the simplest way to make it the c drive is to unplug the other two disks during the installation of windows then plug them back in again. on the other hand it doesn't actually matter what drive it's installed onmetacritical

Yeah but wount it cause problems to have windows on a partision that isn't the systen driver?

Hi! I just put togeather my PC and instaled Windows 7. But after I instaled win7 I went to format the rest of my drives and there it sayed that win7 got instaled on C:, but that the system disk is F: ... I asumed that the partision with windows on it would automaticly beacome the system drive. How can I fix this? Or do I need to?

Yeah, I took out the old RAM and put the 2 new ones in and it boots almost 30-40% faster then before. You'd think this wouldn't be a problem with the RAM, is it just with this type of board, I have never heard of this problem...

All I have on the old RAM is: Kingston HyperX 2048mb KIT DDR2 800mhz, ist 2x 1gb. And the new sticks are Kingston HyperX 2x 1gb 800mhz DDR2 CL5 (5-5-5-15). My mobo is an ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium.

thx

I've noticed that Nvidia's 680i boards have a hard time giving stable power to all four memory slots; you might have to bump the voltage up slightly to make it stable.

Okay, by how much do you recon I should incres the voltage by?

It can se the RAM, before I had 2gb and now it kan se 4gb of RAM. Hasn't it got to do with the fact that i removed the CPU and need to do a bois update?

I just installed a new heatsick and I had to remove the CPU to get the thermal paste of. And now my PC is actually a lot slower than before, do I have to update the bios or the CPU drivers to get it back to normal? I also installed more RAM at the same time. There is no heat problems with the CPU.

Any input would be appreciated!

Thx

If you upgrade to 4GB of DDR2 RAM, and a year down the line you want a CPU that supports ddr3 such as i7 or AM3 builds (generally) maybe thats inefficient as you'll have to buy ddr3? Just something to think about.polarwrath11

I will probably upgrade my mobo and CPU to when the i9 comes out and the i7 drops in price. Go for DDR3 then to.
