Thank you dwaleke. I was using a S-ATA. I'll try P-ATA.

Did you install Vista Build 5308 off the DVD or from windows? Any special steps to install Vista on this motherboard?, because my installations keeps stalling.

hey nordicpc how did you get the dec ctp Vista working on this board? Did it just install booting off the DVD? After getting stuck on the loading screen after booting from the DVD, I tried installing Vista from XP and loading nVidia's 6150 graphics drivers for Vista build 5308, but the...

Has anyone installed Vista on this motherboard? I tried and when installing off the DVD, the screen goes blank right after the loading screen. Vista has fast standby recovery and it supports ATI's HDTV Wonder and Theater 550 This is the Feb. CTP Build 5308

I have a problem running two PCI TV tuners on this motherboard. I have an ATI HDTV Wonder and a Sapphire Theater 550 Pro and each one works individually on this motherboard, but when I try to boot with them both in the PCI slots, the computer wont boot (no video signal & no beep codes). I...

I prefer the silver colour instead of all black. I would've bought it if it was released a couple of months ago. I settled with the Antec 3000 B.

I have the Antec 3000 B which comes with one Antec Tricool 120. This fan is quieter than the Nexus 120 as can be heard from the sound files at the end of the review of the Antec 3000 B on SPCR. I'm disappointed with the buzzing noise of the Nexus 120. It's the loudest thing in my computer...

The silent Gigabyte X800 XL is twice the price of the 6600 GT MSI 6600 GT $225 Gigabyte X800 XL $449

X800 or 6800

I agree with Russian Sensation. It will be a 4-5 month wait. What's the big deal with Shader Model 3.0? Few games support it and it's barely even utilized. http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NjA5LDM= Yeah, Nvidia has newer technology, but I don't think that we'll see it being used...

Does anyone have the Gigabyte X800 XL? How hot does it get?

Anyone have the Antec SLK3000B case and the DFI Ultra-D? Any pictures? I'm thinking of getting the Gigabyte X800 XL w/heatpipe and the Thermalright XP-120, so they will be tight fits. I read that the tube on the 3000B doesn't line up with the CPU. How bad is it? Can the tube be modded?

Unfortunately, I can't take advantage of U.S. online stores like Newegg and ZipZoomFly, because they don't ship to Canada. Tigerdirect ships to Canada, but they don't carry Seasonic PSU's. I found the $153.58 (inc. S&H) price from a Canadian online store, Frontier PC I should e-mail all...

Hey wisdomtooth, $153.58 for the Seasonic S12-500 with a PCI-E power plug. Is the PCI-E plug worth $50? The Enermax is listed as being 80% efficient and I think the OCZ and Thermaltake are probably in the same range based on their good reviews.
