Well there are quite a few Expose' clones out there. Some are pretty good, might try those.

I know its Eye Candy, but I actually use it. If you own a 3, 4 or 5 button mouse, you can re-assign one of your buttons to evoke Flip3D.. Option 1: Your Mouse vendors Vista driver package already has the option to re-assign. Microsoft Intellipoint 6.2 has it, but not sure about others. Done...

I've posted this on a few of the forums I belong to, and figured I'd share it here also. As most of you know, Logitech has refused to offer Vista drivers for their older mice. I've got 2 MX300s which perform horrendously slow with Vista's generic drivers, plus the normal button options are...

By heavy use, I mean P2P, and USENET.

Anyone else having issues with the onboard lan? Mine keeps dropping out under heavy load. I first tried the Marvell driver off the ASUS install CD, then the Generic Marvell Yukon driver included with Windows XP SP2, and finally the latest driver directly from the Marvell website. All of them...

For Motherboard Monitor, run the configuration wizard, and choose "ASUS A7N8XLA. Start MBM, and open the settings and dashboard. Open the "Temperatures" tab. Set "Case" to ITE8712F-2 Set "CPU" to ITE8712F-1. Hit thew "Apply" button. Open "Voltages". Set "Core 0" to ITE8712F Standard 2...

Running 270 MHz X 10 @ 2.5,3,3,7, with an X2 3800 Toledo. Enabling overvolt increases VCore by .07. The ASUS probe verifies this, as well as Motherboard Monitor.

Had this board for 2 days, and am generally happy with it. I migrated from the ASRock 939Dual-SATA2, and this board is a bit more stable. BTW, I played with Motherboard Monitor, and finally got it to work with this board (I hate SpeedFan, and the Asus probe sucks). Select Asus A7N8XLA in the...

You can also hold down the "Insert" key while pressing the power button to boot the machine. Most boards will reset the BIOS to "Failsafe" default settings.

Follow my instructions above, but try with looser timings 3,4,4,10 instead of 2.5,3,3,10.

In BIOS... Set memory timings to manual. Set memory speed to 200 MHz (1 to 1). Set "Flexibility" to disabled. You didn't specify what memory brand you are using, so I'd try setting the timings to 2.5,3,3,10 to start with.

I'll assume you guys are using the USB connection? Windows comes with it's own USB2 driver, you might want to try using the ULI USB2 Driver. http://www.uli.com.tw/eng/support/drivers.php Select M1695 for unified driver. Another thought; if you are using USB, make sure "Legacy" USB is enabled...

I haven't complained about the quality of board itself, only the BIOS issues. It's become apparent that ASRock doesn't want to spend additional money for more extensive BIOS features. These additional features require more extensive BIOS coding packages from AMI. This latestest BIOS update...

I guess you've missed the whole point of overclocking then. Take low to mid priced components, and run them above spec to equal the performance of their higher priced siblings. I can't afford $200+ for a DFI with all the bells and whistles, coupled with an X2 4800, or my dream system with...

In a word, this new (1.30) BIOS SUCKS. Not only did they not address the lack of Vcore/Vdimm, but they managed to defeat the Vcore mods. In addition, Vcore adjustment, and Multiplier adjustments do not function anymore. You can set them to whatever you want, reboot, and the're right where...
