Chaintech gets my vote.
With the latest 09/21 BIOS this board rocks for the price.
So yes you do have to update the bios but it is easy - pop the floppy with bios file in, press ALT-F2 during boot up, wait for update to finish and reboot - pretty user friendly i say
It will be hard to resists...
But my K8NS PRO was probably from the older batch.
Also I didn't try to put the newest F2 bios on it.
So it still might work for the latest revision and F2 bios
I got the same problem with k8ns pro it just didn't support mobile CPU - same symptoms
So the motherboard turned out to be OK (with desktop CPU) and CPU was fine (with another mobo)
I don't know about RAID but many people including myself had problems with memory being DDR333 (5:6 to fsb) after applying 0507 beta bios.
It happens if you have 2 double sided memory sticks for some memories (not all of them).
So you may try removing one and you will see that it goes back to...
Right,
Think about 3000+ and 3400+ as a same CPU but with different max multiplier.
I.e 3000+ has 10 and 3400+ has 12.
Remember you can change multiplier down on any A64 unlike P4
Even if both CPU overclock the same with 3400+ you have more flexibility with memory and motherboard.
Say if you get...
It doesn't like my 2 512MB double sided sticks of OCZ - works at 5:6 only and no way to force 1:1 operation unlike previous BIOS version.
But that version didn't have FID control and didn't support mobile CPU.
With one stick I am able to go as high as 278fsb memory 1:1.
With 2 sticks it goes up...
2.7 for memory - that IS low.
When I asked about 200MHz memory I meant can you force 1:1 ratio in BIOS?
As to 220 limit - ht 4x should wotj just fine on 220 - I tried 4 nforce3 mobos and all worked at 220 and higher on ht x4
jkresh,
So Asus has .5 CPU multiplier?
What are memory voltage options, chipset voltage?
Is there way to force 200Mhz memory?
How it works with your 2x512 3700eb (200Mhz, 166Mhz)
Well,
I can get to 295Mh x 8 on VNF3 and could only get to around 240-250Mhz x 8 on K8N Neo with the rest of the system same.
What is it if not motherboard?
Maybe it can run 300x4 but I don't care since I want it to be 300x8 (better yet 310-320)
And since I got mobile A64 this "no cold...
