I guess that is spam then. In my defense though, when I signed up to yuwie, I went to www.yuwie.com. It told me that I wasn't signing up underneath anyone and asked me if I was sure that I wanted to do this. I then looked around until I found somebody to sign up under and did just that. I...

Lol! The intent was not to spam... but I won't post anymore cause I hate spam too. I guess this last post of mine could be spam so I'll just shut up now!

If you like to read about what's happening in the social networking world, there's a cool blog that you can read here: http://mashable.com/

Has anyone heard of this new social networking site? It seems like all the big companies now want a piece of the pie, after seeing how much cash Facebook and Myspace are making. I just read that yahoo has a new one coming along called Masher... So I checked out this yuwie site, and the cool...

Another thing to consider is a lot of hi-fi headphones have too large of an impedance to be properly driven by puny portable music players like the ipod. For example, the Sennheiser HD555 are awesome headphones, but their full potential is only realized once you couple them with a headphone...

From what I got from my own frenzied research, here are the pro's and con's of open and closed headphones (I'm not sure what semi-open would be). open: If you want the best sound quality, get these. However, they do not provide any sound isolation (you can hear everything around you), so if...

It's now been a week since I've set the SATA2 mode to IDE, and have since had a perfectly stable system. No crashes, freezes, hangs, boot problems or anything. Two days ago, I decided that the system was stable enough to overclock. I've since been running my X2 3800 at 2.5Ghz, using stock...

Hi Designit, I appreciate your efforts in trying to help me. Regarding my drive, I know for a fact that it is SATAI not SATAII. If you don't believe me, check out this link: http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/dis...es/marketing/detail/0,1081,586,00.html . Obviously my drive doesn't...

I don't have a SATA 2 drive. I have a Seagate 7200.7 SATA1 drive. When I installed winXP, I had my drived plugged into the black SATA port on the motherboard. I tried different cables, and all the SATA connectors and still got the random freezes where it looks like the MB suddenly does not...

I don't know what I was talking about... All the connectors on the board are ATA133 (as far as I know of). Upon re-reading the manual, it seems like for some reason it's best to connect the optical drives the IDE2 and not IDE1. That's what I should of said! lol!

It is a possibility, but extremely unlikely for these reasons: 1) My first cable worked fine for a year and a half in my old motherboard (DFI lanparty UT). It didn't with the the asrock. 2) I switched to a different cable. It connects very tightly. It still didn't work properly in SATA...

The thing is that for me, the problems have nothing to do with the right windows drivers because sometimes the board woudn't even see the drive in the BIOS!

whoops, I meant IDE mode. Sorry!

Hi designit, Thanks for the suggestion. However, I had allready thought about that possibility, and tried out different SATA cables. Initially, I used the cables that I had with my previous motherboard (which worked just fine), and got the freezing problems. Then I tried the SATA cable...
