Xeons' are meant for the Enterprise. They usually are just for servers and top shelf workstations. The use ECC (error correction code) registered ram (search Google) which protect valuable data from memory errors. You wont find a Micro ATX board that uses Xeons, only Full ATX and Extended ATX boards...

Yes, it says so in the product's instruction booklet. Its written in "engrish" but is understandable!

I'm just guessing here, but could it be a conflict with the integrated or headphone autodetection forcing stereo? Also, what's the benefit of PCIE x1? The card will have a smaller connector but the board size and performance will stay pretty much the same. Because current i680 boards have only one ...

**UPDATE** I had an old... OLD PCI Creative Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 card SB0200 (PCB reads (R) 2002!!!) Popped it in, found drivers on the net and got it working both on Vista and XP. Success, no noise! For some reason, although its a 5.1 card, Windows recognizes it as being a stereo only card. Must...

Any information about the P182SE pretty much applies to the P182 since, its the same case!!

Sice you "only" got one GPU, and "only" two drives, they should fit easily in the P182/SE with no problems.

I do not play games, well not any new games, LOL look at my system specs!!

I do however play DVDs and lossy audio formats at a regular basis so a good soundcard is a must I guess.

What about all the newer MBs with audio riser cards etc? They any better than "normal" integrated sound?

the railing you did is the stock method? If by stock you mean that the parts that came with everything were used instead of buying anything else then yes. The Kama Bay uses the hardware it came with and the rails are the ones that cane with the case. I eyeballed it and tried mounting it till I git ...

I can hear my mouse... thru my speakers!!! WTF

I have living with this for some time. When the Windows volume is all the way up and the powered speakers are also high, the noise is downright silly. I can even "hear" my mouse and other electrical noises coming from the speakers. I have tried to single out the component causing the noise and no lu...

My aging P180 build

Its aging because it WAS top notch... back in 2005!! Pentium 4 3.4HT CPU running @ 3.99(originally had a 2.8HT, ran much cooler but slow!). G.Skill PC500 matched 2GB kit (1GB x 2). Asus P4P800E-Deluxe mobo, ATI X850 Pro with a ATI Silencer 5 cooler. All the fans are Antec Tricools. The PSU is an Ant...

Again, the fan used is an Antec Tricool LED. I used it because I had it already. The fan that came had a clicking noise at its operating RPM and its not adjustable in this fan (without modding of course). But maybe I just got a bad fan and you have better luck with it.

I have this item installed on a P180... on rails.

It works fine but the included fan makes a constant clicking noise. Crappy fan, nice solution for mounting a third 120mm fan in the front of a P180 case!

My computer is on the same room I sleep, Its on 24/7. I hate too much light at night. All the LEDS on my case are disconnected. The red Tricool fan I got for my P180 is driving me nuts!! All the Tricool fans at stores are lighted! Since a lot of people replace their stock fans, anyone have 2 laying ...
