Hi, If you disable onboard sound, you just release an IRQ, which is taken up by the discrete card. If you remove the discrete card and enable the onboard sound, that IRQ is used by the onboard chip. The only difference between a discreet card and onboard is the placement. Discrete cards are...

He's doing a clean fresh install on a new computer :D Dirk

Hi, Nice setup :D Problem is Vista. It won't install from a SATA DVD. You'll need to pop in a ATAPI drive. Also make sure in BIOS you enable the onboard SATA chip and set it to AHCI. Cheers, Dirk

Hi, What OS will he be running ? I suggest a 64bit OS and 8 GB ram, that will get him very well underway. Cheers, Dirk

NEVER ever use a windows program to update your BIOS. The M3A32 has a very good functionnal program included in BIOS, just needs an USB stick to put the downloaded BIOS file on it. Time settings and readings depend on the timezone you pointed out. Better check. Cheers, Dirk

OCZ for OC :D Cheers, Dirk

Hi, I mean, after extracting the OS, you can burn it to a CD/DVD and use it like any other setup-CD. Which gives you the possibilities to partition, format etc whatever disk needed.... Dirk

Hi, Did you check in BIOS if any settings needed to be done ? PCI-E (16x) configuration or so ? You'll only need 1 bridge. Should be connected at the connectors closest to the back of your case. Cheers, Dirk

Hi, Just a load of left-overs after removing an reinstalling Catalyst. No problem to remove. CCleaner is rather soft... Dirk
