Oh yeah, here's something else I found in a thread here:

I take it you installed WinXP on your system, correct? Is your installation CD already patched with SP1? If not, it will not create a partition larger than 132GB. If you look around the 'net (Google it), you can find out how to slipstream your CD with SP1 (or SP2). Anyways, what you're...

Explain what you mean by "random problems". The only things in your config that I can see causing a problem is that you are not only running mis-matched capacities of DIMMs, but you're also running different (lower end) speed grades of RAM. Any HD corruption you're likely experiencing is...

Ummm.. just a quick observation (feel free to ignore it if you like). Doesn't the Asus A8N-SLI have a "special" feature called P-E-G mode, where it (covertly) overclocks PCI-x graphics cards? You might want to try turning it off and see if it resolves it. It could be either a timing issue...

Ummm.... get rid of that 256MB DDR266 DIMM. THAT'S what's causing your problem!

Mine's been working fine since I flashed it with the F7 BIOS. No complaints here.

Awww... c'mon! Live life on the edge! :) I just flashed my system with it, and it seems OK so far. One thing I noticed is that the BIOS now does overclock checking at POST. When I boot my system, at the POST screen, it detects that I am overclocking my system, and suggests that if I...

What are my thoughts? You should have forked out the money for a better PSU before it took your vid card and motherboard out. Now it's going to cost you not only for a PSU, but for a vid card and a new motherboard. Sorry if I sound like a jerk, but in a way, you were asking for it if you...

Yes, it's overclocked (461GPU / 1.17RAM). I'm not really interested in going for the best AQ3 score I can get though, so I'll stick with the 66.71 drivers I've got installed for now. It's running fast enough for what I want it for (EQ-II). It's noticeably faster in all the games I play over...

Hey guys, I finally retired my 128MB 9800Pro. I got a 6800Ultra AGP, and slapped my waterblock on it. Check out my AQ3 score now. :) http://arc.aquamark3.com/arc/a...iew.php?run=1626742817

Looks like somebody got up on the wrong side of the coffin this morning. :) j/j Sorry... was looking for an excuse to use that line. hehe

NICE FIND!!!! Hummm... now I know what I want for x-mas. heheheh. Open the control panel and select Sounds and Audio Devices, and under the VOLUME tab, click the ADVANCED... button (or just double-click on the speaker icon in the systray :) ). In the speaker window that opens, click the...

Minor update on my rig. For a while now, Norton System Protection was crashing on system startup, and I couldn't figure out why. I also couldn't run 3dMark2001 anymore. Well, I think I figured out why. Apparently one of my Raptor's has a bad block on it. I'm in the process of reformatting...

You know, your making me jealous. Now I'm just going to have to get an nForce4-SLI w/dual 6800Ultras... and slap some 226W TEC's on them and my CPU! :evil: :D

I feel your pain bro (ask you already knew from the other thread). The following is in response to other's posts in this thread. Why did I go with the K8NSNXP-939? Not so much because it was the "only thing available" at the time. I was upgrading from a Gigabyte 7NNXP that ran FLAWLESSLY...
