When they first came out and when I bought mine. I seriously considered the PC3200 version because it was one of the only 2225 1T sticks of 3200 at the time. After reading reviews that the pc4000 did the same timings at ddr400 I jsut went for the 4000. But my point is that they were...

I've been through 4 s754 mobos in the last 9 months. Two of them were ASUS offerings, one the MSI K8N Neo Plat. What am I using now and what has given me by far the best OC? The DFI Lanparty UT. I'm in total love with this board. I used to be a big ASUS fan, but after their A64 offerings...

Couple questions: Do you have the drive plugged in correctly with good sata cables? SATA cables can go bad fairly easily. Make sure you have a working on. Do you have SATA 3/4 enabled in the BIOS? Do you have the SATA power cable plugged in? You should reformat the drive through XP...

The 800 listed on your mobo is for Hypertransport. HT is doubled from what ever the clock speed you run your memory at multiplied by the HT multi. So at a FSB of 200 and HT multi of 4x you are at 800 then double that for the HT speed. This is where you see the 800/1600. Yes both of those 754...

I've had one for a few days. I'm running 24/7 stable with FSB 250, a multi of 9x, 1:1 and 2.5-3-3-10 1T. My Sandra scores are off the chart for memory. I came from an MSI K8N Neo Plat and this is leaps and bounds better. DFI did very well on this mobo.

Also don't expect much over 250 with 2 DIMMS. Plus your RAM may not want to go much past PC4000, which is a FSB of 250 with a 1:1.

I ordered one from http://www.ctselect.com/mot-df-24.html this afternoon. Ships tomorrow. They have 2 more in stock (I called before I ordered). They are a brand new company, but since they are through Yahoo Shopping I felt secure enough to give them a shot. At $129 shipped I couldn't...

Wow, see problems aren't always just the mobo's fault. Good call on tackling the problem rationally and in logical steps.

Although I'm sure the new ASUS board will be nice, there is no way of knowing it too will be issue free. I'm using the previous ASUS A64 solution and let me tell you it has had more than its share of issues since release. From exploding and leaky capacitors, loud interference noises, RAM...

Is this with SP, actual online multi or both? If it is just online are you using the hardware firewall?

Ehhh, I've read issues with the Epox as well...even in reviews. I think all these new baords witht his chipset are bound to need some kinks ironed out. It just comes with the new technology.

2.8v is fine. However I have a feeling you are asking too much out of that mobo/chipset. That 220 HTT is pretty high for that mobo considering its lack of a PCI/AGP lock, well assuming you are using a mult of 10 or 11. In fact on my 2400+ and the K8V I can't reach 220x11 at all.

Yeah I've actually been on the MSI support forums for about a week reading up. Still nothing I didn't see with the ASUS K8V Dlx or expect already with the Newcastle core (which I'm glad I don't have). A lot of it seems fixable through BIOS and driver updates. MSI seems very intent on working...

I completely agree with the first statement. I know MSI siad it would initially, but now they clearly say it will not. People shouldn't be surprised when it doesn't work with these CPUs. As for the hit and miss on the desktop CPUs...I'm still out on that one. I know a lot of folks love this...

Are you getting fan power? Any POST errors? Sounds like you forgot or didn't seat the +12v 4-pin conenctor to the mobo as well as the big standard connector.
