    Problem with PC booting from cd on start up

    Your motherboard is one that does not display the "Press any key to boot from CD", as long as you have a bootable CD and your boot priority is set to CD, then your computer will automatically boot from CD. You're actually on the right track, the "Setup in inspecting your computers hardware...

    AM2 or 939?

    Right. Maybe my example wasn't so relevant to motherboards. But how about new features? HDMI? DDR3? Wireless USB? These might not seem like much right now, but when every new motherboard comes with these features, you might just begin to see where I'm going with this.

    If you go with AMD, don't bother with 939 anymore. Even though AM2 doesn't really provide much(if any at all) performance enhancement over 939 parts, the prices are virtually the same right now. 939 is nearing EOL, AM2 is the way to go if you decide to go AMD. Either way though, wait another 2...

    754 vs 939 i'm stuck

    I say hold out until at least Conroe comes out, you won't see much performance difference between 3200 754 and 3000 939.

    AM2 or 939?

    I tend to disagree, have you ran a Conroe-based system yourself? Just about any intensive application/game, you WILL see better performance with a Conroe compared to even a top of the line AM2. And btw, I base my opinion on first hand experience, not just what some benchmarks on some review site.

    AM2 or 939?

    Cause K8L isn't coming for maybe another year, and 12 months is nearly 2 full product cycles(read: around 2 generations of new chipsets). Putting a K8L into a current AM2 motherboard is equivalent to putting a Geforce 4 into a current AM2 motherboard(ok you can't, and maybe that's pushing it...

    Tired of worthless Capture devices

    I vote the Hauppauge also, I've owned their 150,250,500,USB2 tuners, and all of them delivered high image quality compared to other tuners on the market. Only complaint is that their drivers can sometimes be a *itch to install, but once you get it working, they work flawlessly.

    Seeking Advice on my First Build. (Gaming Rig)

    I say hold off for just 2 more weeks, as Intel's Conroe(Core 2 Duo) CPU's are coming out, and they're definitely worth the wait. Even if you don't buy them, all AMD CPU's still plunge in price in response to the Conroe release. You can find some sneak previews of the Conroe's online. My home...

    New system wont post... ugh.

    What he said. If that fails, use only 1 stick of ram, and try different slots.

    New system wont post... ugh.

    Make sure your CPU 12V power connector(4 pin) is plugged in.

    AM2 or 939?

    By the time K8L comes out, you wouldn't want to use the current generation of AM2 motherboards with that CPU.

    FSB:RAM ratio or higher timings?

    Unless you have memory like TCCD(DDR1) or equivalent high-clocking DDR2 memory, the 1:1 will only limit your CPU clock speed, which will DEFINITELY affect performance. My advice, run whatever divider you need to attain the as high as possible a clockspeed for your CPU, because that is what...

    System in safe mode? Gives me error msg.. Help!

    It has nothing to do with software/windows at all. The "safe mode" he speaks of is simply a feature on this Asus motherboard, which loads a previously working configuration to allow the system to boot up after a bad overclocking attempt. It is NOT the Window's Safe Mode that you're thinking of...

    Conroe X6800@3.52Ghz AIR

    I'm pretty sure the CPU is capable of MUCH more.. currently I seem to be limited by the motherboard.
