[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 920158, member: 75318"] Well, eventually went for an Asus M5A99X EVO. Got it all set up this morning and it is running well. Put the old HD5550 graphics card in for setup purposes. One problem is getting the RAM to run at 1600Mhz - currently running at 1333Mhz, and setting at 1600Mhz stops the system from POST'ing and then booting up. The BIOS sees it as 1600Mhz and allows the settings to be changed, but for some reason it doesn't like it. o_O A great performance increase too with the Phenom II x6 3.2Ghz. I have got Handbrake Batch Encoder doing some file conversions. It used to take about 50 mins to do a 1 hour, standard def .ts file to .m4v - it is now doing them in about 8 mins. The Frames Per Second conversion rate has gone from about 35fps to around 135 ish. :) (y) Just need to get the other bits and re-cable to sat dish and aerial :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
