I picked myself up one of these boards and will be building the system
tomorrow (Saturday). This will be the first time in five years that I'll
be running an AMD-based system (yay!) but I have a couple of questions...
How good is the onboard Realtek ALC655 audio that this motherboard has?
Would I be better off using my Hercules Gamesurround Fortissimo III 7.1
sound card? I only plan to use a 2.0 speaker set and/or headphones.
Secondly, I noticed that the manual says it only supports 2.5 volt DDR
DIMMs. The memory I got for it is Kingston PC-3200 CAS3 (Value RAM) and
there is a sticker on the memory which says it is 2.6v. Will this be an
issue? I phoned the store about this and the tech there said he's used
Kingston memory and hasn't come across any trouble.
Thanks!
