I am building a HTPC and want to use an ASUS board. What are your recommendations for a microATX board? I would like onboard video and 1394 Firewire connections if at all possible, at least the latter. Thanks! TMG

I have 2 sticks of Kingston KVR1066X18-8/256 RDRAM in my ASUS P4T533C. I believe that these are 16-bit ECC 184 pin modules. I would like to add another 512MB of memory but I have a few questions first. Can I mix non-ECC memory with the Kingston ECC? What is the equivalent Samsung module? I think...

There is a new beta BIOS out for the KV8 SE Deluxe. Has anyone tried it? I don't like to the be the guinea pig, so I always wait to hear what the results of other people's testing come out.

Hello, i've set wake up on every day in the bios. But the board won't wake up. Why not? Power is still connected.

Hi, I don't find any certified-by-Asus 1GB-RAM modules for the A8V. Didn't they test their max. RAM configuration? Does the "remap over 4GB RAM" BIOS option work? I.e., are the full 4GB available for the OS: 3.xx RAM, then some reserved space for PCI-mapping, then 4GB-3.xxGB rest on top of the 4GB...

Anyone found a UK supplier of the above please? My A8V MB supplier, Overclockers UK, doesn't sell them nor know of a supplier. Asus doesn't reply to emails - poor - so I'm stuffed at present! I've got a fax message modem and UPS both needing serial com ports. Thanks. John

Hi all. I have a computer with an Asus a7v133 motherboard. Now I have bought a 3Com 11g Wireless to connect to ADSL and 2 wireless devices for connecting to the router, an internal Wireless Turbo PCI US Robotics and a USB wireless D-Link Airplus DWL-G122. I have installed the 2 devices correctly...

I am lookin at the A7N8X-E MB for a HTPC. Any ideas or thoughts or alternate recommendations??? Thanks! TMG

How do I set the bios for Kingston HyperX, 3500, CAS2? This is NOT the new 3500A with 2.5 cas! It seems to me you set it on this a7n8x from the bottom up--like 2-2-2-7--with 7 being on the top. I'm using a mobile Athlon 2500, Barton core. Right now, I've got it at 2-2-2-7 with fsb at 208 & mult...

Don't know what's to do! After one, two or more hours (there's no special action or time) the screen is freezing, no mouse movement is possible no CTRL-ALT-DEL. Only RESET! I did MEMTEST 86.

I purchased a ASUS K8V-X from eBuyer.co.uk last week, and have put together my own system. The graphics card is an XFX GeForce FX5200 256MB DDR. For some reason, when powering on the computer the fan/processor kicks in (as do the various lights etc), but nothing is output to the monitor. I know the...

Hello all. I am the not too proud owner of a K8N-E Deluxe and today I have realized that my motherboard is supplying 1.55v to the CPU as reported by the nvidia system utility (it is set to auto in the BIOS). The CPU in question is an Athlon64 2800+ Clawhammer. Am I right to assume that that...

This is making me crazy! Problem: Play any DVD with digital audio encoding and the digital audio is passed through to my speakers without being decoded. (there is no analog output at all when a DVD is played !?) This used to work - I'm not sure what screwed it up. Drivers: Asus Nforce 1.16 (...

Hi Ich wollte mich mal nach der Kompatibilität der AMD CPUs erkunden. Mein Board, ein ASUS A7V333 unterstützt in der REV 1.02 unter anderem den Athlon XP 2600+(266FSB)(Model 8)(Thoroughbred). Jetzt habe ich aber Schwierigkeiten diesen Prozessor zu bekommen. Kann ich andere Modelle nehmen die...

hi! I've got a little problem with the underground 2. It's freeze for 4-5 seconds when I came out from a shop or I start a race. I try to change the videocard, the memory, the windows, but it doesn't work. I've got an ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard, and I think, this is the bad hardware. My...

Hi, I've got P3B-F MB that I'm thinking of turning into a file server (Linux + Samba). How can I find out how big a hard drive I can put on this board? The manual doesn't say anything about maximum disk size. I'm hoping to be be able to use a 160G drive. TIA - icebiker

i accidentally bought an EPS 24 pin power supply and i have an ASUS A8V Deluxe, is there anything i can do to convert the 24 pin to 20 pin ? or do i just need a new power supply ?

Hi all, My new system has been working OK for the last 2 days, although it took some effort and several BSODs with Bug Check 0x8E to get to that point. Today I added a second CD drive as a slave to the secondary IDE where there was already a DVD RW drive. I put an audio CD into the latter and ran...

Perhaps someone could try to answer a few questions. I have an Asus P4T533C MB with an Intel P4 2.26 and 512MB of PC1066 RDRAM and the latest BIOS. I am considering upgrading to an Intel P4 3.06 and adding another 512MB of RDRAM. Do you think that the upgrade is worth $400 or should I just get a...

I am upgrading my system and plan on replacing my SCSI drives with SATA but will only do 1 drive in the beginning, later on I will add a second and do a RAID 1, will I have any trouble doing this? Thanks
