is super stable. Of course I've probably just cursed myself.

Steve,

If my software showes up in time for me to get it registered by the 27th I'll get the upgrade.

Congratulations - how many did you make - one?

Sorry, I shouldn't really - you just make it soooooooooo easy Pedro......



BTW, have you had any problems with latency recently?

Yes, Unless you have been digging up some history, been exposed to similar technologies in the past, the lingo is not at all obvious.

Doc,

I did some digging around and it was hard to find exactly what I wanted here in the USA market (I refuse to buy from foreign markets due to the import duties). It was between this board and an ASUS board. The deciding factors being gaming quality graphics acceleration (I like seeing the wave drawn real time rather than seeing "busy" and the board support ATI CrosfireX), Firewire capability, Phenom 9650 support with capability to overclock to over 3GHz, 8GB+ of 1066 MHz RAM (this one will support 16 GB), and PCI support for at least two SSL Duende cards. I've had good experience with both manufacturers boards. All the PCs I've built on their platforms have been rock solid. But with X-mas coming around the corner I don't expect to get this machine done till end of January.

Doc,

I went with the GA-MA790X-DS4 from newegg. I opted for the AMD board but my previous one was Intel. Again, it's been a solid performer. I put in a Gigabyte video card because I figured that they should play well together out of the box and so far I have not been disapointed. My case is an Antech P180 which lives up to it's reputation of being quiet. I hope to get another 6G of RAM and upgrade to the next version of Windows, not Vista, once the bugs are worked out.
