Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
Nice looking board.. Red/Black looks sharp and its an ASUS. Question?
What do they mean by 2 x speeding?
Found this on ASUS...
With your SSD you should be reaching Mach 9 speeds.

Lol.

Price... Just put Home Premium on Linda's no problems after I swapped out SATA Cable and moved the RAM.
Limited network connections for multiple users. After that it should run fine. I would go with pro too since there isn't much of a price difference.
I'll save $40 where ever I can 
And since I'm the only user on my rigs it doesn't change much.
Only other thing is that home is limited to 16Gb of RAM but my Mobo only supports that much anyway...

Then you are sweet to go. I haven't seen any issues beyond having it relate to a home network fully and multiple user accounts.
Oh Boy, can't wait to see the PICS.. Take your time with the build and enjoy it after all how often do you upgrade a system..
It's been about 3 years, almost 4, since I built the last one. Was at your place too, during the LAN if I'm not mistaken

That was 2008, hey if your not going to use the old case for a PC it can always be used as a Mirror!
Man, I can't wait until I can build a new computer! Since I have been listening to these old game soundtracks, I tried playing some of those games. Each time I did, no matter what hard drive or partition I was one, the game kept hanging and I could hear what is best described as the hard drive skipping while it did. I checked the event viewer and I had a bunch of errors: UlSata (9) and Disk (51).
The error messages were: "The device, \Device\Scsi\UlSata1, did not respond within the timeout period." and "The device, \Device\Harddisk1\D, is not ready for access yet." Considering that the first error was the Sata, I figure that something is up with the Sata chip/controller. Either that, or (and I don't know how this would even work) some sort of problem with the GPU. I mention this because I am pretty sure I have had similar errors when I try to run a game that's on Harddisk0 as well. At present, I don't have any games installed on any of the partitions of Harddisk0, so either I will try installing something small, or move one of my games that are just executables and try that. If I get the error, then I can rule out the actual disk drives, since Harddisk0 is the "new" drive that I installed AFTER I was already getting these errors. That would lead me back to the Sata chip. Anyone know if they can have issues communicating with video cards? It occurrs to me that perhaps I should check to see if I have the most recent video card drivers (for a card that's ridiculously old), but what I just don't get is why that could be the issue if I didn't have the problem before. Hmm, I guess there's the possibility that it started back when I last updated the video card drivers, but that was so long ago, I'll never know.
Anyway, I know I have talked about this before, and hopefully I won't have to worry about this much longer, but I would still like to try to figure this out. It would be nice to be able to have this computer available for Riley to play games on, etc., once I build a new one.
