RE: SSD

I have one Intel X25-V 40GB and one Intel X25-M 120GB. Both seemed to work well right off the box. No problem so far. Maybe with BIOS mismatch causing problems I wouldn't even notice.
 
Ok, I had planned on building this weekend during the Packers game. I'm glad I didn't as I would have been throwing parts. My latest question is I am thinking of putting it together and adding an SSD later in the week or next week and putting my Win 7 64bit on it. The HD in now runs Win XP. Can I later put in the SSD with Win 7, make it the main drive and still access the other drive with XP? I got the impression it might be a problem.
Thanks

Just disconnect the hdd when you install the new OS on the SSD.
Install the new SSD and the new OS.
Get that setup first.

Once completed, connect the HDD and just select the boot order in the Bios settings.
You can access files from the hdd while running the ssd with w7

Looking forward to it Tiki. I have the same mobo and RAM. My 1st mobo gave me a bit of a headache; I got it replaced and it all works perfectly now.

Christmas present for a girl friend? LOL :D Looks good! I like the Christmas decorations! ;)

Only if Santa comes my way... I need 3 x i7-2600k.
 
Thanks for the input! I will try to post a pic of the final result. It may force me to pay more attention to bundling wiring and making it look neat. My current configuration is a little messy.
 
Ok Machine is completed and Windows7 64 installed with the NVIDIA Video drivers, Asus p8p67 pro rev 3.1 Motherboard Divers and utilities.

I have just flashed to Bios to the latest version from 0105
to newest version 2103.
I will get images of the step by step of the build.
Will not be the great detail of first build, but will cover everything :cool:
