So I upgraded my Acer aspire 5100-5022, and now my keyboard and mouse wont work. When i boot my computer i get the following message " windows failed to start" then it asks me if i want to start in safe mode, safe mode with networking, etc. It then prompts me to wait 30 secs then boots...

I have decided that I "need" PCIe. I was thinking about just buying the ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe and being done with it, but are there any other alternatives? See, a 6600GT will cost me 240 bucks in AGP, but 185 bucks in PCIe, so I figure I could just buy a nicer and better board for the same amount...

Where is the best place to buy this motherboard? I decided to go with this one after thinking hard about AGP bs PCIe in the long run.

Ok I have ONE more question and then I am done, I promise:) I have been hearing nonstop from people that I should go with a PCIE board. Should I even bother? How much more will a decent quality PCIE board cost me? Is it worth it? Thanks again guys.

So I cant run 3 sticks of ram on a chaintech? And if I stick 4 of them in there it will clock the ram at 333? I dont think I am going to need more than 1G of PC400 ram anyways though....will I? Decisions, decisions.

Also, to show you all what PC I am going from: Epox 8kata+ pro Athlon 1700 512MB PC133 Kingston RAM GeForce2 MX400 64MB 80G HD I built that PC almost 4 years ago. Man I am so in need of an upgrade, lol.

I am putting my order in tomarrow! Yes! I am ordering the exact setup Anubis suggesting, with exception to the case. One more question: Is it worth the extra 15 bucks to go to an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ instead of the 2800+?

Wow, I think I am going to order exactly that. You guys are awesome. I just got saved from screwing myself. I just read several reviews on the Chaintech board and every single site said that it was a great board. Man now I am getting excited.

Damn, im glad I didnt submit it. Ok, I am redoing my order: Thanks for these tips guys.

Well I read up for a bit, and I came up with this for my PC on mwave. I am obsessed with MMORPGs, and I think the 9600XT will be able to handle it. I can go up to about 800 dollars total for a PC. Does this look good? Is this the best setup for the money...
