Hey Trung, didn't realise you were a chosen one (aussie)...

Have you checked out this mob before, I have ordered from them and they seem pretty good.

GL with the RAM

There is only one that ends with HZ from http://umart.net/au and thats the link you gave me...not too many to choose from

Choose the G.Skill http://umart.net/au/product_info.php...ucts_id=108035 or

Anyway, the price WILL be cheaper when you order. With the motherboard though... I would buy a Gigabyte GA-P35 DS3P or Gigabyte GA N650 SLI DS4 (<Can do 500mhz NB with stock volts....talk about insane) instead... yes the P5WDH Deluxe is a good board... but if you want to do any overclocking, these two that I just mentioned will simplify it.

The info was more for if you found somewhere else to look, besides umart.

2x Asus Hd 2900XT 512mb
2x 250GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 16mb

I was thinking of getting the OCZ ati crossfire edition 2x1024 kit but not many stores have it in stock...hence this thread, can anyone suggest any other possible memory that will go good with this system setup??

I have 2GB of the CrossFire Edition OCZ. It doesnt make any difference (Im not running 2 cards anyway) but the RAM is very nice and good for overclocking also

Yeah i got the p5w so i'm gonna have to do without the new p35 chipsets....but my opinion i wouldnt buy the new p35 mobos coz there so new...i'd look around the corner before firing in figuratively speaking lol

Haha yeah i'll consider it but for now i'll keep researching the g.skill lol.

Hey by any chance would you know how to hook up the front audio panel for my case to the mobo....all the connectors dont match the mobo connectors from the manual...this is going off the subject but you know alot about computers so thought i might ask lol...if you could help it would be great

You just stumbled into one of the few areas that I have little experience in. lol. I don't use on-board sound in any of my builds. If you have pics of your front panel cable, and a link to your mobo manual, I may be able to help, however.

Trung · Jul 26, 2007, 08:46 AM

ahaha cool, well i'm using onboard and its a asus p5w dh deluxe and my case is a coolermaster and not too sure the actual model...i dont have any links but i can type up the connectors for the front panel and mobo pins if that will help.

Trung · Jul 26, 2007, 08:56 AM

I'm not sure if its HD Audio or Legacy AC 97 how do you tell anyways?
Mobo connectors are;

HD Audio
a-sense2_return
b-port2 L
c-sense_send
d-sense1_return
e-port2 R
f-presence#
g-port1 R
h-GRD
i-port1 L

Legacy AC 97
a-line out_L
b-line out_R
c-MIC2_R
d-AGRD
e-MIC2_L

My Case connectors are
1-R_out
2-R_RET(on same cable as R_out)
3-L_out
4-L_RET(on same cable as L_out)
5-MIC power
6-MIC_in
7-Ground
