Well for everyone who has been helping me over the last month avem and shadow I think the most. Anyway, I am throwing in the towel and trashing the GA-EP35-DS4 Ive done everything I and others can think of and I got absolutely ZERO help in any way, shape, or form from the Gigabyte tech "support". I just cant handle the constant BSOD and error after error. I have resorted to using the local library computers while mine is down to conduct business....shameful.
Anyway, Now what I am doing is finishing my system by choosing the motherboard around the rest of the system. I want to overclock, I play highend games. i don't do video editing or anything like that...games, my business, internet thats about it...but I want first and foremost STABILITY!!!!!!! I don't want to have to stand on one leg while chewing gum and drinking a glass of water and hum the National Anthem to get BIOS to install properly. lol SO what we are building around:
Thermaltake Armor+
Q6600 (GO)
Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme w/ Scythe 1600rpm fan
EVGA 8800 GTS (92) 512
and lastly Dun Dua Duhhhhhh....Vista 64 Home Premium...
I want to use at least 4 gigs of memory and am looking very hard at OCZ memory. The support I have gotten from them has been Grade A!!! And they were helping me with Crucial memory and didn't even suggest to swap until I specifically asked...thats a class act in my book, good business. So there ya have it. My budget is around 250 for the board, id like to go lower but meh...the Mainboard as I can now truly attest is the most important component by far. Thanks every one so much for your time!!! Any suggestions will be most appreciated!!!
