    MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard still driving me crazy

    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...

    MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard still driving me crazy

    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...

    Ethernet problem with MSI board

    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...

    Ethernet problem with MSI board

    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...

    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.

    My first SFF build

    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

    My first SFF build

    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?
