Morning everyone I finished putting together my new computer last night, its my second attempt at a build. I installed Windows XP Pro and started on Drivers and updates. Driver order of installation is important, correct? I beleive I worked in the wrong order. After installing EVGA Drisplay...

SerbiaNem: That took me a minute... Pretty funny :D

Right on right on, thanks for the kind words everyone

How does the D: drive work? Can I go right into it as I would C:? Grab stuff off it and drag it to desktop? Could I just run everything on the Raptor while I get familiar with the system, then come in later and install the barracuda? Sorry the questions are a little basic, I appreciate the...

Hellooo everybody! Im setting up my new rig. Im going to be honest, im not very skilled with computers (this is a learning experience) I have an ASUS A8n-Sli Motherboard with a 320GB Seagate Barracude and 74GB Western Digital Raptor. I want to run my OS, games, main stuff on the Raptor. And...

I just ordered a Sapphire x1800xt 512mb and im anticipating it any day now. I spent many hours researching the card and various others and I have to agree it seems to be the best performance for price right now. I have been hearing its been discontinued. Not to any performance issues mind...

I am ordering a 300GB Seagate Barracuda for my second build. Im not terribly experienced, and would like some help sorting out what to do I found this article (http://boxgods.com/dept/software/index.php?Action=Article&ID=150) to be pretty helpful, and id like to try this: --Single PC, 2...

I am currently rebuilding my computer, there was a horrible disaster earlier this month and most everything died. (apparantly I forgot to plug in a certain power regulator on my motherboard :rolleyes: ) I currently have the Antec Truepower II 550...

Fixed link. Anybody got some advice?

I am having quite a time trying to figure this all out, perhaps some of you can give your opinions and shed some light on my situation. I am rebuilding my system, the specs are as follows... --Motherboard: ASUS A8n-Sli http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16813131540 --Case...

Thanks a lot guys I appreciate the support. Hopefully this build will be more successfull than the last. cwoZ92; The Shark is a great case. My previous build was my first, and putting it all together in such a large case was very nice. The Antec TPII has a million cords, the case has enough...

Its been a while coming, but I think ive got most everything figured out... Its kind of ramshackle the ways things came together, as this is kind of a ressurection. I already have... --Motherboard: ASUS A8n-Sli http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131540 --Case...

I recently warranteed my A8N-SLi. Sent it in the origional packaging, all the swag it came with, followed directions to a T. They send it back seemingly without it being opened...No explanation, nothing. I emailed them and havent got a reply. Anybody else had horrid experience with ASUS...

Quadnad, you are the man. I hope to get dual core. It doesnt make sense for me to buy another processor if they end up refunding the 3700+. If the RMA fails, im going for dual core for sure. The A8N-E should do great, I dont really know what more I was asking for, just something to compare...

Quadnad, thanks for the info. Not a terribly serious gamer, I usually just stick to one MMO and sometimes waste time with RTS. I like the idea of the 3800+. If I get a refund on the 3700+ I will definitely go for that. If it just gets replaced, may as well stick with 3700+. As for the...
