Well, its an Vista Ultimate Upgrade version that I got through my school, but yes, I used the workaround to do a clean install (assuming thats what you meant by OEM activation hack). So are the chipset drivers from nvidia even needed or are the ones with Vista all thats necessary? I dont...

Just bumping to see if anyone knows what may be wrong - still having issues with it. Should I have not installed the SATA drivers in the chipset driver package from the nVidia site? It seems the problem started only after installing the nVidia drivers, but the fact that it can see the drive...

So I just did a clean install of Vista tonight. I have 2 Sata drives, my main one with the O/S, and then a 2nd one from my previous install that I use to access older files (not set up in a RAID or anything). I installed Vista with just the primary connected and everything went fine...

If you want to disable this notification for your SATA drives, here's a page that has instructions for doing so: http://www.trilithium.com/johan/2006/08/safely-remove-hardware/

To preface, I dont have a ton of overclocking experience so some of this is still confusing to me, and I read through about 40 pages of this thread, so I'm not just being lazy. But what is the general consensus on where you can OC the E6600 w/ the SLI-FI before you start to maybe run into...

Yep it was. Thanks...

Last night I finished up putting my system together and ran a new install on XP. As it was installing a box popped up saying Boot Sector Write! VIRUS: Continue (y/n). I hit yes and windows finished installing normally. I didnt know what it was at the time but now I found online that it must've...

Alright, sounds good...thanks

The one's on the MSI website look to be later versions...should I use those instead or stick with the ones on Nvidia's site? Also, do I use the Realtek High Definition Audio Driver thats on there as well? Nothing off the CD at all then?

Ok, thanks. Dumb question....Do i still install the drivers that're on the cd with the mobo, or are these replacing those? Like I said, i havent done this in a while...

I just got this board and am getting ready to start it up for the first time tonight but had a question. I've been out of the loop for a while, but last time I installed windows with a new mobo, at one point I had to hit f6 to install the 3rd party SATA drivers, and then I put in a floppy that...

Thanks, thats what I figured....knew it was a dumb question but figured i'd ask...

I just had a quick question about this - am I supposed to plug the pci express power plug from my PSU directly into the card? A plug adapter came in the box with the card, which is a PCI-e plug that plugs into the card and then v's into 2 4-pin molex connectors. Do I use this instead an plug...
