    AMD 690G does not support Vista 64-bit with 4gb ram?

    New GA-MA69G-S3H BIOS F5 up! http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Sup...el.aspx?ProductID=2554 edit: everything fine so far, although system didnt boot up after flashing (reset to defaults before flashing too), CMOS clear did the job. Phenom support, support für 1TB HDDs, dont see any other changes,

    K9A Platinum problems with PCI-e video

    When a BSOD occurs, Windows shuts down the HDD to prevent further data loss or HDD damage. That might be the clicking and the BSOD might not be rlated to the HDD at all.

    Intel DX38BT "BoneTrail" motherboard officially posted

    Well thats a really good looking board. Even the box looks great. I dont like fancy colors :) And Intel enthusiast boards are always great performers as well. Too bad im not going for an update the next two years :) I really hope ATIs 3870 will be quite a performer too, two of them...

    Who has the best onboard IGP?

    Under Vista32 and other 32bit OS there can only be used a maximum of 3GB to 3.5GB Ram depending on the installed hardware. Under Vista64 (dont know about XP64) especially the graphics adapter and southbridge couldnt address anything beyong that 32bit barrier resulting in instability and...

    Who has the best onboard IGP?

    It is still a chipset issue, because all ASUS 690G boards have the same probs. Its more like a BIOS workaround. Nonetheless, at least for Gigabyte and 4GB it works now.

    uATX Update

    Nope, 3h of Neverwinter Nights 2 without problems. System isrunning fine now. The 8GB problems might also be memory controller related I guess. Is Memtest fine with 8GB? edit: System still absolutely stable, over 8h now, lots of gaming :P

    uATX Update

    Gigabytes F4 (S3h) and F3 (S2H) BIOS seem to solve the &4bit issue, at least my S3H is working fine now with 4GB RAM. But the BIOS seems to change quite some things, I had to reactivate Vista...

    AMD 690G does not support Vista 64-bit with 4gb ram?

    ASUS Boards have the same problems, also both Gigabyte Boards. http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=260014 Runs perfectly fine with MSconfig hack. Without Catalyst drivers installed also 8h Prime95 stable, because then the graphics adapter wont use the address space. With onboard...

    AMD 690G does not support Vista 64-bit with 4gb ram?

    Today I got a gigabyte reply, they only say that the board is damaged and I should RMA it. They just completely ignore the fact that Memtest x86 runs completely stable for hours and the MSconfig hack just removes every problem and the system is 100% stable. And its really very unlikely that...

    AMD 690G does not support Vista 64-bit with 4gb ram?

    MSconfig hack is simple: Start MSconfig - Start - Advanced - set "Maximum Ram" to 4096 (I dont know exact descriptions in english bacuase my vista is german) :) So with every Windowsstart there will be only used 4GB - address space for video adapter etc, which makes in my case 3325MB Ram with...

    uATX Update

    My board isnt even uATX, it only uses a chipset common in uATX boards. But I really hope they can fix that 690G/4GB/Vista64 issue by BIOS updates...

    uATX Update

    I'm really curious if I'm able to use my full 4GB of RAM on Vista64 before I switch to a Phenom AM2+ Board thats not AMD/ATI-built... I bought Vista64 to use 4GB instead of 3.3GB RAM, but until now I had to stick with the limitation on 3.3GB, on a board that has Vista Premium Logo + support for...

    AMD 690G does not support Vista 64-bit with 4gb ram?

    Well, so im going to wait for some decent NON-AMD Phenom AM2+ Boards to replace my Gigabyte. Customer support about this issue really sucks.

    AMD 690G does not support Vista 64-bit with 4gb ram?

    Right now I dont know anyone else using an 690G Board with 4GB Ram. I also dont wont to remove my heatspreaders on my memory because I dont really know how those new Vitesta Heatspreaders are attached to the modules, for me it looks like they are glued hehe. But memory isnt the problem. I can...

    AMD 690G does not support Vista 64-bit with 4gb ram?

    Ok well then sounds logical. But why doesn't my mobo have that fucking option (PAE is for 32bit Systems, got that mixed up) :) Might resolve that problem. I have contacted Gigabyte and ATI about this problem, maybe there is a chance that they can fix it. I've just read some articles about...

    AMD 690G does not support Vista 64-bit with 4gb ram?

    http://forums.anandtech.com/me...=2106970&enterthread=y Same problem here, it is definetly not related to the 4GB Patch or anything else you might have proposed. Use MSconfig to set max. RAM to 4096MB so Vista will only use 3329 MB -> no problems at all -> fucking adressing Problem, either...
