I was already looking at that database, looks like my mobo and cpu choice is good. I have bought a 2gb kit of OCZ Platinum to go with this setup. But thanks a lot for your help reply.

Still running Bios version 3.0 on my MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum Sli but now I am in the process of upgrading my computer to Intel Core 2 Duo. Still AMD Fan waiting for their answer to Intel Conroe.

Hello guys, need some help. I am going to upgrade my computer from Athlon 64 3200 Venice 939 to a Intel Core 2 Duo. I am betraying AMD this time, last time I built an Intel system for myself was 1998 which was a Dual P3 Xeon and Quake 3 arena looked good on it. As some of you guys know I like...

HELLO everyone!

As to my experience BIOS 3.0 is the best for Venice Core. Some have tried with Winchester Core but were not so lucky. Winchester core has lot of issues with MSI K8N NEO4 PLATINUM/SLI and other Motherboards. But I would definitely give 3.0 try with San Diego since a lot of issues were supposed...

With BIOS 3.3 my MOBO did not boot with all 4 slots populated, so I am using only 2 slots right now with KINGSTON HyperX DDR500 PC4000. This mobo has lot of issues but still MSI K8N NEO4 PLATINUM/SLI is one of the best Motherboard in its class period. Hopefully you did not order Winchester...

Go with BIOS 3.0, and you should be able to clock past not just 210 but insane speeds. I had the same problem with my Venice 3000+ but with BIOS 3.0 I can boot into Windows with 297MHz FSB @ 2677MHz. For complete details about how I achieved my overclocking results, Bios download, FAQ common...

Since you have NVIDIA drivers for 6600gt, your system should recognize 6800gt on its first post into windows. But I would uninstall the NVIDIA Graphics drivers and reinstall again for proper installation.

As long as you still don't have any hardware problems I don't see any reason for any driver conflicts. But different BIOS version, or your new Video card could cause some minor driver conflicts. Easy to fix thou, just uninstall the drivers and reinstall the ones causing issues. But 95% I...

No Problem, and remember to GROUND YOURSELF BY TOUCHING THE PSU OR CASE CHASIS WITH THE POWER CABLE PLUGGED IN TO AVOID ANY ESD.

** HOW TO TEST YOUR COMPUTER OUTSIDE THE CASE ** GROUND YOURSELF BY TOUCHING THE PSU OR CASE CHASIS WITH THE POWER CABLE PLUGGED IN TO AVOID ANY ESD. First I would lay the case on the bench sideways laying on it side panel so you can extend the power supply wires to reach the Motherboard and...

Yes I would try that first, and hopefully everything will go fine this time if your previous Motherboard was the culprit. I would try testing everything outside the case to eliminate any grounding issues.

Wonder what MellowDude is upto. Have not seen him for a few days. :(

Yes I heard it is out. But I am tired of trying different BIOS versions. I am very happy with 3.0 right now.

I have been thinking about doing the same thing as I am using 256mb x 2 Kingston HyperX DDR500. I have 3 sticks of this RAM but I can use only 2 for dual channel 128bit configuration. I have been debating to get the 4th stick so I can run dual channel of 1GB or get 512mb x 2. Beware, there...

** Motherboard Fiber Washer Installation & Grounding Issues ** Technically the washers go in between the screw head and MOBO. Use the thin thread screws with washer like head. Here is what works for me. If I have these washers then I would definitely use them. It helps eliminate grounding...

I have never tried BIOS 3.1. I tried 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 but I like 3.0. I got tired of trying different BIOS so I never tested 3.1. But since you have mentioned earlier that it is good I might give it a try one of these days.

I guess in that case these colors will help the rest of the .01% of the non OCD posters. Let me know if I am not aware of any color codes that are enforced in this forum, since I am a 'n00bie' to this Forum. If there is any color code, I will gladly comply with it. :)

Yes, I did. Last year I bought 2 sticks of 256mb x 2 Corsair Value Select PC 3200 RAM for my ASUS A7N8X-E DELUXE nForce2 Ultra 400 MOBO. Came to find out it was incompatible with that Motherboard, as I kept on getting the Blue Screen of Death in Windows XP Pro. nForce boards are picky on RAM...

I already tried that with v3.5 but it did not help. In V3.0 default Sil3132 function is SATA and I left it to that. Even then Sil3132 is detected and installed properly in windows. I get everything I want from BIOS 3.0 (Extreme Over Clocking, No Errors, Stability, etc.) But I do appreciate...
