I should use for GA-965P Ultra Version 1.5a2, I'm right?

Lestat, just because you don't doesn't mean that no one is, something like 1,000,000 Downloaded and installed RC1 from MS and many MANY more dled RC2 and (like me) the Pre-RTM build. Thats like saying just cause you don't eat pie that noone does.
Oooh! New X-Fi for the OS that doesn't suck the life out of my rig!! Yes, I've played with Vista too. It's pretty, but meh...
I think everyone I know now is running a Vista OS. lol Not a single problem with it at RC2. No reason to go back to winxp :P
Which variant are you using? Which variant was you planning to upgrade to?Quote:

Have you been keeping up on the buzz some enthusiasts are having with the EULA. There's a one-time-only transfer provision in the EULA that definately needs clarification before I upgrade.
I have installed RC1 on this computer system and didn't see any problems. I didn't install any of my software so who knows what would happen if I did.
Yup I don't use Vista and am not planning to do so within a short time, performance is not better and sucks more mem (I have 1GB which should be sufficient for every OS at this time of technology man! And it is to expensive to buy RAM A.T.M.:fact: ).
Now back on topic:
I would very much like to see the new BIOS, hopefully with the D9 fix for all of you guys and with the fan fix for at least me:p: .
I've been using Vista now for arounda month if not more and I won't be going back to XP anytime soon... performance is up, memory allocation is amazing. In terms of nearly everything (except games) Vista smokes XP, I have even been playing games albeit at a reduced FPS (BF2142) but this is expected until I get some new drivers :)Quote:

Still that's so troublesome for lazy ppl like me! :stick:Quote:

Vista is still a crippling OS. there is still alot of performance that needs to be tweaked with the os
and still tons of programs to be made vista capable.
not only that it would be retarded to use an OS for 24/7 use when its just going to expire.
i have no intensions of using it for 24/7 for a very long time! i been on the beta team since prior to its release and been following it since and although they have made improvements. they are still making it the most overbloated, bulky and resource hungry os ever created.
Wow so much misinformation you guys posted, for people who like to overclock hardware, you are oblivious to the software you run on it! I only found one program that won't run on vista but not a big deal, every piece of hardware works I have and every software that i need does to. :)
Msgclb,
You are taking that way out of context, Vista EULA is exactly like winxp. You can upgrade to your hearts content, like before worst case you have to call MS to activate. This kind of bad info is from every tech site copy and pasting news a dumb blogger posts..yet no one looks at the horses mouth that said it is not any different than XP EULA. The Ultimate upgrade is also not a big deal, you can buy OEM versions of ultimate for about $200 with a hardware purchase.
Laziepig,
Not sure what software you are talking about, but I've only had one program not install on rc2, Digital signed software is only on 64bit version, it is disabled on 32bit..so not sure what problem is..
Lestat,
Windows RC2 atm is just as stable/reliable as winxpsp2 is currently. Its not bloated or resource hungry, uses little more ram than winxp does, but its more responsive than winxp is.
No point testing a vista 32bit =)
Bump for back to the topic... NEW BIOS ETA?:stick:
Naa gigabyte said "Hahahah we have your money! Now we don't need to make anymore bioses..MuwHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" err wait thats just how it feels hehhe
Must be using older hardware and not much of a gamer, eh?Quote:

I haven't lost my X-Fi in several days, appears F7a fixes the issue. I got another GB tech support email.
Basically they fogged me off and blamed Evercool saying the fan is not Intel certified, LOL...yet the fan was controlled by bios upto version F4 bios, and all of a sudden with F5/F6 it has somehow changed spec and is no longer Intel happy?
Please, it's just another BS statement...they've removed SYS_FAN control in bios and thats it, never to be seen again.
I won't touch Vista until prices drop and better driver support, and it's gonna be buggy as HELL!!
Wait and see, within the first three months there'll be like 60 patches.
Why don't you just buy a fan controller and be done with it? The DS3 doesn't power any of my fans.Quote:

Every time I try to OC I have to clear the CMOS if it :banana::banana::banana::banana:s up, and taking out the graphics card is hell when it's all tidy on the inside.
Maybe it's worth noting I'm using a Razer mouse at 500hz USB?
Do you guys ever do anything with your:
PCI-E Overvoltage Control
or
FSB Overvoltage control?
Also, what do you keep your PCI-E set to for max overclock? Auto? 103?
