I'm attempting to clean install Vista Ultimate on a Seagate SATA 320GB HD on an Asrock 939dual SATAII mobo and when I get to the "where do you want to install VISTA?" part there are no drives listed. On the one hand it appears that that mobo doesn't support VISTA yet I've seen other posts on...

this is what I use...works great for me, free too! http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/

Ironically, everything seems to be rock solid after uninstalling the dual core "optimizer". I've run several burn in wizards and gamed for a couple of hours and no probs. *crosses fingers*

Actually the temps are ok. Under load about 39degC, and 33 normal. I uninstalled the dual core optimizer from AMD and, for the moment, I haven't had any probs. Going to try HL2 Episode one now...

I upgraded my 3500+ to an X 4800+ today. I've never had a prob with lockups before however I've locked up at least 4 times since the change over. Hasn't been during games, just at the desktop. Specs: X2 4800+ 2 16MB Seegate 320GB drives RAID 0 Evga 7900GT KO Creative SB Audigy ASRock...

My X2 4800+ is at the local fed ex facility right now! $321.99 otd, ordered from Monarch on 07/26

Great, I ordered one last night, bah

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Dual-Core 1MB Per Core 90nm (939) (Retail Box-w-Fan) Code: 120243 Price: $320.00 $320?? Newegg has this proc for $632.00! holy frijoles

Yeah, there's a section early on where some bastid can shoot through wall, crates, from any angle...A real pain in the ass. I didn' t think it was one of those "cloakers" but I could be wrong. I had to ease up on the difficulty setting to get past that point.

I just purchased the Gateway 250X. 1.73Ghz, 533Mhz, 1GB RAM, 100GB HD and additional 6cell battery, ~$1400 with free shipping. I'm very happy with it as the 14" widescreen at 1280x768 is very nice. Great little 'puter for taking to school or sittin' on the couch with.
