I just put in this mobo and 512 of Geil 3500 ultra and my first boot with out doing any BIOS setting changes I have HEAVY video tearing in the bios boot up and when I get to the dest top. Thinking it was a ram compatability prob i changed to mushkin 2100 with same results. I'm using a Radeon 8500 and win 98 and only a modem in a PCI slot. Next I swap my vid card with a Radeon 7200 all tearing gone. So thinking some how I messed up my 8500 I put in my friends 8500 and all tearing is back. So Im forced to use the 7200 and scared to pony up the $ for the 9700 and have the tearing due to it is untolerable.
So just wondering if there is a compatbility issue with this mobo and the 8500 or what.
I did go into the bios and diable 8x support , even put the agp at 2x every differnt senerio I could think of and no help but i can max My FSB at 183 and get my 1.2 to a 1.490'sh with ultra timmings on the 7200 and is doesnt hiccup. But going back to a 7200 makes this upgade woth nothing.
