    Upgrading from AMD 3200+ to X2 4200

    I've got an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor in my ASUS A8V Deluxe mobo. I just bought a retail X2 4200 processor and I want to swap them out. From what I understand it won't take a OS reinstall but what do I need to do to be sure it recognizes it / runs properly? Thanks in advance, Rob

    USB 2.0 speed is way off on my computer

    I don't get why nVidia would have anything to do with this board. It uses the VIA K8T800Pro and VIA VT8237 chipsets. Could someone explain how this works? Asus A8V Deluxe Specifications Thanks, Bob

    Damn, it didn't work for me. I went to my local Circuit City and CompUSA and both said they wouldn't match it because after the rebates it would be the same price. According to what I'm seeing in other posts I must not be convincing enough..............

    From the spec sheets the only difference seems to be the color. Unsure why the MSRP of the z3 (woodgrain) is 99 and the other two are 79.
