Thanks much bos, appreciate the info! Randy

I know many of you would find it blastphemous to run slower memory than a motherboard can handle. But my situation is that I'm not terribly concerned about having the fastest memory on a new system I need to build, and I have several sticks of PC2100 sitting around. I know that the new MSI K8N...

Anybody have a smoking deal on high capacity (7000mah or better) D cells? I need 5 of them. Thanks.

I was originally putting my 6353 mobo into the NetVista case, but that change when I decided to use it as the heart of an MCE system, because I couldn't fit the PVR250 card into the case... I'm still looking for the right case for me. btw - the sale may still be going on, OfficeMax stores have...

I'm using my 6353 as a Media Center Edition and it works awesome. 512megs of pc2100 (but the SiSoft Sandra 2300 memory bandwidth scores are still not very good) a the low power 1.2ghz Athlon, Thermalright SK6+ with a Panaflo 80mm fan, and the Hauppauge PVR250 TV card, and SnapStream Remote...

almost certainly the cpu. I've seen people mount heatsinks to the motherboard and not the white cpu socket, check over at overclockers.com maybe.

Does anybody know if this motherboard supports harddrives over the 137 barrier, say a 180GB drive? Thanks

Somebody was going to try and flash the BIOS with the BIOS from another MSI nForce computer. Any luck with that?

Yoyoda, I highly recommend you hook up the nForce to a computer monitor and the TV at the same time and then check the settings in the nvidia control panel - you can't change the setting without a TV connected to the S-Out.

Ziptar & Yoyoda, That is a 1 time operation setting it to NTSC from PAL. its really too bad you can set it in the BIOS but I don't see a way how. Not that I want to run dos and see it on my TV, but hey, Drive Image and stuff are sometimes needed... Anyway, I digress.

Yoyoda, you have to hook up the nForce to both a computer monitor, and a TV simultaneously, then to into the nVidia control panel and set the S-out to NTSC.

Ziptar, the MS6353 S/PDIF connector looks to me to be the JSP1, which is a 3 pin header. I believe the S-Bracket in the previous link is the 12 pin version which has inputs, optical and coax outputs. The other 3-Pin variety is just Coax out, no Toslink output, and no inputs.

There are two different S-Brackets for MSI boards, the one in that link is the wrong one. If memory serves, that is the one with a 12 pin header and the board we all have only has a 3 pin header. TV out works great, I've used it. I found no way to set the video type to NTSC in the BIOS, only in...

ZipTar, please show the URL to the case you're using. I'd like to see it.
