    4870 bad driver install?

    I was able to get it to work after powering the lcd off and removing the plugs, then plugging everything back in. Obviously this isn't a fix but at least I know it works. So now I'm assuming a driver issue with vista 64? I'm going to try a different dvi cable as well. If that doesn't work I...

    4870 bad driver install?

    Yeah that could be it. Nvidia files are all removed now, reinstallled ati driver and blank screen. This is what I get for switching back to ati after all these years.

    *** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

    Thanks for the info N7. Ends up that a family member is looking for an upgrade, so I'm going to do a few minor upgrades to my own system. They will end up with a much better system and I'll get some new stuff to play with. Not a huge upgrade, but it should be decent. Going to replace my cpu...

    *** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

    Back with two questions- Anyone here have an E8400 running on their P5B Deluxe? Looking for some direction with oc'ing. I know my oc settings for a E6400, but I haven't been able to find a guide on where to start with these newer cpus. I also want to pick up a 2x2gb set that would be good...

    To upgrade or not to upgrade

    I have an E6400 @ 3.4ghz I'm thinking about an E8400. On sale for $142.49 would be a nice upgrade I think. I can OC it, less heat, and less power.

    *** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

    Been looking up parts for a machine I'm building for a friend and now I'm thinking if it's worth getting anything for my own rig. I'm going to put 2 gig of my Super Talent ram into his budget build and get myself an upgrade. I currently have 4x1gb Super Talent ddr 800 in my rig. Would some...
