A fact that may or may not hold some weight is FSP made quite a few of OCZ's PSU's like the GX 6 & 700 etc. Or put another way FSP is as good as OCZ & vice versa.

It would be far cheaper just to buy a replacement BIOS chip pre flashed with the new BIOS.

Looks like a 512MB 8800GT or maybe if the budget will stretch an 8800GTS http://www.compumsa.be/scripts/foxisapi.dl...Nvidia%208800's Or maybe a 3850 3870 http://www.compumsa.be/scripts/foxisapi.dl...&N=12&titre=ATI

RAID+IDE to run RAID 0 & still be able to use the IDE for optical units.

You should be able to change the J-Micron from native IDE to Disables, AHCI+IDE & RAID+IDE.

To the best of my memory set the SATA mode to RAID or AHCI for RAID on the intel controller & set the J-Micron to native IDE.

Its good but its fairly rare in the UK, its expensive, I haven't seen a lot of people using it & some boards don't like booting CAS 3 so it wouldn't be top of my list. Any D9 based PC2 6400 will do you well but if you want to crank it up you need to look around & see what others are doing it with on the ASUS. The way I look at it is RAM is cheep atm & for the sake of an extra £20 to get a high spec PC2 8500 kit you will have piece of ming knowing your overclock is not going to be RAM limited & you should be able to run nice safe low voltage.

This list will help you find D9's http://ramlist.ath.cx/ddr2 Micron D9 is good stuff alright especially when it comes to mhz but with everybody now wanting 4GB to do 1000~1100mhz its not the be & end all it used to be, the powerchip based 4GB kits can do 1000~1100mhz on low voltage @ a decent price. Most QVL lists are not worth wiping your a**e with if you want to overclock as they don't really cater for overclockers. Your best bet would be IMO to do some research & find out what RAM is working well on your board & go with that.

OCZ 2GB http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?quicklinx=4RR0 I have seen these under £70 somewhere but I cant find them again. Edit it was Specialteck.co.uk that had these for £69.95 but they are now out of stock. These are also a good deal http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/...productId=26597 OCZ 4GB http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.a...ProductID=27615 & http://www.memoryc.com/products/descriptio..._kit/index.html Or Cheeper http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/...productId=30154 GSKILL 4GB http://www.memoryc.com/computermemory/ddr2...0pc28000pq.html

2GB Kit I would have the OCZ 8500 SLI's 4GB Kit I would go for the 8000 reaper kit or the G.sKILL 4GB kit. CN P.S OT / Nice to se someone local to me on here.

Not being funny or anything but you could probably buy a new Sampron for the same sort of money a Jeweller would charge to try to repair your old one.
