    Asus A8V Deluxe SATA problem

    I think I may have narrowed it down to a couple sources. Having read on other boards that some people were having problems with Maxtor drives in their K8V (which I would assume is a similar enough board to the A8V) I decided to try something. Basically, they would get the same message as I...

    Asus A8V Deluxe SATA problem

    I just put together a system with an Asus A8V, and after installing Win XP Pro, I'm getting a random error during bootup. These are the specs on my system: A8V Deluxe Athlon 64 3500+ 2x512 Corsair XMS GeForce 6800GT 1x74GB WD Raptor (SATA) 1x300GB Maxtor DiamondMax 10 (SATA) SB...

    Asus A8V Deluxe gurus - help with SATA drives

    I have two more questions, the first one concerning the WD Raptor. Is there a reason that WD's SATA cable connector covers the SATA power connector, forcing you to use a 4 pin molex? And would it be alright if I just used the SATA connector cables that came with my motherboard, and the...

    Asus A8V Deluxe gurus - help with SATA drives

    By the connectors "in back of the floppy" I assume you mean the black VIA connectors? And should I use the drivers on the Asus CD, or should I use the 3.10E drivers from viaarena.com? Thanks for the help!

    Oh, additionally, there's an exe in the VIA RAID folder on the disc named "Setup.exe". There's also a file in the same directory called "VIA Integrated Setup Wizard.msi" In the Promise / RAID folder, there's a file called "MakeDisk.exe", and there's another file named the same thing in the...

    Asus A8V Deluxe gurus - help with SATA drives

    There seems to be a common issue with the A8V Deluxe in that you must install drivers in order for the motherboard/OS to read SATA drives, due to SATA not being 'native' on the board. I am building an A8V-based system, including the following components: A64 3500+, Antec NeoPower 480W, 1x WD...

    Planning to build a computer....would it be dumb not to wait?

    HL2 should be out within a week. What would be the point of waiting until then, if you're not going to wait for the new stuff to come out? Might as well build a system now. :confused:

    Planning to build a computer....would it be dumb not to wait?

    How soon? I'm Jonesing for a new system. I'm running an ancient AMD K6-2 450 and would like to be able to play HL2 CLOSE to the time it comes out :p

    Planning to build a computer....would it be dumb not to wait?

    I'm contemplating either building an AMD 3500+ (939) system right now, or waiting until October for when the new nVidia chipset is supposed to come out, with its support for PCI-E video cards. The way I see it, the major pro of waiting is being able to buy a PCI-E GeForce 6800GT with SLI, so...

    I can't decide - socket 939 or 775?

    So will someone tell me why RAIDing two 74GB Raptors is a bad idea?

    I can't decide - socket 939 or 775?

    Money grows on trees, didn't you know? :p But yeah. I don't think I'd have too big a deal spending $459 if it gives me a year or so of play.
