Same here, so far so good. I oc'd easily without upping vcore to 2024MHz, ran stabily for hours, but did crash during a game. No telling if it was the OC or not caused it. The one thing that does seem to happen, which may be a BIOS issue or maybe an OS issue: overfilling the keyboard or mouse...

You can adjust the FSB in 1MHz increments You should try to keep the Hypertransport Bus at or below 1000; ideally 1000 but don't be afraid to drop this down if you can't get stability. Basically, it's the communication speed between CPU and everything except memory. RAM SPD is in advanced...

Umm, yes, I was wrong...I've edited my original post too, to avoid screwing anyone else up. Pages 50 & 51 in the manual. I would be tres careful, however. Back up the old Bios if at all possible; and if something goes wrong don't turn the system off.

<WRONG:> That would I believe be a 'no'. I don't think you can update via a floppy without a HDD on this rig. I haven't tried, to be honest; the original bios works fine. </WRONG:> Page 50 & 51, motherboard manual. The only problem with the Soltek software is I believe the Temperatures on...

I just bought and installed this board. Installation was easy (though tight for my Antec 1650 case). It's a quiet board, the only active fan on it is on the CPU (A64 3000+). RedStorm2 does NOT work on this platform "yet". I emailed Soltek and got a prompt reply that their software engineer...

Sadly for us po'boys, I love that thang... Yep, my system is still chuggin' along with one.:(

I am wondering if anyone has run tests to see what difference memory configuration makes to system performance. I've seen the reviews of NF2 vs. VIA, but how about same system, performance increases from say 128 to 1GB RAM; whether a single stick of 1 GB RAM is better than two 512s, what...
