My video card on this asrock board is a radeon 9250 256mb. Any ideas why it appears as 2 (128mb each) cards in device manager? Is that because I have a 4200 dual core cpu? It puzzles me because I've seen no mention of this in any forum. thanks in advance.

SynthDude2001, thanks for your detailed comments. It is appreciated. WHat is a safe ceiling to keep cpu temps under? Does lowering the cpu multi. from x11 bring any benefits to the oc? I lowered memory to 5/6 and even tried 2T and 'auto' for other timings. No benefit. Sorry about the mem...

Hi folks. New at this oc thing. Not a gamer. Just trying to learn a little. I've soaked up as much info since Nov. as I can. The rest comes with hands on experience and advice. I have x2 4200 w/stock HSF, this board, 2gb crucial, raptor, ATI 9250 vid card. Put it together Sat... none...

sorry, my mistake. Moderators, this is supposed to be in the asrock 939 forum

I can still slightly move the hsf on the cpu when it is supposed to be locked.

I'm trying to mount stock hsf to my 4200..You lock it in place and it slowly unlocks. Any ideas? I followed the install guide w/ cpu hsf and also checked amd site. still no go.

Good afternoon folks. I ordered this asrock MB, 2GB crucial(2x1gb), and x2 4200 cpu. Somewhere I read about the Microsoft dual-core patch. I can't remember why or when it should be necessary. A reminder would be appreciated. thanks

I'm ordering: opty 165 box, asrock 939-sata2 board, 1GB kit Ballistix PC 4000. Can I get an OC of 2.4 or 2.5 on the stock HSF?

Thanks for the input. I'm more concerned about the company behind the board. I keep a build usually for 4-5yrs. Not a gamer.

I read 2 reviews on the Jetway 939GT4-SLI, one here, and at Tom's. The couple issues raised were addressed by bios updates per Jetway website. I'm looking for user input that will help me buy or avoid this board.

How do you get the $15 and DPA coupons on ebay?

Is the lan on the A8N-E a PCI or PCIe implementation? I found out that both Marvel chips on A8N32-SLI Deluxe are PCIe.

kpb, that was the point I was missing in my reasoning. I realized my mistake while I was out of the house. Thanks to everyone for your input. roadrunner650
