no proplem with window vista. dp35dp is good board but don't have floppy drive connection is bad for install window XP.
I updated the controller and it's the same thing. And the equalizer has no presets on it (rock, hip-hop, dance.etc) it's completely empty and you have to set things up yourself. It has very little to work with, only gives you the option of having it set up for either 5.1 or 7.1, which sucks when you are using headphones.
I'm a gamer and, according to reviews and advices on the net, this might not be the best choice for a gaming computer. I have this set of Logitech 5.1 speakers that I used on my previous computer and the sound is pretty neat, but for some reason the sound is very very low on this computer. Recently bought this motherboard to build my new computer.
The controller that comes with the motherboard CD for this audio card is just awful. That's why I'm totally buying a sound card.Overall I think it's a pretty good MOBO if you can't be bothered to overclock and stuff like that, just like me. However everything has been working just fine so far.
Maybe my only complaint is the built-in sound card.
Absurd.Also, Intel does not provide a boot record for the.iso so you have to copy a boot image from a bootable CD in order to make your bios flash CD bootable, this is absurd, and I haven't been able to make this work. This motherboard is another failure for Intel.The board does not support floppy disk drives, yet the RAID software is included with the motherboard package on a floppy, this is absurd.I needed to flash the bios on this motherboard and guess what, you need a floppy disk drive in order to flash the bios but the motherboard doesn't support floppies. The Intel Windows express bios software would not work because of a "internal programming error", there is no bootable.iso bios software on the Intel website for this motherboard, but intel provides files and provides links to websites that instruct you on how to make your own bootable.iso image to burn a bootable CD in order to flash the bios.
All instructions come with it, with photos, very nice packaging. It is also a Video Encoding machine, running 64bit, QUAD-CORE. God Bless U. Just write to intel directly and get a real computer engineer who know the boards inside and out.
If your machine boots slow, you need to know how to upgrad the BIOS. I recommend using Kingston Memory, but it from them directly. This board is awesome, I am running Vista 64-bit, with 8G RAM, and 2 1T drive, the board can handle up to 6T I believe. All Sata, has IDE if you need that for your CDROM. It has optical output, 6 UBS, and 2 FIREWIRE. Intel board and chip is a great combo, if you need help you don't need to contact DELL in india.
You must READ about the RAM, only use 1.8V ram, this is NOT an overclocking board. Expect to flash the bios to get it to run good in 64-bit mode. As i said I bought 2, one is a dual-core, and one was a QUAD. YOu need to purchase a simple fan also, 775 compat. It also has External SATA link, and Network built on. the QUAD chips beat dual-core like nothing you know. All has VMWARE accellartor which you can turn on in the BIOS.
Wonderful board, I have had no trouble with it. No more spending 10$ a month for Tivo or such. Mine is a MEDIA MACHINE< which records shows 24x7. I run an NVIDIO 500M card, the graphics are incredible, This is my DVD which I record shows, and encode them, burn to DVD with added Huadgepauge card.
If you're more the DIY type, be certain that your Latin pronunciation is spot-on before attempting to power your system on, and skip any steps involving the sprinkling of holy water.Seriously, however, I cannot possibly recommend this product. You can make it work -- use only 1.8v DDR2 RAM, update to the latest BIOS, and get the number of a good exorcist in your area. Yes, it really is that bad.As you should expect, there are no options to overclock your system, if you're interested in such.This board gets two stars because my system boots.
It shows.The BIOS has few options for tweaking, and is unusually slow to detect drives on boot. This would be a non-issue if the display weren't inexcusably blurry compared to VGA output of a typical graphics card. Short version: Intel treats its motherboards as reference designs for other vendors to polish into real products.
To get an idea what you system will look like with Intel Integrated graphics, take a screenshot apply a 3x3 Gaussian blur in Photoshop, GIMP, or the editor of your choice. Consider instead a quality board from another vendor, such as ASUS or Gigabyte. It takes more than half a minute to POST even with the "quick post" enabled.This board will only accept 1.8v RAM modules.
Unlike other boards, there's no way to increase the memory voltage or fine tune the timing to accommodate some modules.There is no DVI connection for the integrated graphics, only has VGA.
