    *** Official EPoX 8RDA/+ (nForce2) Thread ***

    The memory is installed in the correct DIMM slots -- 1 and 2 or 1 and 3. I have tried both, and even tried it with only one stick installed. Same result. Am I missing a BIOS setting?

    *** Official EPoX 8RDA/+ (nForce2) Thread ***

    I'm running my 2100+ CPU at 166 quite happily on my 8RDA+ with memory in sync, but I cannot get my memory to run in dual mode. Memory is 2 X 256 OCZ PC3200, and CPUZ reports that it is running in single mode. Should'n't my memory function in dual mode? Isn't this what DDR means? I tried...

    Problem with Dual DDR in 8RDA

    I have the same issue with OCZ PC3200 running in single channel only according to CPU-Z. It is properly mounted -- any suggestions?

    *** Official EPoX 8RDA/+ (nForce2) Thread ***

    Yeah, well after those amazing results I tried to push the board to overclock at 200FSB x 8.5 -- not really overclocked. No dice. Then tried 166 x 1.5 -- again, not overclocked. Board locked, refused to accept values, and would not let me into the CMOS menu. Couldn't log on, coldn't load...

    *** Official EPoX 8RDA/+ (nForce2) Thread ***

    I have but one 8RDA+ board and can make it boot and function effectively at 260fsb -- won't crash and runs 3Dmark2001 in a continuous loop for over 12 hours. System was not overclocked as I did this: I used a low multiplier to see how high I could go before the platform became unstable. Also...

    *** Official EPoX 8RDA/+ (nForce2) Thread ***

    A while back there was reference in this thread to Nero CD burning problems. I have Nero InCD loaded in my Windows 2k pro system, and I have had a hard time getting it to work. Computer at first would not recognize the drive at all when a CD-RW disc was loaded, would go through motions to...

    MIDI Interface Problems

    A bit of info for those who search for ways to connect MIDI devices -- there is a converter that adapts your MIDI in and output to USB. Roland makes one, and so does Yamaha (though I have not found a source for the Yamaha stateside it seems readily availabe in Europe.) Cost is about $60, and I...

    MIDI Interface Problems

    Thanks for the responses. They were very helpful, and clarified for me why the keyboard wasn't working. Since I am a musician and not a techno junkie I needed to know just what you told me about chip design, and tells me just what my next step should be -- which is to install a sound card and...

    MIDI Interface Problems

    Thanks for the response -- another possibility is to install the EPoX board in another system destined for my daughter and get a new motherboard that will support my needs -- but I don't want to buy a new motherboard only to find it has the same incompatibility. Is it common for midi ports to...

    *** Official ASUS A7N8X/Deluxe (nForce2) Thread ***

    Since I am a newbie I hope this posts to the right place. If not . . . hang loose. I need info regarding the A7N8X. My recently installed EPoX 8RDA+ does not support full duples MIDI input and output; it renders my new system moot since I need it for music making. What can I do? Does the...

    MIDI Interface Problems

    I am a newbie, and recently built a computer based on the EPoX 8RDA+ motherboard only to find that it did not support full duplex MIDI interfacing through the gameport, where I conect my MIDI keyboard. Since I am a professional musician and composer the new computer is totally worthless to me...
