I did not. Would it be a good idea to wipe the HD and start over? I probibly won't be able to do that until next week, but if it might help...

This blows. I just received the new motherboard and it is no different. I can't load the ethernet, Firewire, or PCI drivers. I get the error about the firmware not supporting the hardware. I haven't tried to flash it, but I don't want to. Their customer service wanted me to get a floppy...

I haven't tried flashing the BIOS. I called MSI and they told me how to do it, but I don't want to buy a floppy drive only to find out that I still have a bad board. I called NewEgg and they gave me an RMA number, so I'll try another board. Speaking of which, since I'll have to take...

It is brand new, and there are no other ethernet devices installed.

I have built my new computer and I am having some problems. I have the MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard, and used the setup disk included to load drivers. There are a number of drivers that failed to load. The first one I'm trying to get to work is the onboard ethernet. I keep getting the error...

Here's what I ended up going with: CASE ASPIRE|X-QPACK - Yellow MSI RS480M2-IL MSI|RX800XL AMD 64 |3200+ ATHLON 64 DDRAM 2x512MB| OCZ4001024ELDCPER2-K HD 80GB|MAXTOR 6L080P0 Samsung CMBO 52x32x52x16 Should be getting it Tuesday, we'll see how it goes. PsiNorm

No problem. I don't want to blow this thing up, I just spent $950 on it. Should get the pieces Monday.

Good timing, seeing how it's almost 5 here. It's a day. Thanks a bunch guys, you've been an amazing help. I might post again later once I get things together to see what kind of OC fun I can have, if you'd be willing to teach. PsiNorm

I might play around with overclocking, if it wasn't too hard and I had some guidence, but I'm not building with overclocking in mind.

Ok, maybe I won't wait since we're nippling and diming it... I mean nickle and boobs... I mean... money. So I need some guidence on memory. Is there an easy way to look up 2-2-2 timings? The search on newegg doesn't search that way. I found this...

OK, you may have convinced me to wait. What DFI mATX board am I waiting for? PsiNorm

Ok, here's a new list. It still needs tweaking though. ASPIRE X-QPACK-YL/420 Black/Yellow Computer Case MSI RS480M2-IL Micro ATX AMD Motherboard AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor Maxtor DiamondMax 10 80GB 3.5" IDE Ultra ATA133 Hard Drive NEC Black IDE DVD Burner...

Heh, yeah. Sorry for the short notice. I signed up for these froums a while ago and never got any e-mail from administrators saying that I could post. I finally got tired of just browsing and thought I'd try to sign in anyways - it worked. PsiNorm

Is this the processor you're talking about? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103562 That's quite costly. As tempting as it is to go all out, I need to keep in mind that I will be playing WoW on this thing, so is it necessary? Also, with dual channel memory, would...

What about the smaller frontside bus on the foxconn? I don't know much about that, but 400 seems very low compared to the bus speed of the processor. Also, the x2 processor means Dual Core? If so, then I guess that would mean that the processor I had picked out wasn't, eh?
