Best way to test different MB's with only one copy of Windows 7

Thanks! That was easy. One other question. I installed Win 7 on my old mobo/HD about two weeks ago. When I go to install it on my new mobo/HD, I'm assuming I'll have to call Microsoft? Or, is there some kind of transfer process/way to "close out" the installation on the previous system...

Best way to test different MB's with only one copy of Windows 7

I have 3 different X58 motherboards I want to try out. I'm simply going to swap the MB's out of my existing case/hard drive/dvd drive. Do I have to reformat the hd and reload Win7 each time, or can I simply swap the boards and assume Win7 will find most of the drivers? I forsee problems if I...

Difference between Gigbyte X58A-UD3R and X58A-UD5

It has 6 slots. I'm pretty sure they both handle same number of GPU cards. I was going to spring for the Asus P6X58D but UD3R is nearly $100 less at Microcenter right now.

Difference between Gigbyte X58A-UD3R and X58A-UD5

Big price difference between the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R and the GA-X58A-UD5 but as far as I can tell, the only real difference is: -One LAN on UD3R vs two on the UD5 -UD5 has much cooler looking heat sinks -UD5 has more phases for OC 12+2+2 vs 8 phase on the UD3r? I'm thinking I'd be...

Purchasing X58 This Week, Lots Of Choices

You know, this really pisses me off. Those A-****S know there's something wrong with a lot of the open box stuff and they feed it right back to people. Then they give you a hassle when you have to return it. Then there's the hole rebates BS - you have to fight to get your money back. WTF...

Using dual channel pairs in a 3 channal board???

I have a dual channel set of DDR3 1600 ram (2 sticks x 2 Gb) in my X55 board. If I upgrade to a X58 board, is there really any problem buying another set of the same model number dual channel RAM and simply using 3 out of the 4 sticks in the 3 channel board? I didn't think so but figured I'd...

ENERMAX EG465P-VE 450W power supply $39.99

If you do some research you will find that Enermax made quite a number of models beginning with "EG465P-VE" from a low of 12v@20A. It's important to find out exactly what model this is to see if it's really worth it.

When will we see CBBJD?

Didn't say I saw them. However, considering the CBBID's are the OC equivalent of an ox cart, I was wondering if a new CBBJD process might be the chariot I'm looking for, and if so, when we might see them.

When will we see CBBJD?

CBBID's seem to have pretty weakOC potential, and I cannot find any 3000+ or 3200+ CBBHD's in central NJ/PA area. I know it's not cut and dry, but historically, how often does AMD change CBBxx processes?
