I found a company that makes them. It might have had only one open header for one set of USB2 port pins... (Cases generally need two sets.) They have no distributors that handle them, so I tried to set up an account to buy direct, but they might have low-balled me at $6 ea, and the guys

Generally you are going to be wiring front panel usb connectors and internal usb devices directly to header pins on your motherboard. The Koutech IO-PU222 is is the only card I've found that has two internal header pins like the type normally found on a motherboard. It is a 4-port USB 2.0 PCI

I think the advice is to stay away from Nvidia's 680i chipset completely, regardless of the board maker. I could not agree more. Awful chipset. Greg -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hardware- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wayne Johnson Sent: Monday, December 17,

I have had nothing but good Experiences and Customers as well with 680i Chipset boards. Although, none from Gigabyte. The 680i boards I get are from either Asus or eVGA. If you are going to do SLI 680i is the only way to go. Regards, Tim The Beave Lider MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mailto: [EMAIL

Rick, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I agree that I am stretching on this. It's just that I don't have the funds to completely rebuild an otherwise running machine. Slow, to be sure, but for what I want it to do, it is fast enough. Appreciate the help.. :) Best, Duncan At 03:07 12/17/2007

In favor of an Intel X38 then or something else down the road at top dollar again? It's my impression 680i is OK as long as you don't want to do Quad core? Not that I plan on buying quad and the recommended rev 2.0 Gigabyte 680i board is off the market as of November anyway. Meanwhile here

I just found any build I've done on that chipset to be generally less stable than comparable P35-based builds I've done. Supposedly the 680i chipset is hit-or-miss in terms of quirkiness...but I must have missed 3 times in a row. eVGA (2) and Gigabyte (1). Once I dumped the 680i and went P35, I've

X38 is exceptionally nice. The Asus p5e3 wifi is easily one of the best boards I've ever used. We got in the first round of 780is on Friday, 5 EVGA boards and 2 Asus Striker 2s. The striker 2s are pure garbage, using a qx9650 they still freak out, are unstable and frequently bluescreen.
