682293	2008-06-26 11:08:00	I think the sequence you quoted may be RAM failure on some boards. No harm in checking is there?	Agent_24 (57)
682294	2008-06-26 20:48:00	Yes I agree, will chech that out. Thanks for your input too.	nodrog (7115)
682295	2008-06-26 22:11:00	I have had a sqiz around and thought maybe AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+, dual core, socket AM2, 2.6GHz Asustek M3N-H HDMI and a couple Gb ram Sounds OK. You don't need a high end board, the CPU is likely to be the most expensive of the 3 components so yeah, An AMD is likely to be cheaper.	pctek (84)
682296	2008-07-15 06:25:00	Thanks for input from all. I have bought the following Asus M3N78-EH AMD 4800X2 1Mb L2 Gigabyte GV-NX96T512HP 2Gb DDR2 The power supply to the graphics card is a 2 into 1 cable allowing connection to 2 sources of power. I guess you only use 1 as there are no instructions in the manuals or installation guide. I thought 1 would be the supply for another card maybe.	nodrog (7115)
682297	2008-07-15 10:29:00	I have it all plugged in and have a problem, can't get display settings other than 800x600 4 bit, any suggestions please.	nodrog (7115)
682298	2008-07-15 11:29:00	Have you installed the graphic card drivers? You will get that till windows recognizes the card.	DeSade (984)
682299	2008-07-15 20:00:00	Yes drivers are in. Found out what the problem is. Had to turn off all antivirus and then re-install. I'm really impressed with the results. Not a top end system but streets ahead of the old one. Thanks everyone for advise and input.	nodrog (7115)
