I just put my build together - no problems really except the one below. I did have a question about some of the P5Q features. The one problem I did have is when the PC goes to S3 Sleep mode it won't wake up. I even used a PS2 keyboard, turned on wake via power settings in bios and still no luck.

I'm Jed and I don't know what goes on in here, and never have since I saw that first thing about folding@home in the magazine.

In XP you could right click on a file, click "Explore" and examine the contents of that file. Very helpfull when downloading a file with drivers to see the correct executible file. I cannot simply right click the files in Vista to examine them. Why Microsoft felt that needed "improvement" I cannot guess. The problem is I need to use a driver file on an XP computer. I down ...
