This is what I generally use on my Venice Core 3000 which has similar multiplier etc. Adjust CPU FSB Frequency - 289 HT Frequency - 3x HT Width - 16 16 Cool 'n' Quiet - Disabled Adjust CPU Ration - 9x Adjust CPU VID - 1.45v Extra CPU Voltage - 3.3% Memory Voltage - 2.85v NF4...

I'd be a litlle suspect about 2 x 512's and a single 1GB. If you could buy a pair of 1GB I'd expect things to be happier and more stable. I'm running 2 x 512 and 2 x 1GB both Dual but obviously at 3-4-4-8 2T and things are very stable. Keep the memory in pairs I'd say.

See Sig, I'm happy considering no dual core.

I'm going to highly recommend the Zalman VF900-CU. It's very effective, very quiet and easy to fit. Also comes complete with Zalmand speed controller and Memory Heatsinks. Review - http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/zalman_vf900-cu/ Review -...

True, But you still have a choice of another laptop. Either way, It will play most games fine but like most ATI chipsets it'll favour D3D over OpenGL games. You can run the mainstream Catalyst drivers if you modify the setup .inf's to include the V5200 chipset. I doubt you notice...

I ran a FireGL V5100 128MB DDR in my PC for several months and it was based on the X800 Pro chipset. It generally ran most 3D games O.K at up to 1024 x 768 (Fear, Quake4, Doom3, Oblivion etc) and in typical ATI fashion 2D and 3D quality was nice and sharp. I then swapped it out for an...

Have you tried disconnecting all components (except essentials) like CD/DVD drive/s, Modem, soundcard etc to see if one of them is at fault. Sure it's not an incorrect jumper setting on a drive? Have you got the latest bios? Have you tried different ram and/or Graphics Card? Etc...

I always use 1/4 to 1/2 a BB sized blob of AS5 in the center of the heat spreader and then just fasten the heatsink on in one smooth movement (eg: Don't lift the heatsink off after you've placed it on the CPU and see if it's spread enough!). Just trust that it has spread nicely and as long as...

I've used NV, Ati and Matrox cards over the years for various CAD and/or rendering work and I must say I've never seen bad 2D quality on any ATI or Matrox card I've used while the earlier NV cards 2D was crap. Todays higher end cards are fairly close however and although at home I use an ATI...

Solution could be to reflash the bios with the additional flags of /py/nvmac:xxxxxxxxxxxx/wb where xxxxxxxxxxxx is the origonal MAC address which, can be found on a sticker on top of the motherboard's parallel port block or somewhere around there! awfl833d.exe w7025nms.xxx...

Definately visit this site - http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=43033 Also make sure you are aware of the hidden bios settings - TIP: In the bios press and hold Shift+F2 and then press ALT+F3 to unlock "hidden" features within the BIOS. Basically this boards bios...

It wasn't just MSI in the spotlight at that time and MSI have used nothing but good quality Japanese made capacitors for a long time since this issue. http://abitsettlement.com/ Was an industry wide issue and while people could point the finger at the board manufacturer they should also...

There was an issue with earlier revision boards where the GPU fan power connector contacted some capacitors right next to the PCI-E slot prevented the card from fully inserting. These cap's could be gently pushed slightly apart and the power connector would fit between them and the card could be...

It will work with the 20 pin connector but I'd highly recommend he at least get's the 20 - 24pin adaptor for stability.

If your mate has a power supply less than 400W and with a 12v rail of less than 18A then buy a new ATX 2.0 standard power supply with the 24pin connector. If the ATX 1.0 power supply currently used is more than 400W and has the 18A minimum 12v rail then they could save somemoney and get a...

I went from a MSI K8 Neo2 Platinum to the Neo4 SLI PLatinum and had no problems. Just uninstalled the chipset and audio drivers etc from the system while it was still in the Neo2 and once I'd transferred everything into the Neo4 I just booted up and installed the new chipset and component...

Nvidia has always focused on 3D and definately improved the 2D quality in the last couple of years. However ATI originally concentrated on excellent 2D quality and have never disapointed in that area while they've worked on and evolved the 3D performance. Matrox was always excellent and...

