Make sure you have the latest BIOS. My Shuttle mobo didn't have 11.5-13 multipliers with the BIOS it shipped with, but the latest BIOS has them all (and recognizes the cpu as a mobile XP).Originally posted by: Dman877

I guess my feeling is, let the pentium buyers and A64 buyers eat up that overpriced ram. It has no place in a value system. The board does... as it has soundstorm, nice OC features, jap caps, and can't be duplicated cheaper. So does a $400 video card which can't be had cheaper and doubles performance over a $200 one. But expensive ram is a waste.

Just out of curiosity, what are you guys using for voltages? My 2400+ 35 watt seems to max at 2.52/1.76 volts (actual, it's 1.8 in the bios) and I don't know if I should go higher. I'm currently at 50 - 52C load (p95 load) with a swiftech MC462/50 cfm 80mm on it.
