It seems like you can only use multipliers above 15x in your case. http://www.ocworkbench.com/2002/asus/a7n8x/a7n8xgallery3.htm The A7N8X bios in itself appears to be buggy. I have a locked palo 1800+, but all the multipliers are selectable for it in bios ( according to the manual, that...

You just need to put them in different banks. 1 & 3, 2 & 3, or all 3 ( where 2 sticks will be on the same controller ). I'm not 100% sure, but I believe you can use any size sticks @ any speed ( it'll just run at the slowest of the pair is you choose SPD ).

Most options can be configured in Bios. The only notable thing you cannnot do in bios is disable the SATA serial headers ( requires a jumper to be set ). I left mine to the default postion ( enabled ), and it delays the boot up time by 10 secs by looking for SATA drives.

I'm getting rather low scores as well. Running @ 133 FSB and the memory in sync, I get 2085/1975 using 2,2,2,5 timings ( 2 x 256MB Crucial PC2100 ). I've updated the drivers with no effect.

I can't vouch for 166+ FSB... but I've been running at 165 FSB on the P4B533 for a few weeks now, with 2 USB 1.1 devices, and 1 2.0 device. No problems.

Did you test all 3 CDs before the install process? It could be a bad image/CD.

I don't believe that's it. I dual boot between XP and Me, and in XP 163 FSB is fine... in Me it's not ( when running Prime95 ). :confused:

I've been running my P4 1.6A @ 163 FSB for about a week now, and ran Prime95 in WinXP Pro for 24hrs straight to check the stability. I also tried 166 FSB, and ran Prime95 for 12 hours without any problems, but 3DMark2001SE shows a few visual anomalies when I loop it, so I went back to 163 FSB...
