I think they are pretty much like the GX2 board but they have 128 MB for on boardd video memory vice the 64 the GX2 has

How about .. a 780G now .. cheapest 790 GX ... it ~ 10-15% faster video than the 780G ... if you have the money then a 3470 get a HD 4850 when you have enough money

Fyr's are a cheap local store. I like to buy my motherboard from local stores too so that I can take it back personally if there are problems. My last system I bought everything but the Motherboard on line. I live in California and they ding you for sales tax either via the internet or buying...

I've had no bad expereinces with my ASUS A8N-E, only good ... it's been rock solid and the NB chipset fan hasn't been a problem. I'd recommend the ASUS A8N-E as an ULTRA solution. ASUS web site is OK .. not the best .. but what exactly do you need a manufacturers website for .. updates right...

I got the Corsair RAM a couple weeks ago .. it is nice memory. DOn't expect a big OC, but will OC some. The meoory is fine at stock speed.

You're going from an Intel (probably Celeron) to an AMD .. the OS drivers are going to be different. 1) The best thing is to reinstall the OS. 2) If you can't afford to lose all that data, you can always get another HD and put OS oon it and keep pld HD and get the data of it 3) back EMAIL...

The NF7-S is an EXCELLENT board .. a classic .. great siund with Soundstorm and a a great OC'er. I have an ASUS and two ABIT's and an ECS board right now and I like the Abit NF7-S is very nice NF2 board.

The quickest thing would be to remove all the NVidia drivers and then swap out boards ... let the OS install new hardware ... or just put in new MB and then do a repair of windows..... or get a new hard drive and do a fresh install on it and you still have the data on the old HD. I just buolt...

Old systems go to family members or the school. Old components usally go in the closet for backups and repairs to systems that people ask for help with.

PC Power and cooling .. they are they kings of PSU, also top of the line are OCZ and the Fortron Blue Storm. I have the 470 watt PC P&Cooling .. the 510 watt PC P& Cooling is VERY good. They rate their PS's at 50 Deg C .. most other vendors rate theirs at 0 or 20 Deg

Thanks

My install went great. The NB fan is quiet and works fine. I guess that can always change .. but for now it works great and I can't hear it.

Mine works for me ... you got some other HDD wires to plug into the MB? maybe turn the plug in the other way.
