Not a good start

I need my G19 upon boot up choice!!!

However ... once you lose the horrible Gigabyte boot screen, its all much easier to understand ... I've been using Asus for too long ... I guess?

Installing Win XP now as part of a dual boot, Win 32/Win 7 64 dual boot, with a GTX 285 arriving tomorrow (will buy a second one for SLI later) Win 7 goes onto my SSD before even XP video drivers are installed.

But ...

I've been worried about all these horror storys of I7 boards only seeing 2GB of 6GB.

Hope mine see's all 6GB.

Fingers crossed

Later.
Hmmm, my USB keyboard works fine with the F7 BIOS, it is only the F8f BIOS that I had problems with my keyboard..

Also, I wouldn't worry to much about the RAM problem, you should be fine I would have thought..

I still haven't got around to testing my new processor yet, so I don't know if the 4GB issue will be sorted or not, but someone sent me a PM on here yesterday, and they were experiencing the exact same issue as me, and they also have the UD5, and he replaced his mobo, CPU, RAM and PSU, and it would still only see 4GB, anyway, it turns out that it was his HSF that was causing the problem.. it was fitted to tight, so he refitted the cooler making sure not to screw it down as tight, and it cleared the problem up!!!

I was actually starting to think it could have been something to do with my HSF tht was causing the problem, but I never wanted to say anything because it sounds kinda stupid, I mean, you wouldn't think that a HSF could cause a problem like this...

I should be putting my rig together again tonight, I will post back on here how I get on with the new CPU...

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with batch 3910A*** processors, are they good clockers??

Can't seem to find anything on here regarding these chips..
