I'm going to build a new PC for my home and had a few questions about
the SB81P.  The system will be used for internet access, email,
digital photo (not professionally), light gaming, music, etc.  Built a
system earlier this year for my girlfriend using the FT61 mainboard.

It's time to upgrade my beloved yet loud and hot XPC SK41G. I've
scanned the posts for a while without a satisfying answer.
The latest post I could find is over a year old:

I have a existing 64X64,DDR400,3200,512 memory stick. Added a Kingston
DDR 512 3200 Hyper X 400MHz but cannot make them work together. Tried
slots 1&3, 2&4 with differant results everytime. Bios can see both
sticks but cannot boot windows XP Pro SP2. Not looking for specic

I see from my motherboard manual that the board (FN45) has 2 extended
USB headers...JP11 and JP14. How do I bring these to the rear panel?
Surely I don't have to lose the only PCI slot.
thanks,

I unpacked a new Shuttle barebones SK41G earlier and cannot find the copper
shim for the CPU anywhere.  Is there a specific place in the packing where
it should have been?  Is it a part that was discontinued but still appears
in the instructions?  I'll be contacting Fry's about this ...

I'm thinking about getting a shuttle  SN95G5.  Anandtech.com reccomends that
barebones system with a Nvidia 6600 GT AGP and Athlon 64 3500+.  My question
is whether it can supply adequate power.  It comes with a 240W power supply,
but the 6600 GT requires a 300W.  Any insights?  ...

I read/heard somewhere that it would be possible to have a RAID 0
portion and a RAID 1 portion on the same disk-pair on a SB81P. Is this true?
If so, does it actually work?   ;-)
Regards,

Hi,
My HD has recently been discovered as a little damaged (bad sectors
appearing  ) causing crashes, locks and several reinstalations of
Windows! And so i am looking at getting another HD. I have the Shuttle

I have flashed BIOS on my AV40 board, from version av40S025.bin to
av40S030.bin and now the board won?t boot at all, just a whirring sound when
the mb fans starts and stops.
The version of the board is the one without raid controller and mb revision

Just to check if there is any solution to this situation.
I have a Shuttle with am FB61 Mainboard.
There is no free PCI slot, and the built in sound card does not have an
AUDIO-LINE IN as far as I can tell.

I had too much time/server space on my hands so now we have:

Each barebone has its own group...   :)

I recently built (assembled) a SB81P system.  I'm using 'hmonitor' to
monitor the termeratures, fan speeds, and power supply voltages.  I
would like to compare my readings with others.  Anyone have a similar
system and want to compare notes?

I just got a Shuttle SB61G2 system and put Windows XP on it.  I've installed
all the chipset drivers off the cd, however XP doesn't have all the basic
ACPI functions such as system stand-by and hibernate.  Standby is greyed out
as an option when shutting down and theres no ...

I have a Shuttle with the FB61 mainboard.
I just bought a ATI all-in-wonder 9800 graphics card from
Overclockers.co.uk (their own brand one @ £98.00 excl. VAT)
I haven't got a lot of experience with home building, but I thought that

I've installed a Shuttle PC12 6-in-1 card reader into a SN41G2 but the
device just gets installed as an unknown device under windows xp sp2!
Anybody know what could be wrong or is the card reader broken?
Thanks
