Looks nice patch.... sucks the board is wasted ....

Foxconn for 95 sounds like it would be cool ....

Great when the kids get into it, Mine are meh whats the point dad as long as it will run utube and Maple Story .....

Love building stuff myself .....

In for the results when this is done ................ :thumbsup:

I hate Vista.

I forgot you can't do a clean install with an unformatted hard drive.....grrr. At least I can't. Maybe one of you gurus can.

Kids like the interface though, and I have a spare Vista key. Don't want to buy another 7 key right now.

I'm not taking the hard drive out to format it on another comp, since it's buried and hard to get to behind the radiator/pump. I guess I'll just load XP for now...

Stupid microsoft stupidness.

Edit: Stupid Patch stupidness. The SATA cable had come loose.......

Why not use Tiny 7? It's free and available here...

Still need a key to use 24/7, no? And I don't want to deal with troubleshooting stuff that won't work on a stripped OS. Especially since the kids like all the extraneous crap like the vista sidebar....

I know you're thinking I'm prematurely calling it stable without a Vantage run.......:headspin:

Still looking for one of my CD's.....

i can upload a file which makes windows Genuine ;)

No key needed for Tiny 7 and no issues using it I have seen. All it takes is a quick install and try it...cost = zero. :) ( I doubt the kids give a hoot about the bench's or overclock's...me thinks this is really your's. :taunt:)

:blush:

Have you seen how long it takes a rig to boot at 3.2Ghz? Who has time to sit around waiting for that crap?

Edit: On a side note, I'm enjoying this Katana. Kind of fun to play with something non-ASUS or non-EVGA again. Too bad the latest official BIOS doesn't seem to allow changing the multi on the 655K, unless I'm missing some setting. Maybe I'll hunt for a beta bios.....you know....for the kids.

I use this on mine... http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...st-review.html

With a small 32GB ssd it is pretty fast.

I'm no artisan. But it matches what I envisioned just fine. :)
