Ok - I have just gone with the 6gb sata on the board and as you will prly know it shows up as 5gb on boot :| Oh well I can live with it for a while I guess but I feel pretty disapointed with Asus over this :cry: Now I am back to the "What next" motherboard syndrome and CPU ](*,) Thanks aga...

Thanks.
Can you explain how I do that - - can I still use sata 6gb then

Hi all, ADMIN - Not sure this is the right forum for this so apologies and please move to correct thanks [-o< I have been running my present asus board for some time with WD Raptors 600gb main and 300gb storage. I saw some very good price drops on Crucial m4 256 gb ssd at Amazon and had a gift certi...

Thanks for the reply.
Problem now solved
It seems that the bios placed my external usb hdd in number 1 position instead of my raptor drive
Hence the wrong info and inability to install!
Up and running ok on new 600gb raptor with plan to install 300gb as second store.

Hi all, I just tried installing a new asus rampage iii formula board and screwed up :oops: I had an existing install on my hd of win 7 ultimate upgrade. The drive came up as not found by the asus board but I was able to load a new install of win 7 onto the drive just the same. I had backed up all th...

Thanks for that DaddyRabbit :) I got the intel i x 950 and some corsair dominator ram (6gb) here but it was dearer ----as usual :x The asus board was good price from J&R in NY ( where sis lives) but I forgot about the tax :roll: I have problems tho ----- which I am posting in different thread ](...

Ha, So much for my waiting and see. My sister is visiting from NY and it seemed too much of a temptation to NOT ask her if she might pick up a "Rampage iii formula". So I did not resist and the board is here with me now :lol: Now I have to work out what memory and CPU to fit. Any views on ...

Thanks for that. Yes, my present stuff just about manages. Trouble was I did a check over on some site to see what type of game my rig could run and was a little choked :oops: I saw the asus Rampage formula looked good but find that it's not available in UK :evil: I will prolly need to rethink and c...

Hi all, As in the header, I've run my old Intel Bx975xbx2 for a while now and its dragging in the processor region as you will see :( Trouble is its so long since I did a revamp ( Last hd was 12months ago) so is there anything that I may fit in the Antec? I am thinking intel still - - -maybe Asus bo...

Hi skier, Well I finally nailed it after being up half the night :cry: It was down to a %$*! virus checker!! That so and so thing had somehow established a hold on any files being introduced into the system - - -namely my DVD writer :evil: I never suspected it would have re-organised iself when I pu...

Well replying to my own post :| I just checked the other hd and that works fine with the dvd drive so I guess its not a bios issue after all :? Must be this windows 7 thing as I am using vista on the other hd. I will try searching a win 7 forum but if any kind soul sees the likley culprit please giv...

Hi all, As header. I have just set up a new second sata hardrive on this m/b with my old sata hd as storage (dual boot). I also have a new plextor sata dvd . Trouble is Its now not being recognised when I load a disc :( Worked fine of course for install of windows 7 and again installing various prog...

If you RAID them, they basically turn into one disk drive, and you'd lose half of the capacity of your new 300GB! Woops that wasnt what I had in mind :shock: I really was not aware of that and thought raid was a speedy variation so thank you for your advice 8) I have the 300 raptor hooked up but as...

Hi folks, I have an existing wd raptor 150 as my main drive running vista ultimate and have just installed a new wd raptor 300 which I wish to use as my main drive with windows 7 ultimate when it arrives! I would like to use the original wd 150 as a storage option although I do have an external HD a...

Well again in reply to my post :lol: Its fixed and it was down to the power unit :evil: Not three years old but I bought a new Antec trupower 750 blue and it fired up without any problem :) I also have queried the situation with Antec in regard to warranty :| So in case anyone else has issues with s...

Again replying to own post :roll: I am begining to think this may be a power problem although I am not certain. Ive ordered a new supply unit from Antec - - a 750 true blue or something like that :roll: The reason for my thinking this is that the screech seems to come from the 880 gtx graphics/vid c...

BTW- - - I did the short wire in place of the pc switch and get same results

Well here again :oops: The earlier problem seemed to go away for some time and a new switch was not used- - - but it started again recently but before it got really bad the monitor was not being recognised on some several startups :( Then today I fire up get a screech then nada :roll: I now have thi...

"Not sure if it's relatted, but it may be related." Yeah like I said I have flu :oops: You know when you see what you wrote glaring back at you is wrong and you cant get it back :cry: Interestingly the reply from Antec advised about shorting out with screwdriver - - so thats one for latter...

Hi, I recently began to get some faulty non start responses from the switch on my P180. It would fail to engage fully after several attempts and if held in (out of frustration) I got a screech! which made me release it quickly!! :shock: I contacted Antec who firstly advised I swap over the switch wi...
