    USB problems with Jetway 845CA

    A friend of mine just bought this board as a replacement for a fried eMachines he has. I've put in the board and everything seems fine, but it will not detect USB devices. The OS is WinXP with SP2, and the mobo website says that USB support should be installed when the service pack is...

    am I being too elitist, and is CSA worth it

    Oh I see, I didn't even consider that part above, my apologies. Yeah, if getting that off the PCI bus is important, I'd go with that one.

    Confused about the Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI

    I was hoping someone could shed some light on this for me. I read a review at HardOCP the other day of the Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI board. It looks really impressive and would be perfect for my new system I'm planning. I'm wanting to go A64 again and NForce 4. The review states in several...

    am I being too elitist, and is CSA worth it

    That's cool. More than I would spend, but if you're comfortable with that, go for it. I'm not an OC'er either. I have no desire to do that. My board works flawlessly, and to be very honest, was the simplest board I've *ever* installed, and I've been building systems for 8 years. I never...

    am I being too elitist, and is CSA worth it

    You know, if you're looking for S478, go cheap. The prices are coming down due to Socket T taking over, and there's no sense in spending $100 on out-of-date technology. I have an AOpen MX4SG-4DL with the Intel i865 chipset. It's got Gigabit LAN and SATA, plus all kinds of other goodies. I...

    Intel system questions

    Hiya, I just built a system with a Celeron D 325 and an AOpen MX4SG-4DL board with the Intel i865 chipset. I'm normally an AMD boy, but I got excited about the Celly D's. My last system was a Celeron 2.6GHz on a MSI 655 Max board, and it was very stable, very clean and smooth running. My...

    AOpen MX4SG-4DL mobo ?'s

    That's pretty much what I thought about the upgrading. I really wanted to try PCI Express for video, but I really haven't heard anything that impressive about it yet. I guess I'll wait for 2.0 to come out :) Yeah, my celly seems to be running fine and not overheating. I wasn't sure if it...

    AOpen MX4SG-4DL mobo ?'s

    I just built myself a new system, and it's my 2nd Intel build ever. I've been a big fan of AMD for nearly a decade, but the Celeron D's had me intrigued. Basically a somewhat watered-down version of the 533 FSB P4's from a few years ago, but half the price. I bought a Celeron D 325 for Socket...

    Problems with new system

    Ok, i"ll try that. Yeah, this isn't meant to be a performance machine. It's just going to be mostly used for server apps. Does the Celeron 2.0 GHz have problems that I'm unaware of?

    Problems with new system

    I just checked that, and it doesn't seem to affect it.

    Problems with new system

    Hi. I'm building a new system for myself, and I'm using a Gigabyte 8I845GVM-RZ socket 478 motherboard with a Northwood Celeron 2.0 GHz processor. I've built a few systems before and never encountered this before. I got it all together and booted it up, and everything turns on but then the...
