I built two machines with this board and they are both still going strong. No problems with either one and since my grandson uses one of them that's saying a lot....lol. I use the other one as my daily machine.
I purchased the Samsung 4665 last weekend at Frys for $1599 and so far it's been great. They also had the 4661 for $1499 but I liked the picture on the 4665 better......not sure if it was worth the extra 100 or not but I went with what looked the best to my eyes.
I have a Samsung HDTV and I get HD channels without using the cable companys box. If your TV has a Qam tuner it should find the HD channels when you do a scan for channels on setup. I just have basic cable.
I bought the academic version of home premium for $70 from Campus tech and it has worked great. Good deal if you are in school or have kids in school or work for a school....etc.
Seems like a nice program but after cloning my drive to a usb drive I couldn't get it to boot either. It lists it in the bios and I enabled the boot from usb but still no go. Now I'm wondering if I take the drive out of the usb enclosure and actually install it in the computer will it boot...
Well I for one don't ever get tired of this thread. There's a reason it's still going on. A great motherboard for a great price. I bought two of them and they are both still going strong.....one on vista and one on xp. Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself.....lol!!
I've gotten all my ultra rebates also.......2 power supplies and 1 case. They just delivered the corsair 520 I ordered today or I would have been all over this one. Still might be actually if it ever shows free shipping. Hard for me to turn down free.....lol
Only one problem I can see......you have to pay your own way to NYC if you win and want to claim the prize. Great for people that live close enough I guess.....of course you'll still have to pay to park.
OK Here's what my device manager says. ST380811A SATA Device Driver provider: Microsoft. Driver date: 6/21/2006. Driver Version: 6.0.6000.16386. Digital Signer: microsoft windows. I should tell you I am running vista home premium and it has worked great.
There is still free shipping if you choose 3-5 day option. $78 is for next day shipping. There is tax though even in dell home now and that sucks big time.
start at $5.96. Of course I only buy one box cause that lasts me a couple years. Not sure which deal is better if you buy 4.

Hard to believe they finally ran out of these. It was a good run while it lasted. Of course I now wish I would have ordered a third board. Guess that means I'll have to switch to core 2 duo......lol.
I have two of these boards. One has the Opty 165 and the other has the Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 2.2GHz. Both work great but for $75.99 at newegg the 3700 is probably the best deal.
Has anyone gotten a confirmation e-mail back from MS or do they wait till they are shipped? Also.....when do you have to send in the proof of purchase.....thanks.
I have the IDE version of this burner and its been great....very quiet. This sata one should be just as good and love the smaller cable....gonna have to spring for one. Thanks op
One other thing I just noticed. I went ahead and filled all the memory slots with sticks I already had. I had read that this might cause the memory to drop in speed but they all seem to be running at (2.5-3-3-8@200mhz).
Finally got around to building my second computer with this board yesterday. First one has a AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego and the second one has the Opteron 165. Only thing I have noticed so far is the Opteron with the stock heat sink runs about 7 degrees cooler than the first one with a...
Well Kenton it will be interesting to hear what you find out. I hope it's not the motherboard since I still have one sitting here ready to go in my new system. Have been waiting for a few more parts to arrive but I think the big snowstorm in Denver has delayed them. Probably for the best...
LOL....well I can't say for sure that the opteron is ok, but at least Bob must feel good about having a wife that is more interesting to you than his install!!
I recieved my second board yesterday. It looks like they must have received some complaints on the packing because this one was like triple wrapped and then put in a much larger box surrounded by air pillows. Way different from the first one I got....LOL
