SN95G5.. Socket 939 Shuttle

[Ka0t1x]

I'm new to the A64 things and I have no idea on compatibility.. Can I use just regular memory with this? I thought all Socket 939 Mobo/CPU's had to use ECC instead of non-ECC memory..?

Or if anyone has any comments about this shuttle please let me know 😉

Socket 939 requires regular pc3200 or higher memory, non ecc.

TY, I knew it was PC3200, but I couldn't figure out if it was ECC or not.

Would a 6800 Ultra Extreme card fit in this thing if you ordered the mesh grill case cover and removed the dual slot bracket? The cooler itself isn't as wide as the steel bracket and with the mesh on the side of the optional cover it could be pressed tight against the side and not be starved for air at the blower inlet. If you were to use a GT IO bracket, the cooler itself is more like 1.75 slots instead of 2.

Seems like a tight fit but judging only by pictures I've seen in reviews, there would be enough room provided the air path isn't blocked (which would be the case with the stock cover)

Power I hear isn't a problem despite the conservative 'watt' numbers of the shuttle supplies. What is the +12 current supply? I can't seem to find specs on Shuttle's website.

Or I suppose water cooling is in order... *thinks about how to fit a 120mm rad and pump inside a SN95G5*

PS: In case anyone is wondering 'WHY!?'... finally got a spot on the eVGA raffle for the 6800 UEE and now since I have SLI I want to put the UEE in my fiancee's machine and there is interest in the SN95G5 as the basis for a new AMD system.
