Went to Frys with the Girl to get my birthday present.
Came home with a fancy case & power supply, other nifty bits, and the Fry's bundled Quadcore Intel.
I'm building it up. I plug in the new external HD I've backed up my data to.
What message do I see?
NO HIGH SPEED USB PORTS AVAILABLE ON THIS COMPUTER!! The board is ready for a quad core processor, but no high speed USB! What a crock of shit!
* Crock of Shit = ECS G31T-M mobo
Even after installing the board INF and other drivers, it still gives me that damn "this device could work faster if" when I plug in an external drive. I've just downloaded the latest from ECS, but can't install till the second drive completes its format.
Any recommendations of what board I should replace this useless piece of crap with? I just hate that I have to spend even more on this thing... (not a "help me please IT gods" post)
God, but I hate tech some days.
(usually it takes a vaio to get me this cranked)
