thanks i think i got it! yay! i justed used xp instead of ubuntu and everything turned out fine.

is there a way to format the hdd from the bios though or through a boot disc?

well i bought it new (oem) so it came w/ nothing... is there a way for me to make a bootable disk right now... i can't really format it on this comp cause sadly it is soo old it has no sata ports available... um also "a cheese danish" it doesn't way that "to boot from cd or dvd press any key"...

I just built my new computer. I can post and go to bios, but that's it. It recognizes my keyboard, dvd drive and harddrive, but everytime it normal boots, it has the DISK BOOT failure, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER... I'm trying to load up ubuntu from the disk drive, but it doesn't work...

you could run starcraft... at like max settings.

well maybe but im modding the case w/ a 18" fan lying around the house... idk if that will provide enough cooling.... it will at least cool the mobo...

its not the best but its just a regular X2 7750 be... maybe i can get it to OC well... it runs a bit warmer than duo cores i admit though.

thanks... the foxconn one looks pretty good since i'm gonna oc my processor anyway. one question though, does the ram voltage make that much of a difference?

like around 100 bucks for a mobo... i'm just doing a cheap build cause i'm going to get a laptop soon.

I just bought a set of Patriot (2x2gb) DDR2 800 Mhz ram on sale at tiger direct and i'm gonna get a new mobo too. The problem is that it says that it uses 2.1 volts for the ram... Do you have any good suggestions for a motherboard that supports 2.1 or so.... what's like the best budget am2+...
