Same here with my Asus P5W DH.

With what motherboard/chipset, though? When I first tried it, the nForce 590 SLi I had was relatively new. Some claimed success, and I knew more or less what driver to use, but I never really messed around with it cause I didn't really care - Audigy FTW!
true, it does depend on the mobo you get. If and when I decide to upgrade my desktop, I will do a good bit of research on which one to get for the chip I want.

Hello Harq what is up
when u upgrading to quad core?
when u upgrading to quad core?
At least not until an AMD quad-core CPU comes out - which is currently looking to be the second half of '07
Hmm... I might hold off on my new system build until then...

good idea, quad core is going to be very powerful
Maybe, maybe not. But the new AMD CPUs won't be powerful just because they are quad core. The current Intel quad-core's don't have any advantage whatsoever in any non-multi threaded application (which is almost every game with the notable exception of Supreme Commander) over the core 2 duo variants.
Yea, I love my new webcam 
hmm... quadcore... If that's half as powerful as dualcore...</sarcasm>

But it also depends on the clocking speed or the processesors speed/power
Which is what I was saying - hence the reason your statement that 'quad core will be powerful' is incorrect.
On a slightly related note, Intel now has quad-core Xeons, which, when configured in a dual-CPU box, gives you 8 core 2 cores to play with

and I will not be upgrading to quad core because AMD doesn't HAVE ANY OUT YET (they may have an opteron, but I am not sure and have no time to check right now...)
I will once they are released and prices go down though, I am choosing amd because they said that the quad core processors will run on an am3 port but will be backwards compatible in an am2 port (although they will have to clock down a little...)
Any fool can use a computer. Many do.
If it is a different socket, in no way will it have to "clock down" to be backwards compatible. There isn't any clock speed limit for the AM2 socket The memory may be slower, but the CPU performance won't be any different between sockets...

Actually, the difference is that the am3 processor will have a memory controller for ddr3, which will also be able to run it with ddr2. I'm pretty sure that the processors will slow down a little to accomodate it though... not sure....
And when I said "clock down" I was referring to slowing down to handle the slower memory (I know that ddr3 has more bandwidth and lower power usage, but is it actually faster?)

Your RAM and CPU run at different speeds just fine now (thanks to multipliers), why wouldn't they in the future with DDR3? I'm not saying overall performance will be slower (due to DDR3 likely being faster than DDR2 - if not at first, but eventually), but I am saying that CPU performance will be identical.

Ok, I understand what your saying now, the cpu will run exactly the same as it would on an am3 slot, but the memory will just be able to provide more bandwidth than with ddr2, is that it?
