I was considering purchasing a Creative X-Fi sound card to go with a system I recently build around the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 motherboard. I have Logitech Z-5500 speakers. I don't game, but often listen to my CDs that I have recorded wtih Windows Media Player at192 kbps. Do you think I am...

I have a Gigabyte motherboard (GA-7VTXH) that has the sound chip on the mb. For some reason the sound device keeps stopping to work. I reload the drivers (current from Gigabyte site) and everything works. Then the next day I have no sound (even if I never turn the machine off). The device manager...

I'm planning to build a new system with the GA-965P-DQ6. I've read about some memory compatibility issues with pre-F4 Bios revisions. I'm worried about getting a board with an older bios and not being able to upgrade the bios since I don't have any other memory laying around to play around...

This one has me stumped. I build systems all the time, and have 4 orders for Core 2 Duo systems with the new Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 motherboard. I got 2 of the motherboards from Newegg and the other 2 from ZipZoomFly. I have an E6300, E6400 and 2 x E6600 processors to go with them, along with...

I'm considering building a pc and after looking on the Gigabyte website I like the look of the GA-M59SLI-S5 but would like to know other peoples opinion of this board, or if there is a better alternative to it TIA :o)

I'm hoping that someone from Gigabyte reads this. This is a continuation of my reports about the new GA-965P-DS3 that I got today. The bios has one characteristic .... I'm confident in calling it a bug ..... that is very annoying. This is the F5 BIOS. This motherboard has CPU fan speed...

We've been discussing the GA-986P-DS3 for several days, in particular the posts by Samson, Obtuse and myself. I promised a status report when my board came, and the board arrived about 2 hours ago, so here is my first and very, very preliminary report. At least one more report will follow...

Hi all and TIA, Have installed XP sp2 on a new system with 2x 320gig SATA drives in Raid mode mirrored.OS all ok once drivers were loaded but the Pioneer DVR-111D comes up in the Raid Bios POST and not in windows. It is connected to the IDE and I had to use it in an external USB case to...

Hi there, I'm new to this group, I hope someone can help. Just inherited a PC with a GA-7VAX motherboard; it has an internal modem in one of the PCI slots - this is the only PCI slot inhabited. The modem is reported by Windows XP as working (it's a Best Data modem) and as far as I can...

I am building a new system to replace my current system. I am looking at the GA-965P-DS3 with a Intel Core 2 Duo. I hope to reuse much of my existing system, case, ps, drives, most of which have been upgraded in the last year to try to get a little more life out of my old system... The big...

For some reason since I changed video cards, now when ever i download or copy any files locally, downloaded or over my LAN my pc freezes completely forcing a hard reset. I recently changed from an ATI AIW X800XT (this never happened with that card installed) to a Gainward 7800 GS+ (AGP). Seems...

I see the DS4 for sale at nearly every outlet in the UK, but no reviews for it. What's so different from the DQ6? GA-965P-DQ6 http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=2295 GA-965P-DS4...

Dilemma time. Mainboard has header for S/PDIF cable. No cable comes with mainboard. Manual says to contact retailer to order one. I contact retailer. Retailer doesn't respond to simple question: do you carry said cable and what is its price. Each reply gets stranger and stranger. Repeatedly I am...

I'm getting ready to install WindowsXP on a system with a new GA-965P-DS3 motherboard. It has SATA-II ports (4) from the Intel ICH8 chip as well as SATA-II ports on Gigabyte's own IDE/SATA-II Controller. I'm only going to install one drive at this time. Are there any factors which might affect...
