Busy week. I finally got to it. USB 2.0 was enabled in the BIOS, but when I went into the device manager, it had a yellow question mark on the USB Controller section. I think it was there, but it seemed to be farther up on the list. Anyway, I went into the properties for it and it said the...

I got this http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811133008 Thermaltake case for them (it's the one they wanted), and according to the Egg, the front ports are USB 2.0. I know the stuff there isn't always 100% accurate, so I checked Thermaltake's site and they also say they are USB...

I just built a new computer for my parents, and they say that whenever they plug something into the USB ports, they get a message saying something to the effect that the device is plugged into a non-high speed port that can be updated to 2.0. I've looked all over the Asus site, and haven't been...

Thanks for the help, guys. I forgot that ATI has a chipset with integrated video, too. Here's what I'm doing, just got over here from purchasing everything at the 'Egg: Thermaltake Matrix VX VD3000BWA http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811133008 ASUS P5RD2-VM...

My parents anniversary (#31) is coming up at the end of the month, and I'm going to build them a new system, with monetary help from the siblings. They will use it for internet, bookkeeping programs for my dad's business, and the ocassional game. Not even Half-Life 1level games, just games like...

Just in time for my next build :)

Way off topic, but NumbLock, I just gotta say, your sig rules!

http://www.cooltechzone.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1463&Itemid=0 That was about 2 months ago with nVidia saying no to a 7800 AGP unless demand is there. So, like someone said already, the X850 XT-PE is probably the last hurrah for AGP.

I thought ATI didn't support PS 3.0 yet... or is that SM3.0... any difference? Anyone?
