Thanks guys. Old Hippie, You're saying I won't be able to get the 3.0gb/s transfer rate. How close should I expect to get? Bobby

I've got an ASUS A8V Deluxe Socket 939 motherboard that has 2 internal connectors for SATA and seemingly primarily for Raid purposes. I'm only using the IDEs for my drives but I'm interested in getting an external SATA drive because of the 3gb/s speed compared to the 480mb/s speed. Should I be...

I've got an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor in my ASUS A8V Deluxe mobo. I just bought a retail X2 4200 processor and I want to swap them out. From what I understand it won't take a OS reinstall but what do I need to do to be sure it recognizes it / runs properly? Thanks in advance, Rob

Quick question. I'm checking AMD 64 X2 processors and most of them are Socket AM2 and not 939. I only see 4400 and 4600's as 939. I am assuming my motherboard will not handle a AM2 socket and I'm only able to get the 4400 and 4600 Socket 939. Sorry, it was just Newegg.com that I made...

I don't get why nVidia would have anything to do with this board. It uses the VIA K8T800Pro and VIA VT8237 chipsets. Could someone explain how this works? Asus A8V Deluxe Specifications Thanks, Bob

Bump And I went into the setup during boot and double checked the USB settings and it is setup to HiSpeed, which for this mobo says it should be 480 mbps

Unfortunately, I've got no errors under DEVICE MANAGER > USB CONTROLLERS. I wish it was that simple.

I spoke a little too soon. I got home today and there was the $60 from Western Digital.

Got 3 separate emails. Each one a cancellation due to insufficient stock............................... Oh well

I had ordered 3 and the total was just over $16. I receved 3 email confirmations (3 separate order numbers) each was for 1 flashlight shipped at $5.45. It looks like their ordering system automatically separated it into 3 orders and applied the coupon code.......................... Crossing...
