PJ's Prescott: 2.8E on the DFI LanParty 875B

PJ, have you tried Memtest86+ v1.0 with the Prescott yet? I couldn't get the floppy or CD versions to work. I get a split second flash of the blue background with very little text before it reboots. The older Memtest86 v3.0 works but shows the L1 cache as unknown. I just want to see if...

Disabling fastwrite on Intel 865GBF

I don't have the same board, but not all BIOS's have the option to enable / disable the feature. I have Fast Writes disabled through the ATI Control Panel for my 9700 Pro.

Asus P4C800-E Deluxe won't post with Mushkin PC3200 Level II

Your memory is definitely compatible with your board. Settings for best compatability are: CAS Latency: 2 RAS Precharge: 2 RAS to CAS Delay: 3 Precharge Delay: 6 Burst Length: 8 Perf Acc Mode: Auto (though Enabled has never caused problems for me at any speed) DDR Ref Volt: 2.65 (Auto, 2.55 &...

What is the best 512 RAM for an Asus P4P800 DELUXE

Mushkin works great on this board, especially with BH-5 chips. So like stated previously, better get 'em quick.

Asus P4C800 owners come in.

Have Spread Spectrum always disabled on P4C800D. Read multiple articles (sorry, can't remember which or where) on BIOS tweaking that mentioned spread spectrum. All recommended disabling the feature as it could be potentially detrimental for overclocking. One article mentioned that the feature...

Asus P4C800-E Rev 2

This might sound remote, but it happened more than once on my P4C800D. Your board, like mine, has no AGP lock - part of AGP slot that hooks under your video card to prevent it from pulling out. When I was testing different memory sticks, repeated pushing on the DIMM slots would sometimes push...

OCZ or Mushkin?

Have no experience with OCZ yet, but I'm running 1024MB PC3200 LvII Mushkin dual channel on my P4C800 Deluxe. I also just recently tried 512MB PC3500 LvII dual and went back to the originals. This is great memory, but I think you might want to save your money if your setup is anything like...

SATA UDMA on P4C800D

Got a reply from WD. They said that the dive will operate at ATA150 regardless of the BIOS setting. I'm not sure I'm satisfied with that answer, even if the drive can't make use of that high setting. I've read about what you mentioned - that today's drives can't make use of that much...

Question about SATA Raptor

Don't know if this will help, but I just installed a Raptor on my P4C800D. I chose to do a clean install and reformatted my existing WD800JB to use as a back-up drive. I installed the Raptor on the southbridge SATA connector as I'm not creating RAID, so I was wondering why there was talk of...

Halo-software hell--HELP!!

Have had similar problems with Halo under different circumstances. I used to get "Gathering exception data" errors after choosing "Play" on the start screen about every other time. Sorry that I don't remember the details, but when I followed up on the error I was told my system was failing to...

SATA UDMA on P4C800D

Just installed single WD360GD on ASUS P4C800 Deluxe at SATA_1 (ICH5 nonraid) with old WD800JB as secondary on Primary IDE. Everythig works, but I can't enable anything higher than UDMA-5 in the BIOS (P4C81014). There should be a choice of UDMA-6, right? According to "Sandra" and others. WD's...
