    A8N-SLI (Non Deluxe) BIOS Version

    It doesn't. The 1001 bios overvolts your cpu as well when set to auto. You said it yourself it an earlier post. You are of course free to do with my recomandations what you like. Anyway, the difference in my country is not 50 USD, only 16 USD, well worth it :)

    A8N-SLI (Non Deluxe) BIOS Version

    It turns out I've bought fram a very serious and customer friendly webshop. The MB goes back due to inconsistencies in bios (1001 doesn't detect cpu right, beta bios doesn't detect memory timings right, can't get more than 1,45 V etc). I'm going for the deluxe edition...can only recomend others...

    A8N-SLI (Non Deluxe) BIOS Version

    I'll take that as a confirmation that you have experienced the same as me. Guess we just have to wait until the bios is official, meanwhile ASUS support is silent as the grave.... I tried to rma my board, but the dealer wouldn't take it back either. Guess I'm stuck with it :(

    Experiences of 64 bits operating system installs on AMD64

    I don't know how to follow the instructions in the fedoraforums thread, I'm pretty sure I will be able to install the cumulative nvidia patch :) Thanks for pointing me to it. Now, if I only could get suse9.2 64bit to install....

    Experiences of 64 bits operating system installs on AMD64

    I haven't seen that thread bersl2, thanks. Guess I am not used to patching graphic drivers.... As you may have noticed, only one 64bit linux installed at all, FC3. I don't see any fixes for a strange cursor. I know of a solution...

    Experiences of 64 bits operating system installs on AMD64

    I desperatly want a working 64 bits OS on my comp. Here's my setup: AMD64 3200+ ASUS A8N-SLI (non-deluxe) 1 sata and two IDE drives and a IDE dvd combo drive. OS goes on one IDE drive. Leadtek GF6600GT So far this is what I've tried, remember 64bits only SUSE 9.2 (did not...

    A8N-SLI (Non Deluxe) BIOS Version

    As Visual said, the 1001 bios can get you up to 1.57 V with bios set tu 1,52 and clockgen set to 1,45 V. While this is good, the beta bios cannot raise me anywhere above 1,45 V, as I experienced before. I flashed back to 1001 and, with a new d/l back to beta. Same result as I had before. Guess...

    A8N-SLI (Non Deluxe) BIOS Version

    I'll have to try another flash for sure, but if I can get it up to 2600 with the 1001, I might just stick with it :) It's been a while, but I think I could reach 2200 stable (1,4 V) and 2400 unstable (didn't get enough volt to cpu, just 1,45). All with the beta bios. Readings in the hw...

    A8N-SLI (Non Deluxe) BIOS Version

    If I understand you correctly, I'd set 1,52V in bios and use glockgen to get to 1,58 (controlling it in cpu-z or speedfan). The problem I've had with the beta bios is that no matter what I did, I couldn't get above 1,45 V (readings in cpu-z). Also, when I was in some of the menues in bios (in...

    A8N-SLI (Non Deluxe) BIOS Version

    This is actually quite usefull information Visual :) I downpatched my bios to 1001 and tried again, but now the vcore readings were strange. I could get higher than on the beta bios (now up to 1,56 something) if I belive cpu-z. Glockgen gave lower readings and the bios itself also gave...

    A8N-SLI (Non Deluxe) BIOS Version

    Well let me tell you that on my board, I cannot raise the vcore above 1,45V with my winchester 3200+. This is why I want a new bios. I too has been in contact ASUS about this. And our friend Ailon did not answer any BIOS question that I have, but suggested I sendt inn my CPU for testing. I...

    Which OS for a p166 mmx?

    Thanks a lot for your opinion guys! You've been great! Here's what I'll do. First, I'm going to try win98se, allthough I agree with what you've suggested, it'll be too slow or won't work at all. Then, if that crashes, I'll try win95 osr2, and finally BeOS or linux as a final way to get it up and...

    Which OS for a p166 mmx?

    Thanks for the input guys. It seems like I've messed up. After a recount yesterday, it turns out I only got 24 MEGs of RAM. Damn! Now what? Do you think win98se can run on this?

    Which OS for a p166 mmx?

    I assure you, I will not pay $40 for BeOS. I think I'll try win98se and see how it goes. As for the person, it's my girlfriend and I'm living with her, so I'll definitly hear it if it doesn't work satisfactory ;->

    Which OS for a p166 mmx?

    I don't want to go into linux. The person whom will be using the computer is not familiar with anything besides windows. BeOS sounds interesting, however the personal edition seems to have major limitations. I really don't want to , gosh, buy BeOS proffesional ;-) . I might be wrong though.

Win98se is most stable, put I recond the performance would be too slow. Win95? Gee, hope not. Seem to remember the dreadfull blusecreen. The machine will be put to...

    Schindler's List

    I have to dissagree. The book offers a more reflective view of Schindler than the movie. There is more room for what you, as a reader, think of him. The movie, on the other hand, tells a hero story, and that is too narrow, in my opinion. But I agree that it's worth reading the book if you liked...

    how to enable "WinAspi32" in Win2k for Clonecd??

    Oh yeah, the aspi is a program like any other api's. It tells the OS how to use the hardware. It seems like some program rely on it and some don't. Sorry I don't know anything more about this technical stuff.

    how to enable "WinAspi32" in Win2k for Clonecd??

    Yes it is better not to use aspi with win2k. I don't know if plextor have released an aspi-driver for win2k (in win98 these come with the install). Sony (my cdrw) haven't, so I try not to use programs that uses aspi drivers for the burner. When I installed adaptec easy-cd creator 4.02, an...

    Problems with Geforce2 and white flickering, please help

    I don't know if this helps, but it seems like a D3D problem. I've experienced it even worse, as opengl games worked fine, but D3D games har white horisontal lines across the screen (Geforce 256 DDR by the way). Turned out that the memory on the videocard was faulty, so I returned it and got a...

    how to enable "WinAspi32" in Win2k for Clonecd??

    Probably because you've had an ASPI driver of some sort (Adaptec perhaps?) installed on the older win2k version. But why do you want to run clonecd in that mode? I don't and it works like a breeze :-)

    Which speaker-set to buy, FPS1000 or FPS1500?

    I've decided on the Creative SB Live! 1024 soundcard (~60$). Speakers are still a quetion. FPS1000 or FPS1500 or FPS2000. Those digital bastards cost a heap of money, but the other two are affordable. Is it worth going for the 1500's? Are the 1000's any good at all, or are the 2000 sooo much...

    Which speaker-set to buy, FPS1000 or FPS1500?

    I'm planning to buy a new soundcard and a 4 speaker sourond system. On the cards side, I'm biased towards the SB Live! 1024, 'cause it's cheap and good (?). Speakers are as mentioned above. Question is, what's new about the FPS1500 and are these speakers old technology and worth buying at all...
