*** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

Hello, all. I recently bought an ASUS P5B Deluxe motherboard and 1Gx2 "10th Anniversary" Crucial RAM (TY2KIT12864AA663) from newegg.com. After assembling the new machine myself, I now note that this new machine is occasionally hard rebooting under Windows XP SP2 (all patches are current). I...

New Build

Icepick, you're probably right on what the future holds. I know the new graphics cards coming soon will need 800W or more (to run dual GPUs), but it's too late for newegg.com to drop this part of the order, so I'll just keep it rather than waste more money on an RMA and S&H. I probably wasted...

New Build

Hello, all. I am looking at putting together a new system myself at home and am looking at a similar system to what plasticfish outlines above, with the notable exception of wanting to use two massive IDE hard drives I already own and a 2-year-old old ATI/Radeon 9800 Pro 128M 8X R video card...

How much better will I need to be to run Vista?

OK. But will the system be snappy with what I have?

Thanks for confirming what I suspected, Bobthelost. So... you use Linux don't you? I put SUSE 10.1 on a 20 GB partition this week. Seems snappy but my having SO MUCH legacy data under XP makes me think I could never really fully embrace it.

I agree on the Vista comments... note I said "(not that I'll jump immediately to it when it's out)." It's a shame on the 2 GB thing. Is the 64-bit version of XP tweaked to provide me anything better performancewise, or am I better off sticking with the 32-bit version of XP I use now?

How much better will I need to be to run Vista?

With the advent of Vista (not that I'll jump immediately to it when it's out), I have started thinking about configuring a new machine. It's been 2 years this month since I put my last machine together: Micro-Star International (MSI) K8N Neo Platinum MS-7030 Motherboard AMD Athlon 64 3000+...
