Hi, Does anyone know where I can purchase the Asus A7V8X mobo in the UK? I was told by a local dealer that he contacted the Asus rep and that board has been discontinued.

Hi, I have a P4PE main board and I'm using two double-sided 512Mb DDR333. The problem is that, if I use only one DDR on bank 1 everything works fine.

Hi All, Just a word of thanks to everyone in the group. Been researching here since last February. Decided to wait to see how the Springdale boards faired, and with the great reviews of the P4P800 finally committed myself and installed it last weekend.
