san diego always gets the shittier deals. here is 2800+ bare with crappier ECS board for 89. i would gladly pay the 10 bucks for the retail and a much better board.

can anyhone tell me what type of memory i can use in the ECS N2U400-A motherboard that comes w/ the 2800+? can i use pc2700? or should i use pc3200? will the mushkin pc3200 ram for $59.99 at fry's this weekend work with it? also, i have an old geforce 2 mx 4x agp video card.. would that work with this motherboard?

thanks

thanks

Definitely...

its a decent motherboard. i don't know why ecs gets a lot of crap but i've tried about 5 different models and they've been working just fine.

 

[lizardboy]

anyone check Austin yet?

 

[CrystalBay]

That is a real good deal especially with that 1GB mushkin deal for 129.00

Me too. But, they're heading east. They hit Chicago, then Atlanta, then indianapolis. I hope they stop off in Columbus and give Micro Center a reason to be price competative.

Good in the Bay Area. Two weeks ago, for $10 more, they had a 2.4C w/ mobo that people were able to get up to 3.2.

The Retail 2800+ is $130 @ NewEgg by itself and as far as I know, the mobo is fairly decent.

HOT deal.

Anyone that is going to the store this weekend, could you please pick up a

AMD Sempron 2200+ with motherboard $49.99 combo for me? I will gladly pay for the shipping and other expenses.


Your help will be greatly appreciated. Please pm me if you would help me out

Does anyone know if you have to flash the BIOS on this board in order to O.C. the processor?

 

[D-Man]

There is no Voltage adjustment on this board at all. I grabbed a combo yesterday and used a Barton 2500 Boxed from one of their last combos and it ran just fine at 2.2 which is Barton 3200 speeds. I was using the KT600-A from the last sale it also ran the Barton at 3200 Speeds. The 2800 chip from thr N2U combo ran at 185FSB solid but I opted to keep the 2500@3200. I have sold many of these combos from Frys in machines and they all run fine but you need a magic chip for good overclocking results. BUT for the money and the even limited overclock these combos are a steal in my book.

Like all nforce2 motherboards I have found certaim memory to be very good. Right now I have been buying any memory with a cas of 2.5 from Kingston (value ram) , Corsair and Mushkin. I have had Samsung work well too.

The Corsair is $42 for 256 stick at NewEgg, due to price I now use this one. I have had good luck moving the FSB to 200 (400mhz) most of the time with the XP2500 I usualy use. 3200XP!!!

I like this motherboard!

I used PC3200 Cosair Value and PC3500 K-byte memory in dual channel on this board and everything worked fine. Mushkin is better than K-Byte, so that ram on sale should be a great match for this board. I think the Bartons run at 333Mhz, so PC2700 and above should be fine.

 

[Tsunami982]

they have this deal at san diego and san marcos frys now!!!

 

[ceate]

Is there a good way to check if this motherboard is okay or not? I installed Mandrake 10 on this combo and everytime i use gftp, it keeps locking up. Browsing with Mozilla seems to be just fine. (CPU isnt burning up because WinXP apps work just fine)
