    How are the IGP/HDMI boards?

    Get a life! And what is this crap about the UN in your signature? Get a board run a few aps under vista, record a couple of simultaneus TV shows, and try to use the machine at the same time. The 890g lags under slight usage with 2gb and Vista. It is so on topic as can be, even though such...

    How are the IGP/HDMI boards?

    Funny, but MCE2005 needs a Sempron to run at 2.1GHz to run. s754. That is with no headroom at all. High def video kind of requires 2.4GHz x2 cpu with the integrated GFX to run. If you believe them people who made the hard stuff. Keep in mind that I never told you XP sucked with 1gb.

    How are the IGP/HDMI boards?

    Let us get back to topic. If you do not know how lack of RAM slows a system down, you really need to learn the basics of computers. Such education do not belong in this thread.

    How are the IGP/HDMI boards?

    There is no problem at all. This is what Vista uses if it got the resourses at hand. I have used a HTPC for months with a 690G with 2gb, sure it works, like XP with 512MB RAM. Adding 2gb more, was a great improvment. And yes, memory usage increased. Nothing wrong with the rig. I have...

    How are the IGP/HDMI boards?

    fu?#!h&{! BS. I would have used Gigabyte if the boards worked, but they do not. Gigabyte has posted a BIOS that seems to fix the 4GB issue, but not the 8gb issue. For most users, this puts Gigabyte back in the game. MSI got the 4gb issue too: MSI K9AGM2. Even Asus got it. The list is...

    How are the IGP/HDMI boards?

    From Vista 64bit. System monitor. I did not know that was from hell. I thought we were talking about Vista, and not the Devil. Anyway: My 8GB Vista 64bit reports on RAM: Total 7678MB buffered 3625MB Free 2976MB Used: 1.49GB Used pagefile: 1402MB numbers do not dance MY 4GB Vista...

    How are the IGP/HDMI boards?

    Paging bamboo: My 8GB Vista 64bit is using 1.47GB with only Opera running. 1.5GB is not even enough to use one simple browser, not to mention video. Unless you love them page misses, and the use of that harddrive paging, 1.5GB RAM is just way too little. 2gb gives you hardly any...

    How are the IGP/HDMI boards?

    A HTPC should be as powerfull as possible. Running 2gb works fine with MCE 2005, but you need 4gb for a HTPC and Vista. Unless you prefere a lot of harddrive pageing, that is. Buying a broken board is not a wise move either. Both Vista and Linux have trouble with 690G if you use 4gb.

    Odd Vista 64 4 gig problem

    Have you tried MSconfig? terminal->msconfig->boot tab->advanced options Manually set cpus and max mem. There is many a good advice in this thread, but I belive no one has mentioned to lower the ram speed a notch.

    Which board?

    I really hope these new Nvidia chips will give AMD competition. Are you using XP or Vista, and have you tried 4gb ram? There has been some posetive power consumption reports on riggs using these. How hot is the chipsett and the heatsink? It has been a while since i tried ABIT. Is the...

    How are the IGP/HDMI boards?

    All Gigabyte 690G have HUGE flaw, as they do not support 4gb ram properly under Vista 64-bit, and you can forget about 8gb.

    Which budget AM2 MB is best with on board graphic?

    This is board to get. It is the only 690g board known to support 4gb under Vista 64bit. It can even run 8gb with msconfig hack.

    Which budget AM2 MB is best with on board graphic?

    Just wait till you try 4gb or 8gb RAM and Vista 64bit. Not such a great board then.

    AMD 690G warning

    690G boards are having huge problems with Vista64bit and 4gb ram or more. The only board that do work is MSI K9AG NEO2-Digital It works with 4gb with no hack at all, and 8gb with the msconfig hack. I have personally tested both Gigabyte MBs, a ASUS MB (the two models are pretty much...
