Hmm...

Is it one of those 2 that are listed on your screenshot? The 20GB one?


If you don't need any of the data on there, Delete Partition then format it.

it's the 40 gig one...I'm almost tempted to delete the partition

Make sure you have the jumper on the slave pins on the back of the second drive.

That's very strange that the new one is showing up first...

Try setting them both to Cable Select...

Looking at that, i have its so called 'predecesor' the A7N8X, and that thing is the prime example of rock solid reliablility.

I was also considering the A8N-SLi. Which is around $60 more.

I dont think i will be wishing i had gone the SLI route, because with my current setup:

ASUS A8V Deluxe
A64 3000+
1024 PC2100
Radeon 9000 Pro

Anything is really a stepup from this.

Im looking to pair that A8N5X with either a 6800GT/Ultra or 7800GT, 1024 PC3200 OCz Titanium series, and a A64 3700+


I guess my question would be does someone have the A8N5X, if so how does it run and is it stable and is it really worth it that i should pay for the A8N, which from some reviews, the reliablity of that board has been kinda flakey.

I promise this will be my last post regarding Mobo's beer:

well if you want a wholle new system.. although just upgrading your memory and video card would hold you over perfectly fine for a year or 2...

Some alternatives since i haven't had any experience with the Asus board:

Epox board, used in 2 build, very impressed

Abit board, used in 1 build, impressed
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813127222

I would definately not choose a 6800 Ultra as far as the video cards are concerned. Just seems like a wast of $ since the 6800 GT is the same card just clocked slower (most 6800 GT's will over-clock to the same speeds as the Ultra). However since the 6800 GT's are 280-300.00 and the 7800GT's are 300-320.00 I would spend the extra $ and get a 7800GT. Don't forget to get a power supply thats up to the task as well. If $ is a concern I'd look at this FSP one:

I'm going to build a computer case completely made out fans some day...

lol biggrin:

So, I'm playing HL2 single player yesterday and all of a sudden I smell this strong smell that I only recognize as one thing...overheating/frying electronics.

It's that plastic-y, ozone smell that just won't go away. I didn't know where it was coming from at first. I sniffed around the computer itself...nope, not that. I smelled around the top of my 17" CRT and whoa momma...very strong smell. So, I can only assume that something is frying inside the monitor. Joy.

I'm sure playing HL2 for the first time then smelling my monitor smoldering was only coincidence, but I blame it on Gordon Freeman! The spectacled fucker!!

Needless to say, I'd like some advice on a new monitor. I'm trying to keep it under $300 CDN. I might go with a 19" CRT, as the LCD monitors are still a tad too pricey for anything 17"+.

Any suggestions?

Have a sniff around for a Mitsubishi 930SB. You should be able to get one dirt cheap because they're a few years old now. If you google for some review of it you'll see that it's highly rated.

I got a ViewSonic E90FB 19" CRT. It's such an improvement! I'm finding it a bit weird to adjust to gaming as I have more screen to scan. heh heh

Nice, I had that monitor before I got my 2005FPW.

rock:

hellfire:

2005fpw fan cluuub

GTF!

I'm looking for a new monitor, prefereably 19" and I want to spend $275 or lower possibly.

I'm looking at this Acer

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6824009067

It's 8ms, is that good for gaming or is that terrible? I've read LCD's aren't good for gaming, but I've never used one for gaming, seen one being used for gaming, so I can't decided whether to just stick with a CRT.

8ms is good for gaming 16ms or lower usually gives no ghosting in gaming, my older lcd monitor is a 16ms version and ive never noticed any ghosting.

Alright thanks, thats the info I was looking for.
