    I tried it again with the Patriot 1600 memory; I get an overclocking error when I run the xmp presets with the patriot. I don't get it.

    ** EVGA X58 SLI Unboxing and Core i7 965 Extreme Rig Setup **

    "Does not work on XMP" -- I have the same issue in my ASus p6T board, running this memory. Do you know why it won't work? Do you just manually set the rate to 1600? Michael

    cool & quiet on x2

    It's hot in here. I put a new x2 in my system and I cannot get cool and quiet to function. It says it's on in the bios, and the driver is run, but the app says "2400". It's a a8n sli deluxe. Anyone have a thought? Thanks very much. Mike

    f6 "disk" for SIIG Raid driver

    I apologize for the n00b question: but if I install a new OS on my A8n SLI deluxe with the SIIG rad controller (raid 0), I think I need that driver on a disk -- how do I do that? Any suggestions? thanks! Mike

    Who has an SLI system working with LCD monitor?

    For desktop apps you have to run native 1920x1200 or it is not good. I run farcry and half life at full 1920x1200, but you can run at less fine because the images in games don't need to be as crisp as desktop. The issue is monitor timing. On CRTs the default is GMT (general monitor timing)...

    Who has an SLI system working with LCD monitor?

    It's not true. I'm using a 1920x1200 Sony 23" LCD flat panel with SLI - no problems.

    Is SLI disabled or just not a bios option anymore. There's really no reason for it to be in the bios since it's driver controlled; no? Michael

    Hyper - did you install on a secondary hard drive? I have tried "turning off" my SIIG Raid 0 to use a Western Digital 200 gig hard drive but it keeps telling me that the operating system cannot be found.. "error loading operating system." I'm thinking this is a problem with the master boot...

    WinXP x64 RC2 released !

    seattle - can you help me identify the sata drivers? when I loaded xp64 I got a "cannot load operating system" error each time at boot. I assume that's because the "makedisk" utility I downloaded from asus did not work. any links? thx. Mike

    WinXP x64 RC2 released !

    Okay, I'm stumped. How do you do that? my nforce4 drivers (kit) from nvida is 38 megs. How do you get an a: drive accessible driver setup to load? Thanks for any help. n00b. Mike

    xp 64 sata drivers?

    I read repeatedly on this forum that you need to have your SATA or Nforce4 (my case) drivers on a floppy, but they are 34megs. How do you load them? I keep getting errors on my a8n sli system that it cannot load the operating system - rc2 -- I'm assuming that's becuase I haven't loaded the...

    n00b - cpu replacement on asus board

    I have a great new asus a8n-sli board with AMD 3800, and I have no need for immediate change. I'm thinking dual core next year though -- but have NEVER replaced the CPU. This is a Velocity Micro machine. Is it hard or risky to unlock the heatsink and cpu and replace it with retail boxed cpu...

    DEP/AlwaysOff performance impact

    I have been reading about Data Execution Prevention (DEP) in SP2. It is a software bit debugger that exploits a feature in AMD64 processors. I have seen some threads suggesting that the boot.ini file should be changed to "AlwaysOff" to eliminate this "feature" for better performance. I did...

    Beta BIOS 1004.001 for ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe

    I have that warning too. I had that in one of the beta 1003's, and it was fixed in the final. She's back. I just F1 bypass it.

    questions about the hp l2335 and lcd in general

    SLI and large digital play together fine, I have sli and a sony 1920x1200 --- the key is using the right monitor timing. You MUST use CMT, not GMT, which is the default on nvidia 6800gts running in sli mode. GMT has blanking data for crts which will overwhelm dvi interface. CMT is for LCDs...

    A8n-SLI (Single channel vs Dual Channel Memory)

    A8N-SLI Nvidia raid vs silicon image raid

    Am I right that if you enable NVIDA raid on this MOBO then ALL of your drives are going to be raid? e.g., both the SIIG four SATA slots AND the red SATA slots? If you enable NVIDia raid on a running system, is that a reformat... that is to say, I'm happily using siig now, and if it means a...

    A8N-SLI Nvidia raid vs silicon image raid

    I think if you turn the NVIDA raid on then you will have 4 SIIG raid and 4 nvidia raid -- e.g., no non-raid drives. If that works for you (e.g., 4 or 2 drives) that's ok, but your note about the diamond max suggest that it needs to be on a non-raid SATA slot.

    ASUS A8N SLI - Corrupted Installation of nv Firewall [Resolved]

    Asus A8N-SLI Overclokers

    BigGreen - I have the exact same issue on mine. When you say your are running 5/6 memory timings, are you saying that you set the DDR to 333 instead of DDR 400? I wonder, too, when you do the overclock you describe, do you get appreciably better benchmarks? (i'm running on a 3800 at...

    Working ASUS A8N-SLI

    Dr Rios - you CAN salvage your high-res monitor - the NVIDA drivers are set to default at GMT monitor timing which will crash a DVI connected 1920x1200. Change it to CMT and it works fine. I had a hell of a time doing this, working through ASUS, Velocity Micro and Evga and had to figure it out...

    A8N-SLI Memory DDR400 or DDR600?

    I didn't know this about DDR 333. I have four 512s on my A8N board. It boots stock to 333, but I set it to ddr400. Should I not be doing this? It shows up on CPUID as the difference between runninga at 166mhz and 200 mhz. I confess - I'm a little confused. Slower with four DIMMs? Any...

    Is anyone else experiencing excruciating slow rendering of drawings in word, power point in sli mode? Graphics made with "draw" function barely paint on screen. This is not the case with sli disabled. Any ideas? Thanks, Michael
