Will existing motherboards support the 2nd gen Ryzens like the 2600/2600x out of the box or will they require a BIOS update?
If not, how can I tell if a motherboard supports updating without a working CPU? Supposedly these exist now?
Thanks.
So its been a very long time since I did a full build.

Anyone have a M65, or M60 as well I guess, and had an issue getting buttons to work in games?
Sometimes I want the Sniper button to act as its meant to, and other times I would rather have it be just another button to use in bindings. Other times games won't allow me to change key/mouse...
Budget is about 50 bucks.
I'm looking for something that is durable and has decent sound. I dont really care if the mic for it is attached to the headphones or is placed on the desk.
I just don't really see much that looks good around the $50 mark. Anyone have any Ideas?
Anyone else getting this message lately?

So far its been with 8049 WUs.
I've had a long hiatus, but I'm back to folding, though not for the [H]orde(sorry :p ).
I have an i7 2600 and currently have 2 v6 clients running on a core each. I would like to use the SMP client, but only on selective cores(such as 4. 5, 6, and 7).

Been trying to reinstall this game, felt liek playing it again, but I cant get it to work.
It just goes to a black screen. Downloaded the 1.4 XP patch that says it makes it fully compatible with XP and I get the same issue.
System specs are in my sig.
Anyone had any luck getting this...
Havent played in a couple weeks, now the launcher loads up and does its torrenting files deal and I guess theres an update cuz it downloads to 97% and then stops. Just sits there.
Anyone else have this problem? I havent found a recent update hosted on any sites.
I installed XP x64 again from a slipstream, made from nlite.
I cut media player out and I want it now, dont feel like doing a reinstall for just that though, but the installer for MP10 and 11 says only for 32bit OSes.
Is there no 64bit installer?
A buddy is looking to get a mobo for his e6700 and likes the board, but it doesnt show support for the chip. I know some 975s can and some cant. Is this one a no go?
As I've been installing Ubuntu, slackware, debian, and Suse I've noticed they performed a bit different.
Slackware was probably the fastest, had it set for KDE even without the smp kernel
I'd put Ubuntu next on Gnome, after its smp kernel
then Suse on KDE with smp
and last Debian...
So I've moved on to slackware for now, and from the CD it installs fine, but without smp.
So i decided to hit up linuxquestions forums for some help, they have a guide to update the kernel and stuff, so it was kinda handy, but I need more help.
After the install here is the process I went...
I have only one video card, but I have an Areca 1210 PCIe 8x card in the other 16x slot.
With the PCIe1 slot at 16x, the other 16x slot is only runnign at 2x. Now if I set it like it was using SLI, both would run at 8x, maybe better for the raid card, but would it hurt the video performance?
2 systems, 2 different issues
System 1 is the oen in my sig, x64 version of ubuntu, it will not see my raid array, areca's site lists linux drivers, but none for ubuntu.
System 2, P4C 2.6, Ubuntu doesnt see it as a HT chip, at least I dont think so, because in its system monitor it only...

I'm really interested in a tablet PC, something powerful enough to do some heavier things, like a 1.73 or 2.0ghz mobile chip.
Main use would be for troubleshooting other systems, having text/pda resources on hand, cd burning, dvd maybe, dont see the need for it right now. Also would use open...
Holy crap, I saw on their site that Anandtech rated them #1 for support, for what? I sent an email asking if I could run a Thunder LE-T or Thunder HE-SL without ECC RAM, and I get back a massive email telling me to go through a big process, and that if I dont, it may be a long time before I get...
After setting up a slipstream with Nlite do I need to leave the nlite configuration files labeled "last session" or is that only for the nlite program?
All I need for the unattended is the winnt.sif, so i think I should be able to delete them, but not sure.

This scythe seems to be the best price on a heatpipe cooler and it says it supports a 478 socket.
I'm just unsure of how it'll do mounted in a tower, doenst look all that secure.
What are you guys using for voltage/Timings?
I'm at 2.6 on my DFI, the monitor says its at 2.7 though, not sure which is mroe accurate.
I was gonna type out my timings but damn its just too much, heres a screenie LOL
At 2.55ghz now (255x10)...
System this is for is in my sig.
I'm looking at PC4000 from either
OCZ timings are 3 4 3 8, Gskill is 3 4 4 8
OCZ Voltage is 2.75 and Gskill is 2.6-2.8
I'm 50/50 on who to go with, what I dont like is the variable voltage on Gskill, how reliable is it?
