Thougths on ASUS P5K Deluxe MB for new system
I and a couple friends are looking to build a new system. We will run
Vista and were looking at the Bang for the Buck system on extremetech, http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...1825693,00.asp I am using a system not that was pretty much the previous BFTB system suggested by extremetech but their new one uses the Gigabyte mb and I'm sort of an ASUS fan. I use their suggestions as a starting point and make some changes here and there and in this case for sure the MB must be different, one of the friends needs firewire for example, none of us will ever need two video cards etc., so some changes. I would also use the E6850 Intel chip in my system, two 500 gig Sata III drives running Raid 0 and a third Sata drive for drive backup. Still not sure about going SATA on the CD/DVD burner yet but will have to look into that. My question is regarding the P5K MB and it seems there are some issues with the board so I'd love to hear from those who are using the board with success and what their configuration is and also those who have had problems with the board. A lot to ask but it sure would help and maybe will help many others who are also looking at a P35 based board. One onther point, I'm not sure I want or need DDR3 memory.. Thanks, Gene |
