    Gigabyte BIOS Update

    this is probably a stupid question but i'm only young and still learning. Right my new motherboard is a sli motherboard, it doesn't have a vga connector on.

    Gigabyte BIOS Update

    no i never, why would a new chip of fixed the problem? Even if it did fix it i needed a better quality motherboard anyway, lets face it gigabyte are kinda cheap motherboards, not as good as asus.

    Vista Bootable Floppy

    i never overclock processors, keep them as they are. I know if i overclocked mine it can go to 3.4ghz but 3ghz at the moment is doing me just fine. I've always had AMD, never had intel but AMD has never broke down on me.

    smah, i just got mine off ebay for £115, don't know if you're american or not so not sure what that is in dollars but fairly cheap for a dual core processor.

What files need to be on the floppy to make it bootable, can anyone recommend a program to do it for...

    AntiVirus on vista

    i'd just get rid of it, not worth damaging your computer for a stupid anti virus program. I thought anti virus software was supposed to help keep pc's healthy, not the opposite LOL. In AVG's case obviously not...
