How did you find the forums?
Google, looking 4 a solution to the" Asus m3a no Vidio on first power up" problem .

What system are you running?

My $600.00 Dollar Rig
AMD 64 X2 5000+Black @ 3.31 Ghz
XFX 8800GS
ASUS M3A2
Corsair TWIN2X 5400PRO DDR2, 667.7Mhz, 2048MB CL4, matched
Western Digital 36 GIG Raptor Drive
650w 22a Earthwatts Power Supply
Reaper Mouse
Z-Board Keypad

Are you an Intel or AMD Fan Boy/Girl?

AMD gave me a cool T-Shirt
Other than that i have little preference
atm AMD has the best bang for the buck.
On the other hand if left alone in a electronics store over night
i'd grab intel .
Did i mention the shirt has a spider on it = )

What type of gaming are you into?

EVE Online !!
in the last few months POTBS , Quake Wars , & Tabula Rasa
also looking forward to Spore in September

Are you an overclocker?

Just learning . took me 6 days of Benchmarks ,Gooleing , Stress Tests & a hand full of Quaaludes
to get a 24 hour stability tested system within exceptable heat limits.
But man when you get it dialed in just right . BOO YA feels good .

Browsing your forums,it looked to me like you have a lot of good guys/gals
so thought i'd sign up and say hi

well, that was once the case, but at this point, you really get what you pay for, and if you dont already know, wolfdale Intel is the only way to go, it can overclock more than you'll ever imagine

welcome to the forums btw :)

No argument from me .
But even a hard core intel loyalist would be impressed with a sub $100 dollar unlocked processor @ 3.3 Ghz
1.45 volt ,51c full load on air . (ie AMD 64 x 2 5000 Black Edition ) me thinks
Also taking into account the free shirt . = )

I'm looking forward to spending many hours reading the forums
and thxs for the welcome
