Yes I have

When I stick two memory chips in the MOB, the system gets hung up again wanting a floppy drive. When it is running on just one stick of memory, it boots up to XP with out any problem at all.

If the MOB erases the bios when you have two sticks of Memory, but works great with just one stick in there, would it be bad Memory stick or bad MOB?

well, just to update, it isn't the mother board per say.

I attatched a Floppy drive and wham everything else went smooth as a baby's bottom.

So far so good, doing all the driver updates today...

thanks for the Help Jamie

Yeah, just bought all the parts this weekend. So it is still under the return policy.

NOOOOO!!!!!!!! drat damit drat! I so feared you would say that

I don't have a floppy drive

Tried that. Even left the battery out for 30 mins

On the first boot, I continually get this message:

"Bios rom checksum error

Detecting IDE ATAPI device

Detecting Floppy drive A media
Drive A error. System halt

And it just sits there....

Okies, thanks for clearing that up!

Thanks again for your help and advice!

So, what is so upgradeable about the P35 if it isn't the memory?

Is the only difference in the P35 and the 650i the type of ram it would take? From DDR2 to a DDR3?

Cool! Thanks Jamie.

How upgradeable is this system going to be? Whats its life expetency as far as keeping up with any new games on the horizons?

Ah, the Ram.

Okay, that was another confusing issue. You say get "I recommend Corsair XMS2 CL4."

This is the list of all the Corsair XMS2 I found on newegg and none of them say "CL4"
Memory...

Hello,

First I have to say, this forum and Rob's web-site is a godsend! I have been wanting to build a PC for the longest time but was also unsure if I could actually do it. I know PCs from a user...
