    Gigabyte K8NSNXP-939 or MSI Neo2 Pltnm or DFI or what?

    I want to purchase a high quality board for $200 or less that will allow me to go over the 300mhz FSB barrier if possible (of course it depends on what CPU I use) and offer the AGP slot and the NF3 Ultra chipset. I'm not interested in any post trying to persuade me not to upgrade, thank you...

    Why I might not go with Asus motherboards again.

    I have a K8N-E Deluxe 754 socket mobo and am disappointed for three reasons: 1) They can't offer bios updates where the basics are consistant. For example, some of their bios updates for the same mobo offer 400mhz memory clk speed and some don't, it's a crap shoot. To get the 400 speed you have...

    Recommendation for mobo and CPU upgrade to 939?

    Okay guys, need your expert opinions. I want to upgrade from my 754 board to a 939 board to take advantage of my dual channel memory but I want to stick with an AGP configuration. I just recently bought my X850XT PE AGP card and don't want to part with it yet and I don't need the SLI options...

    x850xt agp overheating?

    Worked for me too, what a difference! After struggling for quite awhile with heat problems I finally decided to take the heatsink off and investigate. After reading many posts about low temps using the stock fan I realized that it wasn't a fan problem, and that the stock fan would work just...

    How to get past 2.35ghz with Athlon64?

    Tried changing only the divider down to 133 and still no go. Bumped up the FSB one notch to 236 and system would not boot. Why is it that I can remove one stick of ram and the thing will take off big time? I have my ram timings set to auto and they are 3.3.3.8 at 1T. Any tighter than...

    How to get past 2.35ghz with Athlon64?

    Been struggling to get past 2.35ghz for awhile then I decided to remove one stick of ram. After that I was able to OC to 2.42 with my ram at around 484mhz, that was great! So then after reading about bios version 1009 supporting the 400mhz ram speed I decided to go backwards to the 1009 and add...

    Problem saving Asus bios version 1009 as ROM file, autosaves as AMI file.

    The Asus flash utility says I have to use the AFUDOS utility in Dos mode when reverting back to a previous bios version. When I go to download version 1009 bios the file autosaves as an AMI file, not a ROM file which is what the AFUDOS utility looks for when updating in DOS mode. I have tried...

    ATI Radeon 9550 Overclocking and BIOS modding FAQ Guide

    What about the Bios mhz for the AGP card? In my bios, Asus K8n-E Deluxe, I can change the mhz setting of the AGP slot from 66 thru 75. If I use the ATI tool to overclock the card is there any reason/advantage to selecting a higher setting than the default of 66?
