I am rebuilding my sisters system and want to use the best set available.
Should I be getting it from the Asus site or from Nvidia??

NVidia, and please turn off HTML when posting to Usenet.

Thanks for the quick reply, is there a preferred version? I tried the latest
Nvidia drivers on my A7N8X-E Deluxe and it made my sound distorted.
And what difference does it make if I post in HTML? I am just trying to
understand the reasoning behind your request.

Strange, they work fine for me. You could maybe try the 2.45's.

It is a common courtesy as a lot of people use Usenet clients that
don't understand HTML and it is a waste of bandwidth.

Here here! It is no big deal, but is def. best not to post HTML on usenet.

newsgroups are a text only medium unless the group has BINARY in the
name, even then html is not good nettiquette.
txt post = 3kb
html post = 60kb
many foreigners pay by the kb for downloads, or by time for downloading,
and the bigger the post the more time it takes to download, we are
insulated from the costs here in north america that many other users pay
around the world.

my HTML post was 2kb.
I think the amount of extra bandwidth for HTML posts are greatly
exaggerated.

granted yours was a teensy 2 line post, my examples were just that,
examples
but lets say we have a newbie posting with a coloured background, rich
text etc, then were talking 60k easy.
anyway, Im not justifying anything, just talking about the reasons and
nettiquette.

You don't appreciate how much data is generated by Usenet on a daily
basis, and how ISP's regularly have to upgrade their news servers to
keep up with the load. If we all started posting pointlessly with HTML
(there is absolutely no reason for your text based messages to contain
HTML formatting), the load would increase to levels that several ISP's
would drop their news servers, as they often think it is a luxury they
are not obliged to provide.

As for ISPs dropping usenet support, there are quite a few free news

provides great coverage. All that is required is to go to their

With the price of Hard Drives falling through the basement floor and

uses HTML regularly. Let's face it, the days of text mode news
readers are, or should be, near an end, and I welcome text formatting
capability in usenet. I do oppose background graphics and any other
pointless "frills", but text formatting would be nice, so long as
there are no font downloads required. The larger obstacle is, as
mentioned in an earlier post, those who pay for connect time or pay by
the kb for internet data, and in deference to them, I will continue to
use text mode for now.

Text only newsreaders are as relevent now as they were in the
beginning. There is no good reason not to post in plain text.

But your sensibility isn't shared by the numpties that think web
forums are kewl when you can have pictures and l33t sigs that span

I wouldnt be in such a hurry to welcome html formatting, consider
yourself in a hurry for embedded viruses, malicious scripting and all the
joys that come with unrestrained freedom to post in whatever is the
format du jour.
With your vision of the future, I can easily expect of usenet what I see
today in commercial airline flight... long lines, intensive screening,
registration, authentication, oral and anal exams, lost baggage, and dont
say the B word.
