Hi all, I wanna buy this board http://www.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=A7V8X-X&langs=01 (an A7V8X-X), but RAM should I get for it? As far as I can see PC1600 and PC2100 should be any problem, no matter how I do it. PC3200 would work if I only use two banks (Do I _have_ to use two banks, or is one...

ASUS x58 Sabertooth http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=AM2RChl84MZrKh6J&templete=2 Senior citizen here, and my old ASUS P4S333 is still hanging in, but doesn't have the speed anymore for my needs. Looking at the Sabertooth, since I need long term reliability, and not really into OC, well, maybe...

Hi, Can't seem to find any of these fans with max speed greater than 1500 RPM. Anyone know of any capable of 2000 RPM or greater? Not interested in 3 pin fans here since they'll be maxed all the time on the 4 pin header (ASUS MB). Thanks.

Hi, I have just lost the CD of ASUS SABERTOOTH X58 motherboard. Do you know where I can download the install CD please? Thanks

Good day all. I realize I'm a bit early asking for opinions, but for the first time since motherboards with a classic PCI bus, we get motherboards where we can use a PCIe slot without loosing 1/2 the board's slots, USB ports, M2 slots, etc in the process (thanks to Intel finally realizing that...

Thanks for your tip about xp2200 1.8GHz possible to overclock sometimes to 2.5GHz I have a problem with the prosessor does not react to the multiplier increased above it`s fixed value , meaning multiplier overclocking seems not to be possible. Yes the value of the multiplier change according to...

After playing a game for 20 minutes, the sound changes and is not crisp anymore. So, I have to increase volume. I have Audigy2 ZS on my P4P800 deluxe and have disabled the on-board audio in the bios. Before getting my Audigy sound card, I used the on-board audio and I had the same problem even...

I have an older Model P6X58D-E mobo. Over the last few weeks, the PC would randomly lock up when doing normal things eg. browsing, working etc. Sometimes it would be boot properly (go through the normal black bios text screen) other times I would have to reset it several times by pressing the...

I have been pretty busy the last few days and some interesting things happened. First of all I investigated possible replacements to get a better dream pc. Here is the short list: 1. Antec 1200 case 2. Scythe zipang cpu cooler, which should be much more quieter than the amd stock...

I installed XP Pro on my new PC (3.2GHz Northwood, 1GB PC3200RAM Dual Channel and a 200 and a 120GB Drive hanging on the onboard normal IDE controller). First thing i did after install was to install the Version: 6.0.1.1002 Intel chipset INF utility. But it doesnt seem to "take". If i look into...

Reports have been coming in that the ASUS mainboards will not work with the new Prescott processors - which is the main reason for the 1015 version BIOS patch. If anyone has gotten these boards to work with the new P4 CPUs, with or without the new BIOS, let us know please. If the boards need the...

And as if I have not hawked the Raptor enough, I forgot to mention in comes with a "legacy" 4-pin Molex power connector built in so no power adapter is need. Koop "John Smith" wrote in message ... Thanks,

This is unbelievable. IMO, Avoid Circuit City at all costs after what they just pulled on me. I went in on Monday to buy an HP Notebook model ZX5160. They were offering an additional $250 off and with a $100 rebate the price was $1199. I saw their model ZX5040US for $199 after rebates. That has a...

Can't get the soundstorm audio to work with win98se. I had an old win98se install with older hardware when I installed the mobo, so I deleted the "enum" key in safe mode before the first win98se boot, then let win98 do it's thing to find all the new hardware, and np, all was found, but I get no...

here is a letter i wrote to a company that sold me an asus7v8x-x motherboard and an amd athlon xp 2600+ cpu .. does anyone have any answers to the problem? On September 13 I ordered an AMD Athlon XP 2600 CPU, Asus A7v8x-x motherboard, ATX Mid-Case with a 350-watt power supply and front...

Apparently, at CES 2015 MSI announced a Z97 motherboard with a USB Type C connector and demonstrated an X99 motherboard that implemented USB 3.1 through a Type A connector. The latter is reportedly planned to be available in mid-February. Would anyone care to venture an opinion as to when...

Hello all, searched around for the following problem in Google, yet was not able to find some good answers, so here I am (apologies in advance for the lengthy post). A couple of months ago I bought a brand new P4C800-E motherboard. Flashed the BIOS to the latest version (1.016 IIRC at the time)...

Hi I'm planning to upgrade to a 160GB HD however, I have read some info about recognition issues with MBs and XP. It appears that older MBs pre Jan 1st 2003 do not have support for 48-bit LBA. XP will only read 137GB, no more. To be honest I cant remember when I bought mine but according to a...

My esata port works great with my 1tb drives but will only show my 2tb drive when the drive is powered up at boot. The 1tb drives can be turned off without a problem. If I boot with the 2tb powered it will show but if I turn it off then back on it will not. It is not an enclosure problem as I have...
