VIA Chipset Problem... ATTN ALL GURUS

[Guest byoung]

George,I just purchased a mobo w/ Intel 845 chipset. I'll also be switching processors to the Pentium 4 2.5 GHZ. According to CH Products the 845 chipset is the one they use on their show computers and have had no problems. It has performed solid as a rock.I've always liked Intel, but this time tried to be too cheap. Better to save up the extra money and buy the best.I am selling my mobo w/ processor to my cousin who has a business. It will work fine there..Take care!Barry

George,Which motherboard do you have?I would call CH Products Tech Support right now and speak to Micheal or Nathan. Barry

I have the Gigabyte P4 Titan 667 (GA8PE667) with the Intel 845PE chipset.And I'm NOT going to spend another cent for new hardware...The problem is the drivers, I confirmed it, I even reinstalled Win98SE to do that... And that's final for me...If they don't fix it, I won't buy CH anymore.George DorkofikisAthens, Greece
