Well, I really screwed something up this time!:shocked: My son gave me an external HDD but I needed to re-format to NTFS. So, I loaded my XP disk & selected the proper drive, formatted & then the system tried to install XP. I kinda paniced & pressed Esc thinking no harm to anything. But, now I...

I've heard this can be done but at the expense of the 800 slowing down to match 667mhz. I have 2 matched 1gb, 800-PC6400s & 2 matched 512kb, 667-PC5300s. The PC5300s were given to me & I'd like to use them if I can, but, no big deal if I can't. Thought I'd ask before getting into trouble! Thanks.

Good advice. Thanks.

Yellowbeard, I found this interesting & more than once; a recommendation on going back about 1.5 years to an older BIOS, v1669, that had normal response times. Newer BIOS versions from that point, like v1755 in mine are slower with more than 4GB RAM for some reason. I tried to install v1669 in...

Reading carefully, on page 50 of my MB manual, it explains how to change POST. I haven't figured out how to post a photo yet but here's what it says without the illustration. http://support.intel.co.jp/sup...965ry/sb/CS-022980.htm Table 12. Jumper Settings for the BIOS Setup Program Modes...

To all; I really appreciate all your help. I've heard that this forum is a good one & now I can vouch for that. Intel must do things differently than say Asus & Gigabyte, ect. I've copied below the opening page of Intel's BIOS Settings Dictionary ? By Menu So Power-On Self-Test (POST) is an...

Sorry, I'm not seeing anything like POST in BIOS. Here's BIOS info with 4GB installed. Under Memory Configeration SDRAM Control <Automatic> CPC Override <Disabled> Memory Frequency <667 Mhz> tCL <5> tRCD <5> tRP <5>...

I'm not sharp as a tack with computers so please bare with me! I have done nothing to my BIOS. The BIOS is, however 100% up to date. The computer acts differently with 8GB installed. My comparisons to boot up speeds are 4GB to 8GB without any other changes & it doesn't matter which OS I'm...

Thanks for the response. Perhaps I didn't explain very well. Originally, I had 2GB of RAM. I wanted to max my system because 2GB frequently wasn't enough. So, I went to Intel's website & looked up my MB info. Intel said, "8 GB maximum total system memory using DDR2 667 or DDR2 533 DIMMs". So, I...
