my very simple review on MSI K8N Diamond Plus

Got this board after my miserable failure with Creative Live and ASUS A8N SLI premium, and everything went smoothly so far. Here are some quick pro's and con's PRO's: -- Of course the true 2x16 PCIe, at reasonable cost --- $25 more than ASUS A8N SLI premium. -- ROCK solid, no problem at all...

Creative live killed my A8N SLI Premium?

Yes I disabled the sound on board. I am using XP pro, SP2, with all latest updates and drivers. PSU is Enermax EG565P-VE FMA 535W. Yes I do have the 4 pin and 20+4pin plugged in, otherwise the green LED won't even turn ON. It worked perfect for 2 days until I decided to add SB Live, which...

Creative live killed my A8N SLI Premium?

Very simple config: A8N SLI Premium, 3700+ (San Diego), 6600GT, 2G Kingston RAM. Built this system 3 days ago and installed all latest drivers, BIOS ..etc Was using Marvell LAN (mistake 1?), but everything perfect so did not care. Today, I decided to plug in an old Creative Live card...

The Unofficial Abit AN8 Ultra thread

Abit listed x2 CPU's (toledo) are supported from bios 19, but what BISO version does the board come with? I am going to order this board and 4400x2 CPU, is it going to at least boot so I can update the BIOS? Certainly dont have an extra CPU floating around just to update bios ... Thanks

I need to make absolutely sure an Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego will work with the Asus A8N-SLI Premium

I am about to order the same thing: A8N SLI Premium + 4000 San Diego. Asus stated 4000+ (rev.E4), is supported from 1004, and 4000+ (rev.E6) from 1009. My questions/worries are: -- what BIOS version does the mobo come with, out of the box? If it is too old, I can not boot because of the...

I sent the computer to them and they simply replace the hinge and sent back to me. Whole process took about 1 week

More on the hinge crack --- just found my 3 months old 6809 has the problem and very upset although many said it is purely cosmetic. Called emachines 1-801-401-1419, and they dont have any problem replacing the parts. They will cover all shipping costs as well. So all fellow 68xx owners if...

Anyone tried update 6809 using the 6811 BIOS posted here: http://www.rmecc.com/~v2/em/index.html I installed XPSP2 and also have several issues --- but a little hesitate to use it :)

I meant the text cursor, not mouse cursor, which even moves by bumping touchpad, will not affect your typing. The text cursor is annoying because all the sudden the next word goes to somewhere else in the document...

**Official eMachines M68xx Thread**

Hey, I got 6809 two months ago and recently I am starting to notice an annoying keyboard problem: when I type, it would randomly move cursor to an unexpected place somewhere else in the document. I have to move the cursor back or my document will be screwed up. It only happens with the build-in...

I would not say current 680x is outdated --- at least not for another year. :) The new 681x has slightly faster CPU (that's all), but the difference is really marginal and I doubt anyone can feel it from day-to-day apps. If only had they put 5400RPM hard drive, 512 x 1 RAM and DDR400 and 128M...
