    FSB is somehow locked up? EP-UD3P

    In the past, I successfully had my fsb set to 400mhz x 8.5multiplier = 3400mhz. Now it will only boot at 266 fsb. If I change it by even 1mhz, it will reset itself to stock! What I find even more strange is that I can use the software overclocking (Easy Tune6) and it successfully runs at 300...

    Whats up with overclocking my memory more?

    I'm running an 8rda+ at 200 fsb and memory is 100% at 200 ( 5-3-3-2 ). I know this ram can do more, but if I set the memory at 120% or 240mhz ( 7-3-3-2.5) it won't even post for me. I thought, hey maybe the ram isn't as good as I thought, but I set the fsb at 183 and memory at 120% or 215mhz...

    Whenever I setup a dedicated server in cs 1.6 it won't show up for other people. It's behind a router, and I can join the server with my other computer behind the router. I think this is the problem, but maybe not. Any help appreciated.

    Questions about Abit NF7

    What's the difference between the v1.2 or v2? Are they all v2 now, or what is a good place to guarantee the later version? I plan on at least 215fsb or so. Will it easily get me there? I need ram to match. I was thinking of twinmos pc3700, but I'll take recommendations.

    New monitor. . . WOW

    I was using some generic 17" with 60hz refresh rate and my eyes were dieing, so I knew I needed something else. I bought a new sony e400 for 170, and wow what a difference it makes. I actually enjoy reading things, and playing games is sooo much better. I just wish I bought one earlier.

    How often do you reformat?

    I format my C drive every time it gives me any crap at all, or if I've installed too many things in the last month or two. Only takes about 20 minutes to install windows + everything I use for a format.

    QUAKE 3!!

    Why do I always hear people saying how they dont need 300fps instead of 250fps? In the settings I normally play at, I only get around 50-60 fps. 1600x1200x32 4xAA 8xAF Do they mean benchmarking in 640x480, do people actually play in 640x480, or what?
