First time to hear about this... Higher IDE Strength = Higher voltage? But people around said that when it is highest they are also crashing.

An 2.00 bios has been in the asrock website already. Anyone tried that? Just flashed. Seems no new settings. Description from ASRock: 1.Modify for ATI 2xxx series cards. 2.Modify memory code. 3.Modify for Hercules Fortissimo III 7.1 sound card. 2.00B modded version also released...

I was wondering if there's any forums to reach the author of the modded bios 1.80c. Anyone know about this? (I don't know German) BTW, for the overclocking guide posted by Mr. Vain, I actually got something to ask: 1) It seems that someone said before that if you are overclocking your FSB...

I asked ASRock about this before and they said it wouldn't boot up. At that time I wanted to buy E4300 and because of this I went for another cpu.

I think it can work if you just change motherboards, CPUs or else. I tried that before. Some cases may not, e.g. you move from an AGP display to a PCI-E one. But of course a clean install is always recommended. I think installing the multi-core optimizer from Microsoft should fix that...

Didn't Vista integrate that driver? The one from ASRock has not listed to work for Vista... You can try this though Link from VIA Arena

I don't know much about different brands' SPD settings. But I think most of them have more than 1 though. e.g. my G. Skill has 2 sets. And I think getting a new pair of ddr2 running at 3-3-3-8, the performance increase will not be very drastic - look at the reviews the guys posted on page 31...

1) Yes. 1b) Yes. Except you want to take your E6420 back to 200 fsb - you won't do this right? 2) Depends on what timings you want. The lowewst CAS Latency setting on this board is 3 for DDR2. Typically at CL3 people set things at CL3-3-3-8. You can try better timings for the latter 3...

1) That's why I said you can do the auto settings EXCEPT the dram frequency. It seems that if you do not specify this on this board it wll go ddr333 or less 2) G. skill, A-data, Syncmax, Crucial, Corsair (non-valueselect series, if you want to go lower latencies), or any brand with micron d9...

I also saw tests running at DDR2-533 CL3-3-3-8-1T. I am also running at DDR2-568 CL3-3-3-3-8 1T for my G. Skill DDR2-800 (4-4-4-12). Who knows. Maybe problem with the ram controller (ddr part), maybe really the ram problem, or because of 1:1? When I use my corsair there are problems running...

Oh yes. I got one more question. Do anyone of you here uses a non-graphic card on this board's pci-e slot? (i.e. a PCI-e x1 SATA RAID card, or TV Tuner, something like that) I know that it should be possible to plug an x1 card into an x4/x16 slot, but I wonder if anyone of you tried this...

As this board will not be able to support 1333 FSB CPUs I am not sure if the board can identify the E6x50 CPUs as well. E6600 is good. Seems that I saw someone mentioned about problems using quad CPUs in this thread, I am not sure? Anyways... Have you bought this board actually? Seems that...

Hi, There should not be many settings. If you are not overclocking you can just keep the default / auto settings, except that you may want to specify that you are using DDR333. BTW I suppose you use this board with your old peripherals is to save money. So I was wondering why you would...

Thanks. I suppose so. I tried to look at Si Sandra but it seems it's not really reading the timings... anyways. While Everest told me the v-link speed goes up. Seems that this is really related to the fsb. BTW, finally spent an extra US$30 replacing my Corsair DDR-400 2 x 1GB for G. Skill...

OK. Oh I got one more question, bios doesn't mention anything about AGP bus speed, so is it linked to the FSB or linked to PCI or it always run at 66MHz? THanks.
