GA x58A-UD3R and Asus P6T

Hi !

I'm having a little trouble deciding between these 2 motherboards:

Gigabyte x58A-UD3R and Asus P6T

I will not be doing any overclocking.

I will be using Win 7 64bit (coz gonna go for 12 GB triple channel).

IMO, the x58A-UD3R has a lot of nice features, but looks kind of overcrowded. I wonder if that will affect any future upgrades for the rig (blocking each other - space issue).

As for the Asus, well, Asus has a good reputation, but I've heard some troubling stuff about the P6T, mainly about RAM issues. Makes we kind of worried.

I've also had a bad experience with MSI in the past, and I've developed a phobia to use it again. lol.

Can anyone help me out please? If possible, some feedback will be helpful too.

Thanks!

anyone taking this course?

I saw this course in SEGi KL. I heard from someone that TARC has this course too (not sure if true - I don't see it in their site).

Kind of interested. But I'm wondering if it's worth it to take this course. lol

Streamyx staff tries to get my password

Me: I have a problem with my account. I can't login.

Support: Let me check. Hmm... u don't have a hang session, and I can see u have entered the correct ID and Password (I really LOL at this part).

Me: I'm getting Error 691 (Invalid Password).

* Then she insist on going through the whole process of creating a new connection. *

Me: OK, done. But I'm still getting the error.

Support: Are u sure u have entered the correct Password ?

Me: Yes!

Support: Can u give me your Password please?

Me: Why do I need to do that?

Support: I need to check if your Password is correct.

Me: *sigh* I don't need to do that.

*She cuts the line*

About 5 minutes after the phone call, my account is working fine.

Don't know if it's coincidence, or she restored it.

Streamyx problem

Not sure if anyone can help me.

On 24th Sept, I've already called the 100 phone number and reported this. But they don't seem to be able to fix it. They tried to reset the port...etc. Problem still not fixed.

I called up yesterday (28th Sept), they said they have already sent their technician on 26th Sept and he reported he made some adjustments. But I'm calling up again because the problem is still not fixed yet. They just told me that they will send the technician again.

I called up today, and they just told me that the technician hasn't written any remark yet. They said to call back tomorrow. *sigh*

I'm wondering whether the problem is on their side or mine.

Here is my modem (Aztech) status:

Connection Status : Connected
Us Rate (Kbps) : 512
Ds Rate (Kbps) : 1024
US Margin : 25
DS Margin : 31
Trained Modulation : ADSL_G.dmt
LOS Errors : 0
DS Line Attenuation : 2
US Line Attenuation : 0
Peak Cell Rate : 1207 cells per sec
CRC Rx Fast : 0
CRC Tx Fast : 0
CRC Rx Interleaved : 0
CRC Tx Interleaved : 0
Path Mode : Interleaved

Attached is my speed test. It took me like 20 minutes to complete it. So I really don't feel like doing a second test.

Hi!

I'm asking this for a friend.

What if he has forgotten his L2 acc's secret question's answer?
Is there any way to retrieve it?
