Good luck on that one... lol

I was worried when I was buidlign my current PC too - b/c one bad review sent my mind wanderin. I called Gigabyte to talk to their techs before settling on their board. Seemed like if anything was wrong with my board - they'd take care of me til they made things right.

First build went smoothe with the Gigabyte board. I'll probably build my next PC with one of their boards b/c of it.

Yeah, it was the .11 drives that had the firmware issue. If you bought a new one now, pretty sure it would have the updated firmware unless its been sitting on the rack for awhile. I would stiil get a .12 drive though, no firmware issue plus they have 500GB platers.

I am glad I bought a 10th generation Seagate 250 gigabyte hard drive. I was afraid for a moment that I had an 11th generation Seagate hard drive. The drive is still under warranty until February 2012 anyway.

A pretty basic read, but ok.

I've seen windows 7, and It looks about the same as vista. I might check into it later after it becomes the next widely used software, but for now, vista seems ok. As for 64bit, I'm going with 32bid because I've heard that 64bit isn't compatible with the majority of softwares, and all I need is 4gb of ram anyways.

Hey Pies can you contact me about your Koolance Evga x58 waterblocks please

I too agree to get 7 64 bit

Ok I've never had a compatibility issue with 64bit vista, or 7.
I've been running both old and new software and its always worked.
If you plan on using only 4 gigs it should be fine then.
Did you look at the msi 790fx board?

Yeah, I saw that one. I don't need 4 PCIex16; it would be a waste for me to get it because i would never use them all. Great motherboard though.

64-bit Windows Vista runs fine. Windows 7 is so new I don't have any knowledge of it. I would advise you to get 64-bit Windows. When you upgrade to over 4 gigabytes of RAM in the future you will be able to utlilize it with a 64-bit operating system.
