I have a P4 3.06 based system with an ASUS P4T533c, gig of ram, AIW 8500 DV, Audigy 2, etc, etc. This morning, the system just froze up -- no errors, no BSOD (winxp pro) -- just froze with the sound in mid note, video stopped moving (was playing Rise of Nations at the time), no mouse or...

IntelConvert, Thanks for the info on the Iwill, but I'm kinda liking USB2.0 (a printer I'm looking at supports it). I currently run a Promise Fastrak TX4 (four channel RAID card) -- can the Gigabyte RAID be disabled? Thanks,

VSEKH -- ASUS's website makes me believe the P4T533-C is picky when it comes to memory -- is this indeed the case? I've also noted that Kingston has a part number specifically for this board -- did you stick with the recommended memory? (I've got a couple of 1066 RDIMMS that I'd like to use...

I'm looking to upgrade my system to a P4 (533FSB w/ 1066 RDRAM) and want to know the best 850E motherboard out there (RAID not needed, LAN and sound is). Stability is an issue, overclocking really isn't. I'm planning on loading it with 1GB of RDRAM, if the mobo is finicky about the type/brand...

Hip, Hip Hooooraaayyy:D

Den, No, I haven't ordered -- and now that I see jbond04 is going for it, I'll let him be the guinea pig :D

Acanthus, Mushkin is the first place I looked but I don't see it on their site -- how do you get it?

gsethi, Kingston PC1066 RDRAM is available at a number of online places, I just assumed that others were as well. Maybe I'm going to be a guinea pig...

I'm thinking about getting the P4T533-c but noticed on that the Asus website says the board is only qualified with Samsung 1066-35 rdram (MR16R0828BN1-CM9). Does anyone have experience with other memory in the board? Thanks

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm not an open the PS type of guy so I'll probably go with the quietPC PS -- they look pretty good (at least on the website). Pheran (or anyone else) -- have you ever directly compared them to PC Power's Silencer? I couldn't find a dBA rating for the quietpc on...

I currently have a P3 system (512MB RAM) with (4) striped IDE HD's (plus zip, CDRW and an All-in-Wonder Radeon) in a SuperMicro SC750a tower case. I've had to move the computer into the bedroom and need a quieter PS than the Sparkle FSP300-60GT that came in the case. Since I'm also thinking...

Hopefully someone here can give me an idea what has gone wrong. I just flashed an Asus P3V4X from version 1001 to 1005 successfully. I received the standard "You have flashed the EPROM, turn off the power, go to SETUP, Enter BIOS defaults..." message indicating that everything went...
