I just setup a new machine with a MSI 845 Ultra-AR, 2GHz Northwood, 1 stick of 512 mb DDR Crucial, Gainward Ti200 etc...
It went together pretty smoothly I have only had it running since last night. I went and changed the memory timings to be more agressive. When I did that the machine still booted and operates in windows ok. I played some Quake3 briefly, worked fine. The Prime95 torture-test fails after a few minutes. Would increasing the voltage for the RAM a bit be helpful, or should I just back off on the memory settings :-/ I figured the Crucial stuff would be able to take it.
I might be asking for too much as it seems Prime95 is a pretty strict stress test program, but I'd certainly like to try for 100% stability, even with more agressive memory settings.
Thanks.
