other question : I see on asus website that a bios update is required for sempron 3100+ 64. Will it boot with original bios ?

This is for a friend of mine, who just whants a cheap , but off course reliable machine, it has a SIS® 760GX chipset. Will this be reliable, will he have driver issues or lockups? experience with this would be highly appreciated. Performance is not essential

abd you also have an NF4 ? I wish I had BSODs , those can often be solved, mine just reboots without warning, no msg whatsoever ...

it's not an AMD64 problem , because I have collegues with an a64 , but those have VIA chipsets

First off all, this system has NEVER crashed before, which is quite exceptional for a windows system. It has had issues when enabling NCQ for a few minutes ( Maxline III) , which may be the cause. Anyway, I can install it, connect to the VPN gateway, give username/password, I receive the...

I think anyone would benefit from dual core. Especially people who don't know a lot about computers. She can have one core for windows + ALL the spyware , the other core for whatever she is running

I'd never buy a DFI for someone else, just get the basic ASUS A8N-E , it has a better and silent cooler then the other Asus NF4 versions. I'd get a sonata, an A64 4400+ (she'll enjoy that alot more then a GF7). IF you get that Maxline III, be shure to disable NCQ. I'd leave the stock cooler on...

concerning the sonata => Its power supply is sufficient for 1 GF6 and a venice Thermaltake => aren't they extremely discusting ? But the real reason for me posting here : I personnaly have some TCCD ram, and must say that in spite of the fact that people are saying often lately that...

nobody ?

I can't find any information about this on the internet, am I the only person with this problem? O just the only one using the nvraid for mirroring ?

yes, but I don't think that's the problem, it's the ghost that is used by our company all over the world to install Win2003 servers. My last test : installed a raid 1 , detached one of the disks(raid bios says, raid is "deteriorated" or something , installed the ghost , installed all the...

up :-(

This thing is supposed to be used as a J2EE server, we are required to put a win2003 ghost on it, which was already difficult (the manual explains what to do, apparently sata raid and ghost don't mach) , but that's solved. But now I see (tried it more then once) corrupt files after reboot, and...

if you consider me a troll, please explain why

yes, that was to disable the HT, to see what everybody already know. The idle state I just saw, ws no reboot, I think the farcy may have been stopped or crashed for a while. This explains AMD's advantage in the other benchmarks, and the lower amount of farcry runs (which was the other way around...
