Some people have problems with the IDE driver, and some don't. Really more dependent on your motherboard. The nVidia IDE driver is not required to run, but it is alittle better with performance. You should be able to install the driver after windows is installed, but it's possible that it...

This isn't as fun as it should be. There's really only a fixed set of option you can do to meet the guidelines, then afterwards, that's all she wrote.. They could atleast show it go through a battle or something to see how well it did.

speedfan is probably going to be the best bet, since Motherboard Monitor stopped being developed.. Hardware monitor is available, but not free.. Haven't used that myself.

How long has this board been away for? Your battery might be dead..

http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=983781 I'd read through the sticky in case you have problems.

I think some of the biggest problems people have upgrading from Single Core to Dual Core, is getting Windows to update the HAL correctly. It's imperative that in Device Manager the system is now reading MultiProcessor ACPI System. If don't see that, Windows is not seeing your system correctly...

Shit, might have to get one.. Considering I'd have to buy almost another new system to make the move to pci-e, this isn't a bad little upgrade. It's not like my 3500+ is that bad, I'm really only limited by the 6800GT.. Just wondering how far ahead this is over that.. Still, definately cheaper...

Hate to break it to you kids, but The inq might not be too far off.. Considering they are this close to release, it's not looking too well: Anand's test of RC1 Granted that's RC1, but how much tweaking is left this close to release? We shall see..

Ok, check this out.. It's the press release for the new ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium, and they talk about a 3rd 16x PCI-e slot for nVidia physics card.. Think it's a dedicated PPU with new hardware? Or just a slot to put in an old card, that will do the physics processing the announced alittle while...

speedfan is the best there is that's free, since mobo monitor stopped being developed... My only problem with it is that it will get stuck, and consume 100% of my cpu resources eventually, if I allow it to try and read all nvidia components on my system. There is a flag you can run to turn it...

Yes, the conroe is techincally a "quad" core processor, since it has hyperthreading, but hyperthreading is not substitue for real dual cores.. But, it really doesn't matter.. it's not like those game benches were mulithreaded, cept for quake 4 where the FX caught up to about 13%..

eh, having loyalty to a company is pointless.. go for the better product.. which is why I've run AMD for so long.. but now.. man.. I can't ignore that kind of performance.. especially since the conroe they used is supposed to be sold @ $547 per thousand chips.. and it kicked a $1000 FX's ass...

wow.. good stuff to be sure.. I knew this was going to happen after seeing benches of what the Dothan could do as a desktop board.... I think AMD might be out of luck on this one.. DDR2 is not going to save it, even at 800.. not enought to make up for 40%.. that's some serious architectural...

man.. I owned a uforce and power glove.. LOL

that's not what he's talking about. When you go to flash the copperhead, after you plug it in while depressing the button on the back, a new hardware window comes up, but this only to install the driver necessary to update the firmware over USB. The reason this isn't comming up, is you already...
