How good/bad is ASUS P5E mobo onboard card

From what I am reading, the audio is onboard, the motherboard just adds a break out box like card. Barring the memory leak, which I might add should be fixed in time. The dedicated sound card should outperform the onboard video. I did a few tests with Oblivion when it first came out between...

*The Official* Abit IP35-E (Ed. 2)

I bought 2x2GB DDR2 6400 sticks from ADATA 1.8v modules and the system runs extremely stable. I was a bit leery at first since I rarely stray outside of Crucial for name brand, but at the time the sticks were so cheap I could not pass them up. I have not regretted my purchase one bit one year...

*The Official* Abit IP35-E (Ed. 2)

Tungfree, Only time I have personally experienced similar issues was when I had a pair of DDR sticks go bad. My cure for this issues was RMA the memory, getting the new pair, and then finally re-installing Windows. I am not exactly how this effected my XP pro install, but somehow it did, and...

ABIT is supposedly supporting their products for another 3 years. I have not tested this theory as I have no personal need.

The board as I recall was not designed for quad cores. I do not remember where I read this, but I am fairly certain.

Great board. I love it. Overclocked my E6550 to 3.4 Ghz no problem; Stock voltages, and cooler. Cut that down to 2.8Ghz for 1:1 with the memory during the summer, and it has been running that since. No problem what-so-ever(hardware related that is). Now, since we've gone 100% RE (renewable...

Are you happy with your upgrade to an E8500 or Q6600? I wanna know

I dont know how to break this to you guy, but the reason a dual core performs better is because of all the little behind the scenes stuff the OS does(like copying data from disk to memory etc) is no longer bound to a single core. This means that the OS is no longer starved, or as starved for...

Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

Lots of people just dont seem to get the fact that disk block sizes / TCP/IP packet sizes do not jibe well. In a real world scenario, you would be extremely lucky to get a steady 50MB/s over GbE from HDD on all file sizes. IF you're using a large RAM disk, or extravagant caching scheme, then...

P35 motherboard good or wait for something else?

Ill second the ABIT IP35-E as being an extremely good overclocker. Right now my IP35-E is running my E6550 at 3.33Ghz with stock cooling and voltages. OVerclocking was extremely simple: drop FSB:DRAM ratio to 1:1, bump MCH up one notch, and set external clock to 475Mhz. 1 Ghz OC in about 2...

Abit IP35-E Not Booting? No Juice at all! HELP

This happened to me too with my IP35-E. You need to make sure you have your Windows XP CD inserted, so XP can update the drivers correctly. I am XP Pro SP2 x32, but there should be little difference concerning drivers so long you have the proper x64 drivers to install.

Your expert advice ? (ip 35 pro or GA-P35-DS4) ?

The IP35 Pro seems to have issues with the larger Raptors HDDs, and I have seen some posts indicating that there may also be issues with the X-FI sound cards. That being said, I own an ABIT IP35-E, which aside from all the bells and whistles, it is supposed to be a equally capable board. If...

ABIT IP35-E, IP35 Pro, or ASUS P5K DELUXE for E6420

Wow, driverheaven's web page REALLY needs work. Anyhow to the OP, take a gander of the user reviews of the ABIT IP35 Pro on newegg, 37 reviews, 5 eggs average. Dont just take the 5 egg average, read the reviews and see what the people are saying. I personally hold the user reviews in higher...

IF you had a ROM reader/writter with JTAG capabilities, I'd say go for it. Only thing then would be if you somehow burned out the chip in the process, which I do not think is possible(unless you accidentally short a few pins out somehow).

erratic cpu usage...any help appreciated

Like one of the above users already said, open task manager, and click the CPU usage tab twice, and the running proccesses will be listed by CPU usage. google the offending executable(s) to check its virus status. Typicaly downloading programs from the random webpage that 'claims' to be a virus...
