Thanks for the help. I guess I do worry too much, especially when people post about constant BSODs and lockups. I absolutely hate those, havent had one in years, and dont want to have them with my new PC. Also, you said "I just uninstalled the Firewall and every thing seems to work OK." How did...

When does it ask this?

I'm getting my PC with Asus a8n-e motherboard tomorrow and 3700 San Diego. I had some questions about the built-in Nvidia firewall with this board. 1. Is the firewall enabled by default? 2. How can I disable the nvidia firewall safely (I have a router that i'd prefer to use)? 3. Does the...

I also need to figure out how to safely get rid of the stupid nvidia forceware firewall. I hear its more trouble than protection. Is it enabled by default?

Yep, the wonders of pdf :P.

I was reading my manual and it suggests using something called awdflash or ezflash. Which would you guys recommend.

Well, ive downloaded the bin file from the asus site, but theres no readme or manual. what next?

I know I'm a noob, but does anybody have a bios flashing guide that i could follow? The safe way...

How will I know if the mobo is detecting the San Diego or not? Will it just not boot properly, or will it run at lower performance (ie 512 L2 Cache).

Is there any validity to his statement? I'm also getting this combo on saturday....

Newegg has the Antec Sonata case for $89.00. That is one of the quietest, if not the quietest case for mainstream computing. I'd highly recommend it. I got the Sonata II, a bit more expensive, but my version comes with a 450W PSU. I see you will be replacing the PSU anyhow, so you might as well...

I would suggest changing your boot order to boot from your windows cd. Then run the repair option from the cd.
