Arrrg.... problems again with the ethernet! I'm still waiting on for Intel to respond so they can "proceed in warrantee".

Yes, chipset/INF drivers are up to date... On another note, I let it sit overnight unplugged, opened the case this morning to take a look, touched the south bridge, booted up, and somehow the LAN works! I'm puzzled, because now the audio drivers are having issues and I'm trying to reinstall...

To summarize: Apparently after running some diagnostics (using the built in tests of the driver sofware) on my Gigabit 82566DC onboard LAN, I rebooted and then I got a popup message that new hardware was found, "Ethernet Controller". I tried reinstalling the latest (and correct) driver and...

Bump... this is an interesting thread, I considered getting rid of my swap file, mainly because I have 4 GB (~3.23 in 32 bit) ram, and I'd like to see if it ever uses the page file

Hope everyone had a good Christmas... Now to do some more research... What kind of power supply is sufficient to run the Q6700 with Ati 3870 all stock no overclocking? I was thinking 500 or 550W. As per the Antec Sonata Plus 550. Also, I'm still wondering about the ram. I read somewhere on an...

So what happens when you run lower timing and higher voltage? Will this lousy intel mobo not utilize lower timings? If the ram is specified at say 2.1V then does it not run stable? (This probably isn't the case as many of you are running good ram) I'm just a little confused now because I didn't...

Taken from my old post: Well, pmshop has had good luck with the intel board so far. I have yet to build my rig, but I hope I don't encounter any problems. Maybe the defective boards could be due to UPS's wonderful shipping of the bundles... I remember reading a post where the driver just...

Hey pmshop, have you had any issues with your intel mobo as per cinnaminbuns and The Mangler? I have yet to build my rig, (busy with final exams) but I hope I don't encounter any problems. Maybe it could be due to UPS's wonderful shipping of the bundles... I remember reading a post where the...

Yes, my driver didn't know how to find my address... see my post http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1031737911&postcount=894

Just to be clear, for my comparison inquiry between the gigabyte and intel boards, (for the sake of comparing) both would have good graphics cards (not comparing a gigabyte board with a good gpu and the integrated on intel) And like I said, if its a significant increase in performance, then by...

I'm still having a [h]ard time to decide... see, I don't plan on overclocking (for a few years) and by then some better mobos will be out. I'm not concerned with expansion at the moment either, since I plan on using DDR2 6400. Basically, if the gigabyte is going to be significantly better than...

Edit:

If you install the processor on the mobo with the stock heatsink, use it, then supposing you want to use the processor on another mobo, do you need to apply more TIM when using the same heatsink? Does the stock heatsick tim change after use?

Well after my bundle sitting here in Calgary since Thursday, after having to change delivery locations (cause of UPS's wonderful drivers) its arrived at my parents work... I partially asked before but... how is gaming on that Intel board? Is it worthwhile to get a nice gigabyte DS3R one or...

Would anyone have any links to benchmarks of our bundle mobo? I found this: http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=3111&p=1 but its useless I'd actually be interested in some benchmarks against the GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R or your other favorite mobo (comparable to the DS3R). I plan on...

As far as hard drives go, I'd have 1 raptor for just the os, and 1 for your other stuff. No need for more than that imo. Personally I am considering just 1. For graphics take a look at a geforce 8600 gts, good price and performance, or even stick to integrated until some sales come up.

Well, the point of this post is to confirm that UPS sucks and you may have problems, or maybe just the driver that I had come by my house who couldn't figure out where I live sucks...:p (happens to be a corner house) but Canada Post and other shipping companies... or pizza deliveries for that...

What was the total cost for your bundle? Too bad they shipped when our dollar went back to par... :(
