"Upgrade your life" I got my upgrade today, WOW! This shit is fast! I'm going to put together some benchmarks and post them.

Here is a word of warning to all of you who might get a Gigabyte board anytime soon. If you are putting anything faster then a 1500+ in there, MAKE SURE TO CHANGE THE FSB JUMPER! I have a 2100+ and it would only register at 1500 cause of this, my brother had the same issues with a GigaByte board and I could never figure it out! I had to bump mine up to 133MHZ.

Also, something that pissed me off, my board has 2 USB 2.0 ports under the KB/Mouse ports like every other one, but it also has the PCI plate with 4 more with it, well I have that but there is NO PLACE to plug it in on the mobo. I'm pissed! I was looking forward to having 6 USB 2 ports. I tried calling support, no one was in, I doubt anyone will be there til the 2nd or 3rd. Anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: Scratch that, I found it. It was throwing me off because the place you plug them in is huge compared to the plug. Now, I get my Firewire card installed, it's just a little too wide. Hmm, might have to get the saw zaw out!

Back to gaming! I'm on break damn it! Work can wait! Posted by chris at 08:06 PM Hardware • (0) Trackbacks
