Problems booting with a sata drive connected

Still not working properly since i get CRC Errors in Windows with the added SATA drive... Maybe the cable is borked. System seems to bootup a LOT faster when no IDE drives attached though, so I think i'm gonna scrap the current IDE drive I am using and go for pure SATA. The fun thing is...

Problems booting with a sata drive connected

The solution was to downgrade from BIOS 1302 Beta to 1009 Official. According to vip.asus.com forums one could also use the 1303 Alpha bios, but I opted for a rollback. What was funny was that any ASUS Update utility after v6.6 would NOT allow me to downgrade from 1302 to 1009. Also, the...

geforce 8800 refresh any word?

Hopefully they will soon release a card that can compete with the 7950GX2's in terms of Performance, Heat and most of all Noise. Probably the best card ever from Nvidia. Hoping for a 8800GX2 at 43db ;)

It could seem like they have done some design changes on the K8N Platinum SLI card.. as the BIOS on the card had settings for 2 GB LAN and also more SATA connectors than there were on the card. After 'upgrading' the BIOS the extra GB LAN and SATA connectors were removed. argh... bastards.

<< Asus is releasing the "A7V266-A", what a long cumbersome name. Since the KT266A is a drop in replacement for KT266 most of the big players will have new updates boards just like the transition from KT133 to KT133A. >> Do you know an ETA on this? Mid October perhaps? :-)
