    Re: Computer seems hyper-sensitive to power outages

    The upshot of always using Microsoft drivers, or changing them, is that it's easier to move the HDD to a motherboard with a different chipset.

    I'd put in another board with a chipset other than nVidia or VIA, perhaps SiS?

      SiS = JUNK.

        Well I'm sure Intel don't have AMD boards with their chipset on, I hate nVidia and VIA chipsets, what else does that leave us?

        I don't touch the AMD side of the fence, so am out of practice with any other offerings.

          ATI chipset boards.

            Or Intel chipset based boards.

            This is why I said: AMD chipset or Intel chipset. AMD bought ATI and AMD developed futhur on ATI chipsets into much better AMD chipsets like 790, 785 etc.

              I always use boards with Intel chipsets - but in the case of finding a replacement for his AM2 board, I didn't think this was a viable option.

                If you need an AM2 board then something with an ATI 7XX chipset is probably the best.

                  Correct!! Still can buy AM2+ boards. These uses DDR2 only. Get 780G AM2+ board, this will handle AM2 cpu too. I checked.

                  Also this is excellent path to move up to AM3 CPU when ready to spend on new CPU.
