    P5K-E WiFi AP USB 2.0 Ports

    What else do you have plugged into the back USB ports? I know on my last mobo, depending on what port I had something plugged into, it would sometimes fail to work properly or even be recognized. Have you tried all the back ports to see if any of them do run at the expected USB 2.0? It's...

    P5K-E WiFi AP USB 2.0 Ports

    shamans was correct about the source of the choppy audio issue. The ASUS site doesn't have the most recent driver. In fact it's almost a year old. I went directly to the JMicron site http://www.jmicron.com/Driver.htm and downloaded and installed the current XP version...

    P5K-E WiFi AP USB 2.0 Ports

    I think I am 2 BIOS releases behind but the ASUS site indicates the recent updates are for CPU support and some minor memory adjustments. I am a little nervous about updating BIOS after reading some others who bricked their mobo's using the Windows updater. I am not using eSATA at all...

    P5K-E WiFi AP USB 2.0 Ports

    Don't mean to hijack the thread but, is your sound working ok? I just finished building a new machine with a PK5-E and the on board sound plays for about 10 seconds and then gets choppy. Have you experienced this? BTW, I plugged a scanner, inkjet printer, wireless mouse, wireless keyboard...

    Asrock Dual-VSTA no video issue

    Thanks for your suggestion. Shorting out on the case was the only other thing I could imagine and that was my next (and really final) test. Before I did that though I tried moving memory sticks around "one last time" and magically it posts with one or both sticks in the black slots. So I...

    Asrock Dual-VSTA no video issue

    The issue is that there is no video upon boot. CPU fan, video fan, hard drive and cd rom all spin up during power up. I have tried 2 different AGP cards (both known to be working) and 3 different monitors ( all known to be working). I plugged in a set of powered speakers into the front speaker...

    Conroe e63/400 vs AMD x2 4400+

    I just picked up the X2 4400+ ADV4400CDBOX (as opposed to the ADA4400CDBOX). I spent a bit more on the 4400 vs the 4200 mostly because I expect the extra cache will help with the video rendering I do and I thought it had a piped heatsink(could've saved $40-$50 in a better heatsink). Turns out...

    Quick and dirty A64 clocking guide **UPDATE** X2 OC information!

    I believe the max memory setting AND the cpu multiplier work together. So to say that setting your max mem to 333 means a 5:6 (or 400 * 0.833) ratio based on 333/400 is a bit of an over simplification. I believe the formula is actually Round(CPU Multiplier / (Max Mem/400),0) So for...

    Getting RAID-1 working on ASUS A8N-SLI mobo

    Turns out flashing to BIOS 1003 allowed the CD drive to boot even with the 2 IDE drives installed. It also appears to upgrade the NVIDIA RAID controller from 4.76 to 4.78. Anyway it works now. Hope this note helps anyone trying to get this working. John

    A8N-SLI overclocking guide?

    Wow I didn't even notice that! I told you I was a noob. I did find that it happens on cold boots. If I hit reset instead of F1 it does load the OC settings. Resetting does the same thing I guess as saving the BIOS settings but is a little faster and is a "wife friendly" solution :) John
