This is a good Guide. I for one am Holding off on the SN25P because of the Athlon X2 / USB 2.0 Issue. Hopefully their is a fix soon. Most people have a problem Because they all run XP 32 bit, i wonder if XP 64 bit causes the same problem?

I'm running Windows XP 32bit and have 4 USB devices connected (Keyboard, Mouse, Wireless Network Adapter, and USB Controller). I have also used my USB 1.0GB memory stick which is 2.0 and has worked great as well.

I haven't had any freezes in regards to USB so I'm not quite sure either on why it's crashing for some. But, there's some Shuttle engineers working on it

Ald

yes x2 issues also causing me to hold off

even without x2 procs, you should install the amd driver, so you get their powersaving junk in. Might as well have your cpu idle at 28c when you're doing nothing. ;-)

Ah, good call, I'll make sure to add that, thanks

Now that I know the 7800GTX will fit i'm definatley going to get one!

Thanks for the info. Helped me figure out why a lot of my downloads where always corrupted. Reinstalled the (6.53) nforce drivers without the Network Access Manager and it everything works perfectly.

Glad your corruption problems were solved!

Also, new update to the guide concerning the USB with X2 on the SN25P.

Damnit, Now I hear about the Sata Cable problem. countless hours.. trying to figure out what the problem was.. (took a long time before I actually swapped out the new cables)

Good Guide though.

Aldoria do you have a v1.2 or v2.0 mobo?

My motherboard is v2.0.

Ald

Execellent work! I had all my questions about this unit answered in one stop.

Thanks!

Thanks for the awesome guide buddy! With this in mind I have complete confidence and utter excitement about my SN25P (which is on its way!)

STICKY THIS PLEASE

ty for the effort.

Ya this looks great. You have some really miscellaneous questions in there that should be helpful for anyone with this barebone.

In Progress: Writing simple troubleshooting guide to help user's further diagnose problems.

Alright, one question that I have. I heard that PCI-X Was backwards compatible with PCI so can I stick an Audigy 2 ZS into the PCI-X slot of the shuttle? The main thing that concerns me is the fact that the PCI-X 1 slot is phyiscally so much smaller than the regular PCI slots. Thanks!

*Edit: PCI-X not Express mmm oops, I'll get back to you on that.

It seems like PCI-X is backward compatible with PCI, at least from the documentation which can be found at: http://www.pcisig.com/specifications/pcix_20/

I'm not too familiar with this new format in regards with Shuttle. And if you are looking into the SN25P, it has x1 PCI-E slot not a PCI-X.

I would like to suggest that someone add a write up for a procedure on how to use and set "Speedfan". The Shuttle SN25P's "Smartfan" doesn't seem to be the best thing to use. I just finished building a SN25P last night. I noticed that when using Smartfan my cpu ran idle at 55 C. When I change Smartfan to the half setting, it went down to 35 C. BTW the room was warm.

I'd like to use something better than Smartfan but don't know anything about Speedfan. So it would be useful to some people like me to have a setup guide for Speedfan. Thanks.
