    I hope this link works:

    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

    That's the Realtek drivers direct from Realtek. They may play nicer than the Asus installer.

    im getting excited

    it has installed

    in the right hand corner it says

    Realtek, PCIe GBE Family Controller

    Fingers crossed, spear

    Then remove the USB key. It'll count as a bootable drive, and may cause the boot order to switch.

    May have just been the updates installing. It does so before the full boot of Windows and may have looked similar.

    in the BIOS you can change the boot order to go straight to the hard disk, and not look for the USB/removable drive/DVD options.

    Hey HEADSHOT....

    Just wondering how long the status on DHL.de stayed at "The shipment is being transported to the destination country" for or did it ever change?

    Its being saying that on mine for the last 2 days an nothing else.

    The wait is killing me!! Cant wait till it gets here! hehe

    Was hoping to get it by the end of today (Friday), but probably gonna have to wait till Monday now :( so sad :(

    I tried the an post site, but no record of it.

    Cant wait till my beast arrives :D

    Get yourself a ebox controller for crysis...it makes life a lot easier... get one on ebay with a usb cable....small money.
    have been going mad on the demo myself...just got a new 6970 and its awesome.....

    glad to hear your rig is going well now...:cool:

    So I guess we will see you in the overclocking section next:)

    What is your budget on the system btw?
    you'd want to downgrade on the cpu and upgrade the gpu because that's where the gaming power comes from so the 2500k is too much overkill

    sorry for the bump but can someone recommend (im not sure what its called tbh) a pc component that has an Ethernet to access the internet via broadband for my computer

    I know my motherboard (i think) has one built into it but im starting to believe that is becoming dodgy
