My current ESXi rig is limited to 8GB's of RAM so I've been in the market for a new *cheap* MB/CPU/RAM combo.
Honestly, I thought this board was going to ring up at $69.99. You can imagine my surprise when I saw $29.99!! Of course this board doesn't have a ton of bells and whistles and it...
Your sluggishness might be due to the fact that you gave out vCPU's like candy...lol!
It's always best to check performance before hand and if you *really need* another vCPU you give 1 and test some more. I've got an Exchange 2010 VM with 2.5GB's of RAM and, up until recently, only 1vCPU. I...
My old gaming rig...
GA-965P-DS3
C2D E6300 @ 2.8Ghz
8GB Corsair DDR2 @ 866Mhz
NVIDIA Quado (had a different card when gaming)
300GB WD Raptor
650W PS

Geforce 2 GTS to Radeon 8500.That was a HUGE jump. I worked for Gateway at the time and they were selling the 'highly sought after' 3.3ns mem version.
The jump from 6800GT to X1950XT was a pretty big one too...
For those who want to stroll down memory lane -...
Run some bootable hardware tests. Memtest86+ v4.0, CPU tests (from UBCD), DFT.
Hmmm, also (a long shot)...your monitor may be 'accidently' going to sleep. Try a different one. Check BIOS power mgmt too.
All started with USB, right...
I bet you grounded a USB port. Try booting up without any of the case USB ports plugged into the MB headers. If it turns out that one is damaged all you need to do is straighten/seperate the pins so they are not touching each other or the housing. Of course you...
