the cobbler, is this just for the Neo4 Plat or should you do this for all motherboards after you flash? I've never heard of this and never do it and never seem to have shut down problems or any other problems that can be traced back to a flash without updating the chipset drivers.
So, is the most stable bios right now for the K8N Neo4 Platinum non-SLI the 1.6 bios? I was going to upgrade from 1.5 to 1.9 for a computer I'm trying to fix for a friend, but then I read about the shutdown issue with the 1.9s in this thread.
I had to reinstall XP SP2 on a computer for a co-worker because his system was hosed by a video card driver update not done correctly. I set all the bios settings, installed XP SP2 and then installed LAN drivers and it won't make the Internet connection. It's connected as a third computer right...
"Regardless of how you get around the EULA, it doesn't make it right (or legal). A Retail OS can be carried to another computer - an OEM can not. If you use an upgrade, by the letter of the EULA if you use an OEM to pass the upgrade check, the upgrade should be used on the same computer as the...
"When you upgrade to a new mainboard or another computer system you are supposed to purchase a new copy of the OS."
No, only purchase another copy if you have problems and then call up M$ and they don't let you activate with the new hardware. Then and only then do you buy a new copy.
Almost forgot. You're wrong. A firewall won't protect you against a malicious website. A firewall won't protect you against an instant message worm. A firewall will not protect you from something in email. And a firewall will not protect you when your friend brings his computer over and...
Kudos to yukichigai and Varun for taking the time to run with ball and explain everything that really shouldn't have needed an explanation. Although, there is one thing I have to agree we really can't do much about right now"

Whatever Microsoft does next, is their call. Don't we have to do whatever they say? If they say SS and CC numbers, then we must obey the great master. You think what you think and I'll think what I think. Obviously, neither of our minds are changing.
sTaSh, if you can't see my reason for wanting to work around this, then you need to open your eyes and quit being blinded by M$ corporate BS. Let's get real here. What's next, making us enter our social security number and credit card numbers to get access to updates? It's just one more step in...
Here we go again with the "Holier Than Thou" Anandtech attitude. Why is it almost everytime I ask a question here someone says "you don't need to do that" or "why are you doing that?". I'm just asking a simple question about something that I feel stronger about spending time on doing with good...
STaSh, it's the whole principle of the thing. Yes, I could just give in to corporate BS and install WGA, but if there is a way around it I'm taking it.
How about a way to not even install WGA and still be able to DL updates without turning on automatic updates with SP1a? I do have a legal copy of XPSP1a, but I think this WGA crap is total BS.
"following the instructions and it should all be easy."
Spike, that was the problem. The instructions almost covered it, but not quite. I don't build computers for a living, otherwise I'd know by now and surely would have used this PSU in a system by now with a video card that required the...
I appreciate the response and I'll plug the 6-metal pin end into the video card, but it's not obvious. If the ends are different, then there should be something in the PSU manual that states this and lets the user know which end goes where. Just labelling the PCI-E end with a PCI-E label just...
Bump!
Since we're talking the SP-500, I have another question. I'm trying to connect an eVGA 6800GT PCI-E card to an Antec SP-500 PSU for someone and it doesn't seem as easy as it sounds. This Antec PSU comes with a new "Advanced Cable Management System" and each cable set connects separately...
"SPD stands for serial presence detect which basically means an interaction between the main memory and the L2 cache in order to coordinate the memory timing"
Looks the SPD is actually based on an interaction with the memory and CPU. The same Corsair RAM that I bought for my own system...
1. I have it running 2.5-3-3-6 at 2T right now. This person is not gaming, so I might just leave it here for now. I'm not sure why it took this time and not last week though.
2. I meant question #1 of course (I changed that). Also, it looks like everything except Trc and something else have...
Using this MB (and 3200+ Venice core CPU) with TWINX1024-PC3200C2 RAM, which is supposed to run at 2.5-3-3-6 on an AMD 939 system. In bios v1.5, it shows the 2.5 CAS latency and shows it running at 2T, but it won't show everything else even when I put it on manual. So, I have a few questions...
I'm not sure which Enermax one you're talking about, but if it's the same one that was out last year I heard that the Nexus was better and could take more volts on each channel just in case you wanted to put two fans on one knob or maybe a monster fan that takes a lot of volts. That's all I know...
The reason for having more than one big partition is so you don't lose all your data when your HD crashes. The backup being another option preferably using both options at the same time to save data. I use a 15GB partition for WinXP and all the programs on a 200Gb HD with 4 other partitions...
"Are you using the POWER1 connector?"
If you're talking about plugging one of the power connectors to that port in the bottom left corner of the MB, then yes he did that.
But my brother is having problems with low SB voltage and srea seems to be saying that it's not the SB but the NB and putting a fan on the passive HS might help this. Is this a Bios issue and how can this be solved?
Anyone know how the Abit AX8 compares to the Asus A8V-E Deluxe for people that aren't overclocking? I'm helping my brother look for a new MB and we've narrowed it down to these two boards. Which one is faster? Which is more stable? Thank you.
No, because I've installed drivers before and this happens even without changing any vsync or any settings. The cubes spin out of control, I uninstall and reinstall, then the cubes are fine. This is just what I noticed. So, TheSnowman, what you're saying is if I leave vsync at application...
I've checked out the write-ups and other stuff about this control center, but I'll stick with the ATI Control Panel for now. Maybe with my next driver update of something. Thanks for the links!
Finally upgraded from the 3.9s to the 4.7s last night and was having a helluva time doing it. After a couple hours, I finally realized I had to set Vsync to Application Preference instead of Always Off in Direct3D with ATI Control Panel or else the DX Diagnostic tests would run faster and the...
Looks like I was correct and that FSAA Quality has to On and not App. Pref. Anyway, I ran a bunch of benchmarks today with the 3.9 drivers with the two 3DMark tests and Aquamark3. With various settings of AA/AF for 3DMark03 and Aquamark3, it looks like all the numbers are in order but with...
