gee that was less than helpful. Did I mention that the first time I tried this it ended up with me reloading windows? This is my first build. Cut me some slack. Come on guys, hold the flames and lend a hand to a rookie.

The articles are great, but they are a bit over my head yet. I checked ATITOOL settings (on shift) and I have F's where they need to be to have a modable X800 GTO2 card. The card overclocks well. Even put on the Artic Cooler Silencer 5 V2. Sure could use a little step-by-step to get me...

Thank you so much. You're the man !!

That was so cool. I Checked The Bios. ADVANCED>DRAM CONFIGURATION and it was set to auto select DDR333. I changed it to manual and then the previously grayed out options became available. One of the choices was DDR400. (I didn't change anything else) I rebooted and ..... Voila!! The was my...

Thanks for your quick response. Where should I look in the bios? I'll look right now. From Asus website "To be more compatible and stable with some memory modules, the default clock will be at 333MHz if four DDR400 memory modules are plugged on the A8N-SLI. (should be same as A8N-e) But you...

what are 2t timings and how do I enable it? Besides the post, is there another way to verify what speed they are running at? DOH!!! I reread the manual and it says "DIMM modules with 128mb memory chips or double-sided X16 memory chips are nor supported in this motherboard" What it actually...

I see during post that my Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2 400mhz memory in my Asus A8N-E Mobo is running at 333mhz. (At least it's reading dual channel) What's up with that? Is there a voltage adjustment I can make in Bios for that? How do I get the speed I paid for out of these chips?

Hope you can help me. (first build) I have the Sapphire X800 GTO². I installed the atitool and it says 12 active pipes. ok. I downloaded the mod flash and clicked on it. Rebooted, and it still says 12 active pipes. Guess I didn't expect it to be this simple. What didn't I do?

Thank you. I sure could use a little help getting started with this X800gto2 to X850 mod. (Just this one last thing.....until next time, of course) The articles are great, but they are a bit over my head yet. :confused: I checked ATITOOL settings (on shift) and I have F's where they need to...

Ok, what am I not doing. (first build) I installed the atitool and it says 12 active pipes. ok. I downloaded the mod flash and clicked on it. Rebooted, and it still says 12 active pipes. Guess I didn't expect it to be this simple. A little help would be appreciated.

jeez...as it turned out the company I ordered the MB from said they don't have them anymore. I am looking for another 478 pin P4 board that supports ATA133 agp and PC133 sdram. The 865PE neo 2-LS won't work with my parts. Requires a northwood cpu and uses DDR. Sounds like a great board, but...

we all need to identify and eliminate computer hardware problems. Let's all put our heads together and collectively compile a toolbox of good FREE hardware utilities. I'll start: MEMTEST86 (check system memory) http://www.memtest.org/#downiso SYSTOOL (overclocking tool) kudos to techpowerup...

Funny, I had just decided that this old machine needed updating and ordered new 300W (eMachine) PSU, extra case fans, and memory shields. It wasn't long after that my original hard drive took a dump. You're thinking, co-incidence, right? lol I bought a new maxtor 120Gb and for some reason it...

I did a full reinstall about a month ago. After a week or so I noticed that I started to get the yellow exclamation mark of death in my device manager and couldn't get my computer to recognize any of my optical drives or printer. Would not restore to any of my restore points either. Sometimes...

Thanks again Dan
