Running 2600 here with a 1.05 MB and CG, weveral month without pb)

Sorry thought it was for me ...

It's not xmaxx its me. I think I tried this one, but since there's not post and no floppy read ... nothing happens.

Well I'm not saying that the bios update caused my problems, but it started right after I installed 1007 ;-)

Santa was not nice to me : I tried installing this 1007 bios and received a lot of instabilities, crash over crash. I reverted back to 1006, but it also crashed DURING THE FLASH WRITE ! Now I'm stuck with a system that won't do anything : no boot, no post, no "crashfree" recovery, no voice...

Thanx, I'll chack again with memtest, and request a RMA if it's confirmed. How should I get replacement parts without sending the current ones first, so that I'm not blocked in the meantime ?

Stange, I am able to run 2.5 with 1.6v, which version / steeping you have ? For me I have a problem with my ballistix : I get memtest errors at any speed, any latency. The problem is that the recommended voltage is 2.8, and I can test it and determine if it's a voltage problem or a real...

mem @ ?

Ram vendors state that using 2 different sticks (I guess your 256 and 512 cannot be exactly the same) is not recommended. As an example, I tried using 2 different versions of the same product (Corsair 512 XMS CAS2 512Mb) and got a lot of problems. With identical sticks, no probs. This could...

Do you think 1,3 is better than 1.2 ? Reading the manual doesn't give this information ... anyone has facts abour that ? Did somebody try the beta 1006 bios whose dld link appeared in a post ?

AAARGH I son't have a 1.05, I'm stuck at 2.7 weeeeeee

For me 2500 is impossible on stock voltage, it runs fine (I'm at 2563 right now) with 1.6V, wich is not far from the standard.

Yes, but I've read (can't find where) that this "normal" rule applies only to multipliers being whole numbers, not for x.5. Was not speaking about having mult greater than stock (NC 3200 stock is 11) !

Yes, should be something like that for x.5 multipliers : FSB / 10 x multiplier x ratio. But what happens if the miltiplier is above 10 (10.5 for instance) ?

Should be your 333 settings (means 5/6 FSH) along with the x.5 multiplier, I don't remember the rule about not using whoile numbers, but for sure you should avoid. On sandra I get abot 3500 right now. Went up to 3800 but was unstable (too low voltage on ram leads to errors) on superpi.
