New system

[Leaderz0rz]

motherboard: ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe

proccessor:AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Dual Core Processor

memory:CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Dual Channel

video card: eVGA 7800gt x2

sound card:Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic Sound Card

I also have a question regarding SLI when you are installing your OS should you only have 1 card in untill everything is installed and setup or have both connected? or does it matter?

update after some research...any opinions?

 

[Leaderz0rz]

well since there is no opinions I guess thats what I will go with..but I would like to know the answer to my SLI question if anyone could help.

i think 2 7800 are overkill save 400 bucks and just get one.

I think I read that you have to install one, install windows, install the SLI video drivers and then install the second one.

 

[Leaderz0rz]

thanks admiral

if your mohterboard dies.. asus tech support sucks.... my opinion.

 

[Aprox]

But your motherboard wont fail because Asus products kick ass.

 

[Shamus MacNoob]

Looks like a great setup .......... very nice

 

[Leaderz0rz]

Then explain to me why my ASUS motherbaord died?

I like my ASUS board. Just wish my Plextor SATA DVDRW drive would work right on it.

I too like my ASUS board. I was just stating that their tech support sucks.

Icompatibale SATA chipset?

 

[ShepsCrook]

Naaa, I got it to work. I had to uninstall the latest Nvidia IDE drivers to get it to work.

 

[dreamliner77]

Oh yea, alot of optical drives don't like the Nvidia IDE drivers.

 

[ShepsCrook]

Yeah, I found that out the long way. Burnt quite a few bad discs. Now it's working like a champ.

It's not that we don't have opinions, it's just that we're too humbled by it to comment. Sigh.
