Well I ended up getting some Corsair DDR2 533, model that was listed in the motherboard manual. It is still booting it as ddr400 with 1.5-2-2-5 and it wont change no matter what the bios settings are changed to. Im still getting the same crap answers from ECS so Im just getting a different...

Yeah Ive cleared the cmos and tried to flash with the newest bios on their site, which is older then the one it shipped with:/ Ive built numerous systems so I have a good understanding of what Im doing but this one just baffles me.

Yeah I know. I am currently running 1 stick but I can do 2 with the G.skill if you think that would make a difference, I only have 1 stick of the other. The G.SKill is the 1GB HZ sticks that claim they are designed for amd but one boots just fine. I also noticed that my ram timings I set...

Ive been looking in to ddr2 but I want to know if this board is going to run it at its rated speed. This is a budget build so I dont care about features but I would expect any motherboard should be able to run ram at its rated speed. I make sure its going to run ddr2 at its rated speed other...

I did update the bios I like to keep things up to date. When removing the scythe heatsink I examined everything inside of the computer. When I removed the 1800 I noticed a strange black line on the cpu. Ive been building pcs for about a decade and thought "Huh thats odd" but I couldnt...

Ive had a cheap pc that I built running flawless for over 6 months now. I had a chance to upgrade the cpu from an athlon xp1800 to a brand new Athon 2600 Tbird, and make some money off the deal. Ever since Ive installed the new cpu Ive had nothing but problems and would like some advise where...
