Same old same old

I did some Googling and found that apparently for some reason the UD5H doesn't support Tri-SLI. The UD5H would be a cheaper route and I don't think there's going a massive difference between two and three 480s. Remember that three 480s will run hot too, so you'd need very good airflow.
 
Well there is more going on than just games. But I may just have to settle. I don't know. I will figure it out later.

Thats the issue. no one else has PS/2 support at this point. I may just have to get a old system, which is expensive (more power, probably needing some work) to play with reactOS. I know it does not work with either of my laptops, both of them have keyboards that read to the OS as USB. :(

If I was going to get a better board that is not a p67 with PS/2 I would go for a ud5h in Z77. But It has less PS/2 than the extreme 4 Z77 that I had, and no floppy or ATA100.

You can get PS/2 to USB device. I think it can be found on amazon.com.

Hmm... ReactOS should be able to support USB?

Why should it be able to? Its a operating system that doesnt include usb drivers. But, wolfe, look at this: http://www.reactos.org/wiki/USB_Stack It sounds like it can support keyboard and mice for USB out of box. But I barely read it, so I dont know. Also, if your still neeed ps2 ports, dont most boards have 1 PS2 port, than get a splitter? But reactOS might not work with a splitter, ask on thier forums.

Have you turn on USB legacy in BIOS setting?

as far as I know there are no settings to change with USB in my BIOS at all. thanks you. Byte, you advice is ignored as you were told earlier in this thread.

and from that site:
The USB stack is the component which provides the communication between USB devices and their respective drivers and applications. It consists of multiple files, each with a distinct function. The USB stack in ReactOS is currently limited.

What works and not
Mouse support has been tested in WinXP with ReactOS USBOHCI + HIDUSB + HIDCLASS + MOUHID + HIDPARSE and is working. The USB + HID stack also works in ReactOS.
Basic Keyboard support need a 2/3 functions implemented (coming soon).
USB Mass storage support - Needs mountmgr / partmgr driver implemented. Will also need mountvol and other missing PnP stuff. Update:

okay, decided to keep my case and go ATX, all be it plans will only allow for 2 480s now. Guess that is compromise.

know I want:

not sure here. Have no idea about speakers. Well other than they reproduce electrons into waves that create a sound and use a 3.5mm jack.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121050

would I need a sound card? Looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132053 but I really don't want to spend money on it if I don't need it quite yet. There is more in life than computers after all.
 
As you know I quite like that board, so that is a good choice there definitely. :)

I don't really know an awful lot about speakers and sounds card but I'll try to help. Those speakers look good, but if you are going to get a sound card for them, you'd probably want a better/more expensive card. You may as well just stick to the onboard sound for the time being and if you find you need a sound card, get a higher-end one.
 
Yeah, I'm kinda guessing too. As you're spending almost 400 bucks on a set of speakers, I'd say you wouldn't see the difference between the onboard sound and 50 buck sound card really.

I'm not sure how many members here know an awful lot about sound, perhaps speak to Salvage-this? I have a feeling he may know something.

That motherboard don't have Dolby Theater Home, so the sound onboard would limited sound wave a bit since it have no Dolby bass and Dolby Logic II.

So if you want to have good sound, dolby, DTS connection and amp headphone.

Here is this card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102042

For computer speaker, I advice this speaker. It is great speaker and is strong. They can running for more than 10 years at highest volume. If you want cheap computer speaker, be careful some of those cheap speaker can broke easily.

If you want theater system, Samsung and sony is good brand.

PS. Most time you can look at amazon.com for good deal at low price.

No offense intended, but wtf is dolby. I mean I see it advertised on some of my games, and my TV has it, but what makes it better? Is it worth the money to support it?

I like that Asus card, but it needs a PCIe power. So I will need to wait till I can get a new power supply as both my PCIe powers are tied up in my 480.

Okay, let me put it like this. If it is over $50, I am not buying it from Amazon. I have not had good luck from them in the past.
What is wrong with the 5.1 system from newegg? the main thing is that it is mountable with machine screws, and uses standard speaker cable so I can get it up easy and if necessary, get longer cables from a local store. a 2.1 system is not wanted at all. They are gutless and not worth investing in.
 
I will anwser one question there, and though Im not completly sure, i am pretty sure:Dolby compatible onbiard sound isnt worth it.I am pretty sire it would only make a audiable difference with nice dolby compatible speakers, which you would be buying a sound card for, anyways.
