Faster at games and general usage in Windows Vista and eventually Windows 7.
The 775Dual-VSTA doesn't support quad core does it?
The revised E7500 has hardware virtualization baked in and the older one does not?
Just curious, can I run ANY 1066 FSB CPU in this motherboard?
I am currently running an Intel C2D e6600. I am tempted to "move up" to the Intel Core2 Duo E7500 Wolfdale 2.93GHz. This would give me an extra 530 Mhz but I'd lose 1 MB of L2 cache.
Is this a worthy upgrade? Actually, would...
Update on my situation:
I updated to the 3.17a BIOS and ran that a few days without problem.
I ordered this RAM from Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820211188
A-DATA 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Currently running it at DDR2-667 @4-4-4-12...
I'm interested in hearing more from those of you who are running 2x2GB of RAM. What RAM sticks are you using, what timings, speeds and voltages and are you able to run 32 or 64 bit versions of Windows?
I'm considering going from 2x1GB of ram to 2x2GB of RAM but am concerned that the board...
I just installed a MSI 8800 GTS 640 MB yesterday without difficulty in Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.
Actually, I came to this thread just to post this as an FYI and saw your post.
1. Uninstall existing video card drivers
2. Power off machine
3. Swap video cards
4. Power on machine...
Mine does that too (but not 75 seconds) when I have my USB HP Photosmart 7200 printer plugged in. When I disconnect the printer it boots much more quickly. It's probably some USB device.
I have an AGP card (7800 GS AGP) and Suspend to Ram works here. I'm running Vista Ultimate and had to apply a patch that affected the USB stack to get it to resume from sleep properly.
Suspend to RAM is working fine for me in Windows Vista Ultimate. I had to install the Microsoft hotfix listed several posts above but other than that, I did not have to configure anything. Bios rev 2.6.
According to the post above, DDR 400 should run at 1:1 when paired with a 800 Mhz quad-pumped CPU. However, this doesn't appear to hold true with your setup.
With a 1066 Mhz C2D you would need to pair it with 533 Mhz DDR-II.
Quad-pumped CPU bus = 1066 / 4 = 266
DDR RAM = 533 / 2 = 266...
Thanks Javvis for the voltages! Did you measure these yourselves or are these values documented somewhere?
I'm not sure that your CPU and RAM combo can run at 1:1. Cedar Mill is a dual core Pentium 4, right? NetBurst never seemed to mind running a non-1:1 divider or loose timings.
If...
So I'm evaluating DDR-II kits and most low latency RAM has to be run at > 1.5v.
However, the 775 Dual-VSTA only lists memory voltage as "high," "normal," "low," and "auto." Does anybody know what the exact voltages are?
How annoying!
Is anyone's startup time taking considerably longer after flashing to 2.6? It takes much longer to hand off to the boot loader now; on the order of 15-20 seconds or so.
I've tried clearing the bios via jumper and it continues to occur.
Also, I'm going to purchase a 2x1GB kit of DDR-II...
I had this board briefly and am waiting for another one.
I just wanted to add that I received a DOA board. If you take a look at the Newegg reviews, it seems that 10-20% of reviewers are also receiving DOA boards or are having IDE controller issues. But, since I don't know how many boards...
Have you used both to do work? Have you run the same professional apps that I have, with the same workflow? Have you done this with both an Athlon and Pentium 4 based system? I thought so.
I have a 2.4C in my home computer. It is overclocked to 3.3 Ghz with a Thermalright SP-94 cooler and a very small voltage bump, although it has reached this clockspeed with the OEM cooler.
I have to say that everything is far faster with this chip than my Athlon XP 3200+ at work or my 1.86...
mlykke,
Hi, I'm posting from an Asus V6V right now. Just got it last Thursday. Anyway, I haven't had any of the problems you mention.
You must have gotten a lemon.

Factually, was anything I posted wrong? Does this thread seem like an attempt to get people mad? I'm...
So this isn't quite the response I expected.
What's that for? I'm a douche because I'm asking where this site is going? Go obsess over your Mac somewhere else and save our bandwidth, cretin.
I posted here because I think Apple computers are not worth this site's time. With a tiny user...
I just read through the staggering number of Mac posts in Anand's blog. Apparently, Anand has a real enfatuation with these devices, which is fine.
I just don't understand what's going on with the site. The percentage of Mac articles has jumped recently. Apple has <5% market share and they...
Aha!
Thanks zodder, this is exactly what I was looking for. Is it better to enable driver overclocking or low-level hardware overclocking?
Right now I'm at 360 core and 511 memory! Stock is 270/400. This is unreal! With my older GeForce 2 Ti I was able to go from about 250 core to only...
Hi,
I just got a Visiontek GF4 mx440 graphics card (not my first choice....Its a long story.) I removed the stock passive heatsink and replaced it with a Vantec copper vga cooler which is working fairly well. I lapped both the gpu and base of the heatsink and used Arctic Silver 3 in between...
dbwillis,
I removed the known good stick of ram (leaving only the bad one) and ran memtest86. The memory was set to run at ddr333 speed (default for this board) and the fsb was not overclocked. Memtest86 ran a few tests but did not finish as it locked during one of them. I tried booting with...
I was going to comment on how much more stable my computer is now, but it crashed on my first attempt at writing this message...ugh!
I think that a major source of instability was the C-Media integrated sound. Often times the blue screen would reference the sound driver (cmedia.sys or...
Hi everyone and Merry Christmas. I hope you all got what you asked for. I got a brand new stick of GeiL DDR400 Ultra memory (256 mb) for Christmas. I have having stability issues running two sticks of this memory (GeiL 256MB PC 3200 DDR CL=2-6-3-3) at the same time. Below is an email that I...
