Leadtek K8N Pro (nForce 3 )Review!

[Mem]

Link .

Another day and another good Athlon 64 motherboard. Leadtek has packed this board with Firewire, dual Ethernet including Gigabit, SATA RAID 0+1, 6 channel audio, and data encryption. Stability of the board was excellent, and Leadtek provides good overclocking features in Windows and in the bios

.

Has anyone had any luck flashing the BIOS on this mobo? The Leadtek page has no instructions on how to do that. Also, how do I get the mobo to recognize that my RAM (in Dimm 1 and 2) should be considered dual channel (i.e. 512Mb vs 1Gb)?

-Thanks for the help.

Rustang,it tells you in the manual how to flash page 53 or go
here and download the manual,you need to login to download it "guest " & "88888" without the speechmarks for ID and password,btw welcome to the AT forums.

The skt754 A64 3200+ has a single-channel memory controller so no dual-channel capability. Thanks for the link Mem. I just wish they posted some overclocking results since the boards are all so close in performance@stock.

DAPUNISHER you`re welcome,I think we`ll see some overclocking benchmarks down the road from other sites when they review this model,unfortunately not all reviews around the web take OC into account.

Thanks for the link Mem. As a clarification, I have the socket 940 K8NW mobo (so supposedly it does support dual-channel RAM). Have you had any luck in setting up a dual-channel RAM configuration?

I did read the manual on how to flash the bios prior to posting, but didn't find any information on how exactly that works in Windows (there's a brief mention of this in the Notes section of the flash instructions). I know that when you run the flash prog in WinXP, you can select from a stack of three areas the part of the bios that you want to flash (don't remember the exact names of these areas represent, but I hope that you know what I'm referring to). If flash works from Windows, what do you do from this point on?
