ouch. .. picking the scab I see . . .
uhh . . about the asus . . well I jumped to the P5E3 Premium and so far I'm not convinced. As usual buyers remorse is telling me I should have left well enough alone, but I don't listen to my own advise. Anyway, there is just something not quite right about the asus board. It seems overly sensitive to bios settings and not posting just because and also I suspect drive corruption could be rearing it's ugly head. Nothing concrete, just a gut feeling at this point and some erratic behavior. I wish the IX48-MAX Tiger Force was out. I'd try that one instead at this pont. Asus has added so many controls to their most recent bioses that it's getting harder to just set stable yet permformance mided settings without major trial and error status. Like I said I'm not convinced. I even thought about maybe trying a 790i, but they are reporting some sata issues again like the old 680i ones maybe? and also some performance governors on certain fsb settings........................... Actually it's uglier than that it seems for the 790i (link below). . . . It's all giving me a headache.
