    IP35-Pro XE and hot swapping SATA drives

    I assume the ICH9R ports are the internal ones? What is AHCI mode and is it required for hotswapping ?

    Anyone know the difference between IP35-Pro and IP35-Pro XE ?

    Yes, meant Ghz. Bryan, thanks for the settings. If I can figure out where to change that stuff I might try it. If I want to go up a bit at a time should all those things be changed together or is one more important. Do I have to know what they mean/do? I have a P180 case with three antec...

    Anyone know the difference between IP35-Pro and IP35-Pro XE ?

    In case this will help anyone else, I did a build with the IP35-Pro XE and 4 gigs (2 x2GBs) ADATA 1.8v Ram, DDR-800 and a Q9450. And it works fine. There is only one version of the bios so nothing to change there. I don't know much about overclocking but I did turn the FSB to 400. So it...

    IP35-Pro XE and hot swapping SATA drives

    I built a new system with a IP35-Pro XE. I know it has two esata ports built into the rear and I could hot swap some external sata enclosure using those ports. However, I would like to buy a removable rack device to put into my case rather then having an external enclosure plugged into the...

    620HX and P180

    Should I install the 620HX fan side down or turn the power supply upside down so the fan points up ? I'm guessing upside down so the fan points up into the case because most cases would have the power supply at the top and have the fan pointing into the case?

    Basic (dumb?) question about firewire

    Thanks o1die, I missed the accessory bracket. jd, I liked the eSata being on the back panel. But I may get the IX38 instead because I think it has both the eSata and Firewire on the back panel.

    Basic (dumb?) question about firewire

    I'm leaning toward the IP35-Pro ($180 at newegg plus shipping) http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813127030 I need firewire and the specs say "onboard 1394 2x 1394a" but the rear panel ports don't include firewire ports. So where do I plug in my firewire cable??

    New board

    Can't run it because I didn't buy the board yet. Didn't buy the board because of all the reports of the DPC latency problems.

    New board

    We'll I finally decided on the Gigabyte GA-EX38-DS4 but I keep reading all the posts about the DPC latency problems and thought why start up with that. So what are people getting instead of the GA-EX38-DS4 ?

    Q9450 available anywhere?

    "I'm curious though, in your opinion, what is a "reasonable" markup percentage? Before factoring in any costs at all, just wholesale price. What, off the top of your head, would be a good percentage in your mind? " As NitroMullet suggested, your cost structure is not relevant to me...

    I got a Q9450 and nothing to put it in

    Does anyone know if the IP35 Pro will boot up with the Q9450 with the BIOS it gets shipped with these days? I don't have a spare CPU to put in if I have to update the bios to get it to boot with Q9450.

    I got a Q9450 and nothing to put it in

    Please help me pick a MB. The more SATA ports the better and I would like esata too (preferably not via bracket). The more USB the better. Need firewire. Won't use onboard RAID. Don't play games but do do video conversion. DDR2 memory. Don't overclock (much). Stability critical...
