I am trying to keep my first computer alive after its CPU died...  My
P2B-S is rev 1.02 and runs my friends P3 450 just fine. In an attempt
to breath life into it with a faster cpu and slocket, I have run into
some problems.  With my ASUS S370-133 slocket set to 1.8v the machine

Hi, i've an A8N-SLI deluxe.
Wich LAN connector should i use? Does it matter if i use the NFORCE4 or the
Marvell? It's only for getting on the internet, but there is a router in
between. Does that matter?

Has anyone had a chance to upgrade too and test this BIOS yet?
Your opinion?

I'm trying to modify the Serial Number in the System - BIOS section of
the DMI.  But when I try to modify the serial number, it just comes
back saying "DMI function not support;" "Updating DMI have some
problem."  It'd be just nice to get rid of the "To Be filled by

I have an XP 2400+ cpu (266bus) on an A7n8x board with 1gig of PC2700
memory.  Last year I thought about upgrading the cpu but after gathering
some info I didnt really think I'd notice the difference enough to make it
worth the bother.  

Fry's is advertising a combo E6700 processor and an Asus P5N-E SLI
board for $450.  On their site, they list the 6700 at $515 and the
board for $150 so I have to wonder why they would sell a $665 package
for $450.  Seems too good to be true.

A few questions here - not sure if they're related or not.  I haven't
seen it lately, but sometimes when the person goes into Microsoft Digital
Image or Adobe Photoshop Elements, the window even when maximized will jolt
around a little and sometimes you'll start to see graphical ...

It would be much appreciated if someone can give me instructions on
how to update the bios on a Gigabyte 965p-s3 motherboard. I know I
have the F7 bios Installed at the moment (the most recent one is F8) .
I need to update the bios due to a BSOD stop error get (stop

I recently had a problem  with an ASUS P4C800E-Deluxe  with an ICH5R
Southbridge chipset.  I have been trying to find a replacement
equivalent motherboard  based on the Intel 478 platform but with a
different southbridge chip.  I am not too successful in finding one.

I have an Asus A7V400-MX mobo with an AMD Sempron 2800+ processor and
512MB of Ram.  When I open up Windows and go My Computer Properties,
the AMD processor is listed as 1.99 GHz, which is correct, but the RAM
is listed as 480 MB, not 512 MB.  I have two other computers with Asus

I am using an Asus P5W-DH Deluxe Motherboard and have an external  
eSATA-harddisk connected via the JMicron eSATA-Port found on the  
motherboard. All is working well except for one tiny annoyance: every time  
I turn on the external harddisk while WinXP is running (hot-plugging) ...

I don't have a floppy, but want to upgrade the Bios Rev. 1007 of my
Mobo A7N8X Deluxe 2.0. Is there another way? I think it makes no sense
to buy a floppy only to use it once. I want to use a XP processor, and
I have right now only a Duron 1200. Thanx in advance.

Every once in a while, my computer monitor will go blank as if in power
saving mode. Is my video card dying?  I also get hard freezes.
Thanks

I just upgraded my DreamPC's bios to 1405 and I tested bf2demo and bf2full
and doom3 demo and there is no sound crackling during game loading.
At least so far.
There is still some sound corruption in BF2 (demo confirmed, full unknown)
