wrongDallows said:that's a 754-pin board, a total waste as it requires a 754-pin cpu and those only take ecc-registered ram which is slower and more expensive than regular ram.
ruffz said:wait a second.. socket 754 only takes registered ram? I thought that was only with the FX series on 940. +
wow, you're just a plethora of misinformation. Only the 940 fx needs ecc registered memory, via chipsets are the ones that do not run in dual channel. Dallas, whered you get this information from? back on track, Im waiting for a review of this asus board also looks sweetDallows said:that's a 754-pin board, a total waste as it requires a 754-pin cpu and those only take ecc-registered ram which is slower and more expensive than regular ram. it also doesn't run in dual channel mode. Save your money, wait a little, then buy a 3500+ and some nice ram, be sure to get 2 sticks of say 512mb pc2700 or pc3200.
I thought all S754 mobos couldnt run in Dual Channel. If it is only Via chipsets that can't, you've just made me a lot happierImpu|se said:via chipsets are the ones that do not run in dual channel

I put the CPU in, etc, 2x 512 MB PC3200 RAM, 400w power supply, ATI Radeion 9800 Pro, etc. Board powered up, no POST. Oh and this board has a voice post thingy, and the voice thing said I was overclocking the CPU but I could not have been doing that since it was the 1st time the board was powered up, and nothing on my screen, could not even get into the BIOS. I wrote to ASUS technical support, they sent me a list of things to do. I did those things, such as take everything off the board, even the CPU to get it to generate an error code, and the voice thing said, "no CPU installed" over and over again. I must have gotten a bad board. Because I put my AMD Athlon 64 back in my Gigabyte board, and it worked fine. Anyhow, I RMA'ed the board back to ZipZoomFly, and ordered one from Newegg. I sure hope this new one I am getting in a few days works. I have read else where that a few people have gotten this board as a dud. I am going to give the ASUS board a 2nd chance. It has all the features I want so that is why I really want to get it to work.
got the same board yesterday from NewEgg. Its not posting and beeping once. Is this board a dud too?
