    Which Asus? P5W vs. P5K/P5K3?

    I want this build to last 2-3 years. Basically, I had been set on a P5W-DH Deluxe But now with DDR3 on the horizon, i'm eyeing the P5K3. Should I bother with the P5K3 and DDR3, or just go with P5K and DDR2? How exactly is the P5K > P5W? Which should I purchase for the longer run? Thanks.

    Dead GFX or Dead Mobo?

    Ok, I took out the 6600GT and booted the PC, I get the beep code for EGA (Enhanced Graphics Accelerator) error. This indicates that it is a problem with the GFX card because the mobo fired up once I took the card out. Any idea what I can do for a faulty GFX card?

    Building Future Proof Rig (Asus & 680i)

    I'm looking at the Asus P5W DH or the new P32N-SLI E (680i) chipset. I'm a casual gamer, but I feel like SLI is going to be the norm come 2-3 yrs down the line. I don't build new rigs very often (once every 4 years), so I want to build something to last me that long. Anyway, being a casual...

    Don't see anything..

    I bought an antec true power 2.0 550 watt psu and that did the trick. I connected the pin to my mobo so I can monitor the fan speed, can I set that, or is it just for monitoring purposes only?

    Don't see anything..

    The whirring noise is not from the video card, because I still heard it before I installed the card. I'll check, but if the PS fan died, would that cause the PS to not produce enough power for the vid card?

    Don't see anything..

    Been hearing a 'whirring' noise from my PC for quite a while now. Sounds like a fan is dying or something. Anyway, today I turned on the PC and there is nothing on my monitor. That is, it doesn't show a boot screen, or anything. However the PC is working because if I let windows load (IE just...
