| 1170023 | 2011-01-16 21:17:00 | use ! .Bit disappointed it was so easy!! The difficulty is when they don't boot, then it gets a tad tricky. Ive seen enough give issues that its always a relief when she fires up for the very first time. |

| 1170025 | 2011-01-16 22:59:00 | And another thing, don't forget to disable the floppy drive in the BIOS or Windows 7 Setup won't launch. :p What? I've got a floppy drive and Windows 7 installed just fine. By recommendation of MSI I had to turn off the HPET to actually get it to work in Windows 7, though. XP had no problem with it, though I think XP may ignore the HPET altogether. Or are you talking about people who have no floppy drive but it's still enabled? |

| 1170027 | 2011-01-16 23:25:00 | The most annoying thing with Win7 Ultimate is bitlocker on some systems. If it doesnt boot after the first reboot (when you install it), you'll have to start all over again, then make the partitions bigger. So, (it cant create the partition for bitlocker), so Win7 will install at all | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1170029 | 2011-01-17 03:32:00 | Well, it looks like I should be capable of doing the job. Sweet. :cool: I don't play games so have been happy with my PC until now but the latest version of ProShow Gold has brought it to its knees. Ironically I have had to use the program on my laptop which has a dual core processor and was happy with that arrangement until browsing the local PC store recently. Got chatting with the salesman and he said that a customer who had a PC built just before Xmas could now process his videos in 30 minutes, down from 10 hours!! :stare: :stare: Granted it cost a grand more than I am prepared to pay but the Phenom II X6 processor and 8GB RAM eats huge videos for breakfast. :cool: |

| 1170030 | 2011-01-17 13:22:00 | It's not that different from when I assembled my Pentium 120 with Voodoo 1, slightly less complicated I guess (unless you go for watercooling or an after market HSF) | Deimos (5715) | ||
| 1170031 | 2011-01-17 19:21:00 | Granted it cost a grand more than I am prepared to pay but the Phenom II X6 processor and 8GB RAM eats huge videos for breakfast. :cool: Yesterday I finally had the time to install a Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition, with 8 G RAM Corsair Vengeance, on an ASUS M4A88TD-M, and Win7 64. Everything went smoothly, no difficulties at all, booted up 1st time and Win7 installed just fine. Sweet. I look forward to doing some video encoding, to see the improvement over my 6 yr old P4 system. :D The Phenom cpu heat sink has copper pipes - not sure if that means some form of liquid cooling but it does look impressive. BTW, I nearly got the Phenom II X6 but a couple of sites with detailed analysis showed that there was negligible difference with the X4 when doing video and sound encoding. But I must say that having a hex core :thumbs: is nevertheless very nice. |
