Thanks, but that was the first thing I tried, with the latest version as well as that one on the CD, still no joy. But thanks for the suggestion. Koop "flaco337" wrote in message ... "Jeff Fish" wrote in...

My 40Gig Hard Drive has filled up fast taking pictures of my new granddaughter, so I ordered a Western Digital Caviar WD1600JB 160GB Hard Drive . Got a good deal on it from TigerDirect $89.99 after rebate! Or was it a good deal??? After readind how to install literature on the web, sounds like...

I'm building a new Socket A system with an nVidia Nforce2 chipset and DDR400 or DDR400-2 memory for use with Win98SE. I've been looking at Athlon XP 3200+ vs. Sempron 3300+ Socket A CPUs. The Athlon XP has 512 cache vs. 256 with the Sempron. Also the Athlon runs at 400MHz Vs, 333MHz for the...

Hi all - A7N8X Deluxe 1.04 mobo acting up again.. I was playing with a couple of bios settings this morning, this after about a week of good uptime after my last problem on New Years Day (bad BIOS flash), trying to get my machine to O/c to 200 FSB, and all of a sudden the machine just wouldn't...

Received new A7N8X Deluxe & XP2600 333 last week. Installed using old 400 watt HD, 2 x Kingston 256\pc2100 ram on 1&3, Gainward GeForce3 Ti450 Golden Sample. Machine runs great. Boot shows memory dual at 133, front FSB set for 333(ext freq 166). Can this rig be OC'd? I'm using the gimpy looking...

One of my systems has gotten too slow to run antivirus and do anything else. Since the max memory on that board is 512K, and the CPU is 800 MHz, I guess it's time to upgrade. I already have an Antec 900 case and a Thermaltake TR2 RX 500W ATX 2.2 power supply which should be reusable. The current...

I'm about to upgrade my CPU to a Q9550 and want to buy another cooler for the cpu, I want to be able to have the option so that when pc is idling the fan will slow down to cut noise yet when i do heavy intensive cpu work it will of course spin up to a higher rpm. I'm unsure how this works though...

I'm building my own PC from scratch and hit a snag. I seem to have an incompatibility between my Asus P4C800 Deluxe motherboard and Asus V9280/TD Ti4200 8X (64 mb) AGP Video card. Or possibly a dead AGP slot, or a dead video card or a jumper or voltage setting I haven't set correctly. The Asus...

Is there a reason you want to forego the use of IDE altogether? I would think that having your CD-RW on the IDE controller separate from the SATA controller would provide performance superior to that of adding an IDE device as a slave on an SATA controller, is that an incorrect...

Hi, I've got a P4P800 Deluxe running well now with 4 HDs including a RAID Mirror for data only. I'm building another system, a SFF box, into which I'm going to put some older components, to try to learn about Linux, which is not the point of this post! I decided to take this opportunity to swap...

I have been accustomed to using Asus boards in small servers and workstations but notice the newer boards (P4P800, P4PE, P4C800) are impossible to deal with when using anything past Redhat Linux 9 and Fedora. Although I have been able to get most of the new boards working with work arounds, the...

Well I have made my purchase, and the winner is... Asus A7N8X Deluxe ver2.00 for $119. I want to thank all of you for your input. I greatly appreciate all the insight I took from your responses. "Shap" wrote in message ...

Here's my story, you draw your own conclusion. I just installed this motherboard about a week ago. One of its selling points was onboard Firewire. I have more Firewire peripherals than most PC users, including an 80GB hard drive, DVDRAM/-R, Canon ZR10 mini-DV cam, and Apple 30GB Ipod. All these...

Here is a curious story. The mobo is an ASUS P6T-Deluxe v2 with an i7_920 processor and 3x 2GB oF RAM running at 1,6GHz. Over the past 4 years, a strange problem had occured that has also been described by others: When starting the computer "cold", all 6 GB of RAM were detected. When rebooting...

I have an ASUS M3A mainboard with two 750 GB hard drives. Both are nearly full so I'd like to add a third, larger hard drive, probably a 3 TB drive since they have become fairly affordable at $150 for an internal one. Are there any negatives associated with adding a third drive to this...

Does anyone know what mainboard is used in the ASUS desktop series M32AD?

I'm stuck between one of these mainboards right now and apart from 2 LAN's, 2 extra SATA 6 ports there does not seem to be much between them. However there is one issue i'm unsure off and how it could effect me in the future and it's to do with using onboard video from the CPU (still don't know...

Mark_Venture typed: So, what do you think? Why not giving AMD a chance and upgrading your second system with a shiny A7N8X with an Athlon XP 2800+? I am sure you won't regret this decision. Bye. --

On the ASUS website, there's a PSU calculator, but it doesn't work. It always recommends 0 watts when I select all the options describing my cpu, number of drives, etc. http://support.asus.com/PowerSupplyCalculator/PSCalculator.aspx?SLanguage=en-us Is there another utility on the WEB to calculate...
