From what I read elsewhere: Tras = Active Precharge Delay = Row-Active Precharge. I think the author called TRas the "RAS Precharge" by mistake, since it is most certainly a different thing.
If the performance doesn't change between Tras=5 and Tras=10 does it at least improve stability?
I was worried about that too. Fortunately the heatsink isn't that big - it doesn't stick out more than a PCI slot or the AGP slot itself (basing on the pictures - I don't have this board myself).
However, I wonder if there won't be any problems when replacing the heatsink with something more...
The list is in the board's manual, which is available for download in PDF here.
No geil modules are listed, but that doesn't mean they won't work!
Updates to the list are supposed to appear on their website, I haven't found anything though.
What was your CPU multiplier, memory speed and timings at HTT=265?
Increasing the bus speed won't improve performance by itself because the bandwidth is huge anyway. It's just a convienient way around the locked CPU multiplier and to overclock you memory. CPU & memory is where the true OC...
Also, I haven't seen any NF3 boards from Abit yet. It seems their NF-7S is at the very top when it comes to SocketA overclocking. Maybe they'll keep up the good work...
Thanks! I've checked MSI's website and Neo Platinum indeed does support 4xRaid 0 with NVRaid.
Anyway, I think I'll wait for Asus to release a S939/NF3 board and then I'll make up my mind.
I'd rather stick with Asus if I can, I like the color and all ;)
I've read twice that the perforamance of Sil3114 on this board really sucks - way below 120MB/s.
I was hoping you could do a 4 drive RAID 0 SATA/PATA combination with NVRaid.
Too bad, this board seemed really cool after the latest bios update, but I guess I'll just wait for a mobo with 4 drive...
