I have DX48BT2 mobo and recently (about 4 months ago) I installed my win7 x64 ultimate retail disc with SP1 and it picked up the onboard audio out of windows update. Go check for updates and see if audio is listed. I didn't even have to think about it, just ticked the check box and installed it, rebooted had sound. Been running great for months now, nice sound in win7x64 no problems.Quote:

I picked up this board new-old-stock off ebay in feb 2013 for $48 shipped with I/O shield, and 775 chips are utterly cheap as dirt these days. This is just a desktop machine for web browsing, chatting, youtube.. etc, sometimes some java games. Maybe a few basic games if I don't feel like booting my big i7-gamer. I picked up a 3.0 Ghz wolfdale 45nm 6MB xeon dual core chip for $12.55 shipped used off ebay and have it in here with some spare mushkin ddr3-2400 I have left over from my x58 i7 gamer (saved back for quad channel later). I have it clocked up @ 475 FSB @ 8x = 3.8 ghz CPU & DDR3-1900, 2x4GB sticks (8GB total) running perfectly stable with a minor voltage bump on CPU & MCH on air cooling no problems. No BSOD's, no crashes. I don't have any problems with it and it's a awesome little system, especially for $61. Loving this little board. I did flash it up to the latest bios off the intel website when I first got it. BTW usb floppy drives boot fine on this machine for bios flashing. I don't do gaming full time on this machine so it just has a pair of HD 5670's in crossfire (Only using them because I found both of em together on ebay for $40 total shipped), nothing amazing really. And 4 x 32 GB intel Sata-II enterprise SSD's in raid-0 with the onboard raid (found for $20 each on ebay with free shipping). And a single 2TB WD black for extra storage.
Great deal, man!!
When I think of the money I spent back when I bought this baby :-(
I'm curious regarding the next enthusiast platform, X99?
X99 and Haswell-E available from Q3'14.
8 core, 4ch DDR4 2133, 30 PCIe 3.0 lanes.
Guess what?! Socket 2011-3 - yes, revision 3 of socket 2011. Not compatible with "old" 2011!!!
Intel at GDC
Aswell-E
Broawell
Devil,s canyon - haswell on steroids, yaicks!!
Where's Haswell-E and X99?
This time I think I'll shift in a (somewhat) different direction though.
