I have a pc based on an A8N32-SLI board. Every so often during a
reboot (restart) the BIOS fails to find the drives. If I power off and
wait 15-20 second and restart the PC all is well.
I switched the drive cables around into SATA jack #3 for the boot

First there was a problem with burnt memory sticks by OCZ; I've
switched to Corsair memory 1GB kit 2x512MB DDR2 PC-5400.  System
seemed to be fine but after installation of Windows XP x64 I get a lot
of "NTLDR is missing. Please re-install Windows..." etc.

For a while, 1GB on my P4P800-E Deluxe based PC was more than adequate
for me.
But now, after installing VMWare and running multiple operating systems
concurrently, I would like to upgrade the system's memory to the

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice
ASUS A8N5X
MSI NX7800GT
Thermaltake TR2 W0070 ATX 430W Power Supply

Hi guys,i want to build a real good box. what would be the best
overclockable cpu/mobo combo.water cooling WILL BE used.Also a good gaming
card.Thanks heaps.

Currently have A7V8X MB with LAN/Firewire/Audio/Raid/SATA133 -
I have run this system for 3+ years and upgraded to AMD 2800+XP Socket A
processor using 1 Gig DDR 400 Ram.
With programs I'm running, I have been very pleased with system stability

I like the new Core 2 Dou specs and hype, but all MBs seem to be ATI
compatable only.  Need a good maxed out super deluxe board set up to run
Nvidia x 2 video cards.  Prefer ASUS, of course.   Anything out worth
looking at?   Will go AMD dual core before choosing ATI.

P4P800, bios 1019, SATA enabled but in Non-Raid mode.  Fresh
install of XP with slipstreamed SP2.  Looks like chipset inf may
not be necessary with SP2... The only thing that seems to be
needed after a fresh install of XP-SP2 is the 3Com Gigabit LOM

I am using an a7n8x-deluxe and I recently removed three 512 meg sticks
of Corsiar XMS PC-3500 and installed two sticks of Kingston 1 gig PC-3200
Am I better off with 1.5 gigs of better spec Corsair or better off with
the 2 gigs of Kingston? TIA.

I'm wanting to upgrade my CPU but in order to do so I need to upgrade
the BIOS.
The ASUS website says I need to install the latest chipset drivers
before I upgrade the BIOS.

Is my P4B533-E motherboard compatible with SATA hard disks?
Is there a site to input your motherboard model and answers if it is
compatible
with PATA or SATA hard disks?

Okay. So I'm gonna start of by posting my system specs.
Asus P4V8X-MX Motherboard
512mb of Ram (2x256)
2.66 Ghz Pentium 4 Proccesor

A9550 driver
I have been trying several times to d/l from ASUS - none of the four
options (USA/Europe etc) works. D/l times out after a few minutes.
The file is huge -207 mb - because ASUS stuffed three versions of

Is it just me or does the Asus website suck. Downloads for me only go at
8KBs and trying to read the forums is impossible. I do not have this issue
at other websites.

I just built a new workstation with ASUS M2NPV-VM, Athlon 64 3800+, 2
GB Corsair DDR2 Twin2X Matched Mem Pair and Maxtor DiamondMax SATA/150
200GB HD. I was able to install XPPro with SP2, all the ASUS drivers
and utilities.  After reboot I use the system for a couple of minutes
