It also depends on how many fans and HDD's and other things you have running all at once , I have a DVD Rom a DVD Burner 2 HDD's a power supplied Video card and 5 High quality fans , and I'm adding another HDD for Video recording. my power rails don't even flutter and I like it that way. =)...

You may want to look into upgrading your ram. I would use at least 3200. I'm using crucial ram and am having NO problems at all. but I do not overclock. =) Disclaimer: Some opnions may differ.

I wouldn't even attempt it. It MAY work , but it just is not worth the trouble if it doesn't , you'll be looking at everything else but the PSU for stuff like restarting , locking up , funky fan readings crap like that. If your gonna go with a powerfull board chip and Video card , you should...

Are you using XP sp-1? And I saw somewhere that USB devices may have some effect on an XP installation , If you have one or the other in USB , you could try a PS2 mouse or Keyboard just to get it installed and then switch back after. I also saw somewhere that some front panel USB hookups...

I believe they just flash the chip to whatever you want , you just tell the the make of you board and what BIOS you want and they flash a chip it and send it to you. All you have to do is remove the old BIOS chip and install the new one , I've actually bought and am using a thing called a BIOS...

#1 Rule: ALLWAYS have a Flopy disk that is DOS ready with A backup OF YOUR ORIGNAL bios!! AND allways try to flash from DOS , AND IF IT DOESN'T FLASH DON'T TURN OFF or RESTART , put you orignal disk in and run AFUDOS AGAIN. Even in a bad flash it will still stay in DOS till you restart. These...

I was gonna ask the same thing , Turbo mode does strange things to my windows....if I can even get windows to load in Turbo!! RMA is up to you , I would try to use an IDE as your main drive and your SATA/SATA's as backups , I do know however ALOT of people have problems with some types of ram...

Jules , Have you flashed with the new BIOS yet? Its a snap and it fixed alot of annoying probs with my board , I set my FSB to 220 last night and played DOD 1.2 all night long and the temp did not get over 120F with a stock cooler , and it was HOT here in Fla. last night! It would not do 220...

Got the 1003 for my K8V SE D/64 3200 last night , and it now goes into S3 (Standby) and wakes up without a hitch!! (no more black screen or annoying sound distortion after wake up from S3) NOW I have NOTHING wrong with my rig!!:D I says on the release notes "support for new CPUs/prosessers"...
