[qcurrently the best DEAL or best BUY for this mobo is Geil Ultra Platinum PC4000 for overclocking (2x512mb). For non overclocked speeds it's the OCZ Gold PC3700. The best for overclocking price no issue is the OCZ PC4000. I assume it's the "Gold" as well, but the review said "Copper" and...

Now about the new Raptor........ &^%#!*&$!!!! :| :| :| I should have known as soon as I got my WD360GD they'd have a better one blowing it away! No, I haven't installed it yet, I can't even make my mind up on a mobo. So..anyone want to buy a WD360GD Raptor? ;) Vortexted You're saying you...

You should read this. It's the best OS/software installation guide I've seen. Explains the order in which you should install everything. Actually I did read that thread and have it printed out. Some things in that is what confused me more, such as installing the intel drivers, and not from...

I'm having some real problems with getting my hard drives to work. I can really use some help on this one. I tried installing 2 IDE ATA drives on the primary IDE controller, and a CD rom on the 2nd IDE controller. Setting 1 to master, 1 to slave, let bios auto detect. Most of the time the bios...

I would love your oppinions concerning the HDD's, I'm not sure which of the two to go with, I'm seeing some pretty close benchmarks between the Caviar's and the Raptor's but would love to have the extra space the Caviar's provide as long as they truly are about as fast as the Raptor's. The...

vortexted, where is the link for the article? ;) (I can't tell if you answered your own question about the BIOS update, or if you are quoting someone else. If that text is from someone else, you need to "quote" it, or at least put it in italics or something like that. If you're asking.....I...

I was having similiar problems when I first put my -E dlx board together. I was using an Enermax -e 431w ps and it wasnt to happy with the new asus board at all. After changing out to a 450W ps the blue screen page_fault erros and such went away. That was another 12 hour night of insanity...

What is this 3com LOM your referring to? Is this related to the intregrated Lan? I did notice some drivers on the Asus disc that said 3com... do I need to install those? I did not see anything in the book about it. BTW, I have the E-dlx board. I have the latest bios 1011 installed. TY

In my case with the (Asus P4C800-E Deluxe) you dont need a floppy to flash the bios, mine came with an update program in the box. Its a CD program that has an update feature, you install the feature then you flash the bios from a download site that it even picks for you automatically. Just...

Take a look at this guide. Lot of information about bios and settings. WOW! Thanks for that little treasure. I've wondered what 1/2 those settings in the bios do for many years :)
