Arise from the dead Oh ancient thread. New integrated ULI drivers available

quietRiot said:its probably faster in terms of....nothing.
but thats not really the question you are asking. the answer to the question you are asking completely depends on your system settings/uses/specs. and your gut feeling. and your money situation. and warranty situation. and maybe even color scheme of your computer, hell i dont know.![]()

See sig...DocNsane said:Has anyone had a chance to play with this board in WinXP with an AGP Nvidia card?
wee96 said:Damn the latest bios releases destroy any overclocking attempts pretty badly.
lordroy said:and to think that Kyle never thought much of this board and never put it on the [H]ard page cuz it wasn't [H]ard enough...
lol

somecallmeTim said:Part of that is because as far as a board that will perfrom amazingly well, it's not. For those of us that have made / are making the transition from AGP to PCI-e and want to go A64, this board is a great solution. Does it overclock like a LANParty super delux or ASUS "platinum"? No, but you can get it for like $40 shipped from NewEggs Refurb, or spend about $70 if you want it new.
Nice thing is the board really is built by ASUS (same company) - and all the ASRock boards are a bit different than you'd see else where. Hopefully nVidia will keep supporting our ULi chipset since it works quite well
Peace,
Tim

Yashu said:man it was hell getting my system switched over to this board... but I did it.
I have a tip for all:
remember to also unplug all devices including usb header ones... also any IDE ones that are not needed in the install.
even when things are disabled on this board, the install can still see that it is there and hangs!
I run a repair install every time I switch motherboards so I can keep my install... but it would hang at different places untill I actually unplugged everything, including from ports that I had disabled!

It's a Athlon 64 3200+ venice and i'm using the 1.9 bios.
To get the FSB to overclock at all I have to have the flexibility option enabled. Which is odd because I do have a matching pair of ram. Why is that?
Edit - I overclocked the FSB to 230 and the memory is set at 200(400). The bios reports the clock speed now being at 2.3ghz and windows reports the same thing. However CPUz is saying the clock speed is 1.15ghz with a clock multiplier of 5. And it says the memory is at 143.8mhz. Which is certainly not what is being reported in the bios.
However a run of 3Dmark06 shows that the overclock is indeed in effect.
I then overclocked the FSB to 250mhz. Now everything except 3dmark06 is reporting the clock speed as 1.25ghz. But my 3dmark scores do a reflect a higher overclock in effect.
Edit - I now have the FSB to 260mhz and everything except CPUz is reporting the right clock speed.
What program are you using in windows to report motherboard and CPU temps? Motherboard monitor does'nt have this board listed.

Yashu said:ok I found a bug in this board...
I had some ddr500 ram and I ran at 8X250 to be 2ghz...
well I can set it that way and boot, but everest reports WORSE scores then when I run ddr400...
not only that, but cpuz is reporting that everything should be ok. it sees the correct ddr500 speeds.
I have no idea what is going on.
not to mention that I can't use any 80 series nvidia drivers...