Can you post a little info about the actual device/s your trying to connect. Brand, Type, Model Number etc

And you've got to be quite happy with that! I use Everest Home Edition to check my voltages as I've found it the most accurate. http://www.lavalys.com/products/overview.php?pid=1&lang=en But at least you persisted and got a good result in the end. Cheers,

Yeah, What I'm referring to is the superpi failure which I find (on my PC) fails first when I'm pushing my memory a little further than it want's to go. If I relax the timings or drop the speed I get through the test. Exactly what speed is your ram running at? Same as your sig or...

The memory potentially will hold you back. If you get PC3200 sticks you'll need to run them at 166 to get your FSB to anything decent. Do your research and choose ram that you know will run O.K at relaxed timings well above it's stock speed. Also make sure your MB can provide the voltage...

When the mem modules are manufactured and sold as dual modules they have been tested and certified to run together. Not all identical modules will run as pairs with 100% stability. That's why they are sold a dual kit's (tested and certified). If the system from work uses dual paired sticks...

They should work fine but I'd be surprised if you get then to run as dual.

Memory's holding you back.

Update to the latest bios from here using Live Update or Winflash - http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=607&kind=1 Should be bios v1.B and released 9/9/05 I'm fairly confident that should fix things up for you.

Only buy matched pairs. You cannot buy two sticks of ram and expect them to work together. Invest in some good memory that you know has some headroom otherwise it will guarantee to hold you back. If you don't overclock or plan to, then stick with your DDR333 non dual sticks. I use...

We'll, at least your getting more than you paid for from your efforts. What are your core temps getting to at the moment with stock cooling. Unless it's hitting 45C+ under load I'd give it a little more vcore.

From the front ports (off the motherboard) or from the back ports. What OS are you running aswell.

Have you tried 3-4-4-8. The real world performance difference is undetectable so it might be worth a look.

As far as I'm aware the PCI bus on this board is automatically locked and shouldn't be an issue for you. I'm running my 3000+ Venice at over 300 FSB and the PCI bus hasn't been a problem. The CPU is perfectly good up to around 1.55v on air cooling and I'd say the memory is the most likely...

O.K, Can you change to the following, Adjust CPU FSB Frequency = 230 then try 240 if stable HT Frequency = 3x CPU Ratio = 10 Adjust CPU VID = 1.35v Extra CPU Voltage = 3.3% Memory Voltage = 2.80v NF4 Voltage = 1.55 Timing Mode = Manual MEMClock Index Value = 166 TCL = 3 TRAS = 8...

Fill this info in - Just out of interest can you post your O/C settings from your bios, DRAM Configuration = ? Adjust CPU FSB Frequency = ? HT Frequency = ? HT Width = ? Cool 'n' Quiet = ? Adjust CPU Ratio = ? Adjust CPU VID = ? Extra CPU Voltage = ? Memory Voltage = ? NF4 Voltage...

I've read a number of posts from people using this board with ATX 2.0 PSU's without the 5v rail and everything is fine. The original issue was that the Onboard Soundblaster Live "apparently" required the -5v rail and therefore had an issue on the ATX 2.0 standard. I am 99% confident that...

Just use the cable ties around the black arms and rethink it again after that if you still need improvement.

Have you got the D bracket with the diagnostic LED's mounted. If so, what is the LED sequence when it's turned on? Have you tried any other memory? What slot's have you got each stick of ram in? Have you tried it with another Graphics Card?

Give us this information from the bios, or at least what you can find. DRAM Configuration = ? Adjust CPU FSB Frequency = ? HT Frequency = ? HT Width = ? Cool 'n' Quiet = ? Adjust CPU Ratio = ? Adjust CPU VID = ? Extra CPU Voltage = ? Memory Voltage = ? NF4 Voltage = ? DRAM...

Personally I think use the divider and get the extra 300Mhz. The on chip memory controller in the A64 CPU's basically minimises the memory bandwidth loss from using the divider. When I'm encoding video I get more benefit from the extra core speed. Compare your own bench's with mine below...

Yes, the M2 socket will hit the boards sometime in the second quarter/mid year 2006. So I guess you could wait but I'm sure the 939 sockets won't be completely dropped straight away.

Don't use tape as it will just fall off. Use some heat resistant cable ties (Tefzel Fluoropolymer Cable Ties or Stainless Steel) as you can get them in various lengths and they are very slim so they won't affect your fins but you can tension them to suit. They won't loosen or fall off...
