so it stopped happenning for a few days but i wasn't doing much with it. but it's back again today, and I notice that it happens when i'm burning a dvd while doing other stuff at the same time. i'm not sure if i've got the nforce firewall up or not, how can i tell?

I've ran the memtest for 16+ hours, no errors. I think my bios versioin 1009 is the latest for the A8N-SLI premium, the latest one listed on Asus website is still a beta I think, so I'll stick with this one for now. I've checked my cpu temperatures, and it's running around 27C, the MB is...

No EAX, I have a old SB extingy external USB sounds card i'm using. Where can I find a link to how to run memtest? If it's faulty ram, hopefully newegg will take it back.

I installed the old Etherfast LAN card, then realize that the motherboard has its own, so now I'm using the one on the MB. The harddrive is SATA, and the 3 optical drives are set as primary master, primary slave, and secondary master. At first I thought maybe it's something about the optical...

Thanks to those who help me pick parts for my system last week. I put it together this weekend and am running win2k pro on it with the latest service pack 4. System consists of: Asus A8N-SLI Premium Bios 1009 AMD Athlon 64 3200+ eVGA 6600GT pci-e 16x 1GB corsair XMS DDR400 WD800JD 80GB...

I ended up with the Asus Sli Premium. I thought about all those other boards the A8N-e, the Epox ultra, the DFI Lanparty, and the MSI and ended up with the Asus SLI Premium. They are all good boards, and they all seem to have some flaws, so I picked the brand that I had previously. I'm...

I just placed my order. Hopefully everything will arrive on Friday. I did go to with 18N Premium instead of the deluxe plus all the other original choices. Going to set it up first with 1GB memory, maybe when the price drop to get the other gig. Thank you all for your help!

Can anyone recommend a good NON-SLI motherboard? I'm not going to OC either, just looking for a reliable system good for multitasking (ie, burning dvd while surfing the web, and editing pictures for printing, and playign mp3 all at once)? My other selections are AMD Athlon 64 3200+...

Do you mean I should stick with the Asus, and preferably the Premium rather than the Deluxe? Is there another good/reliable non SLI board that would work with my setup, I really want to see if I could keep the cost down, considering I won't really benefit from the SLI anyway.

Is this USB problem only attributed to if you have AMD dual core processor? I'm trying to put the following together, not planning to do SLI or overclocking, but I am looking for a fast system for multitasking. My old Athlon XP has been sluggish this last year when i try to burn dvd and surf...

hmm, i just read the Anadtech "nForce4 Ultra Roundup: Charting the Mainstream" from last July, and they gave the Epox 9NPA+ Ultra Gold Editor Award, since I'm not planning to do SLI or overclocking, would you say the epox will work fine for my setup? It is $60 less than the Asus A8N SLI...

Another question, what's the difference between the A8N SLI Deluxe and the SLI Prevmium? What one is the better choice?

hmm on second thought maybe i'll stick with the SLI Deluxe since I really must order tonight. Put it together with what I originally started with and see if I need more memory. I'm sure as long as it works it'll be a HUGE improvement over my old Athlon XP, and I won't notice the difference...

Hmm just realize I can't do 64 X2, it's out of my price range. Here is my new questions, should I just get the following instead of my original picks. AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 939 socket Asus A8N-E eVGA 6600GT PCI express x16 2X Corsair XMS twin 512MB DDR400 (2GB total) WD WD800JD...

Thank you guys this is great information. I am going to order TONIGHT! This is mostly used for web surfing, some photo editing, ripping music burning dvd, and maybe once in a while a game of WarCraft or Sims. Someone had suggested that I look into the Asus A8N-E and use the money to...
