The Athlon 64 3200+ is UNLOCKED... sorta

The Athlon 64 setup is currently my workstation for research - writing computational codes, etc. So, it only has a Radeon 9200SE - nothing to get excited about. I doubt I'd get any good gaming scores with it... Anandtech and all the other A64 reviews should have these tests covered anyways...

The Athlon 64 3200+ is UNLOCKED... sorta

Okay, I emailed the "Dr. Pro" at Albatron for some further clarification... Here's the first response I got: --- My Question: I noticed the multiplier setting in the BIOS only allows for settings 10 or lower (in the case of the Athlon 64 3200+). Is there a chance of higher multipliers becoming...

The Athlon 64 3200+ is UNLOCKED... sorta

As I mentioned in my first post, it doesn't include the lock... too bad. Maybe a future BIOS update? Or we may just be SOL... I guess no one else is trying an A64 with 3 double-sided DIMMs... I'm still wondering if the limitation is the chipset (most likely), or my memory... hrm. Another...

The Athlon 64 3200+ is UNLOCKED... sorta

I just picked up my new Athlon 64 setup: Athlon 64 3200+ (socket 754) Albatron K8X800 Pro II (Via K8T800) (Link) The Albatron board is pretty nice - Envy24PT audio onboard, gigabit LAN, Serial ATA/RAID, etc... It also has many options for overclocking in the BIOS. Adjustable voltages (CPU...

Heeellllllppp!!**** Promise IDE Raid on K7T Turbo-R

Try putting your boot drive on the Promise controller, and set the boot option to SCSI (before IDE-x). You will need to set up an array like I mentioned above to boot off of the Promise controller. Also, make sure you loaded the drivers for the Fastrak that came with the motherboard - there was...

Heeellllllppp!!**** Promise IDE Raid on K7T Turbo-R

bluesky: I estimate that my boot time is around 1 min - a little slow (my Gigabyte setup seems to boot up twice as fast), but still bearable. My old A7V had a major delay (over 1 min) when loading the Ultra100 drivers - this was later fixed with new Promise drivers. Maybe the Fastrak is the...

Heeellllllppp!!**** Promise IDE Raid on K7T Turbo-R

jOjO316: Make sure the cables are pushed into the motherboard IDE connectors good - sometimes they stick up a bit on one side... it can be hard to tell when the board is in your case with your drives/cables/etc. Also, if you put CD-ROM drives on the Promise controller you (probably) won't be...

Heeellllllppp!!**** Promise IDE Raid on K7T Turbo-R

I think this is the case, but check the manual to be sure: If you want to just run one drive from the RAID controller, first connect it to the Via controller. Install the drivers for the Promise RAID controller (it should have come on a floppy with the board), and then shut down Windows. Move...

MSI K7T Turbo overclockers bios posted

Does the overclockers BIOS work on the Turbo-R? No problems with the RAID BIOS?

Which MOBO would you buy from A7V133, MSI K7T Turbo-R, KT7A Raid, or Iwill KK266?

I just upgraded from a K7T-Pro2A to a K7T Turbo-R... my Pro2A seemed to have problems with the multiplier - maybe I needed to connect the L7 bridges (this was on my Tbird 850 that I had at 1Gig on my old A7V). When I upgraded to the Turbo-R, I swapped in my Tbird 700 (put the 850 in a different...

MSI K7T Turbo overclockers bios posted

Does anyone know if this will work with the Turbo-R? If you go to the Turbo-R page, and click the BIOS icon, it shows that no BIOSes are available yet - just want to make sure so I don't trash my Promise RAID controller BIOS...

MSI K7T Turbo!

I haven't seen an K7T-Turbo boards out here in Akiba (Akihabara, Tokyo) yet... so I think they are still a ways off. We tend to get stuff here a few weeks before the U.S., so I'd guess close to another month.. I really wanted to pick up a Turbo board (I recently traded in my Rev. 1.01 A7V), but...

Gigabyte 7ZM & Multiplier Settings?

Gigabyte GA-7ZM (the micro-ATX KT133 board) doesn't support multiplier adjustment (I have one in my second machine). If you want to do it, find some info on connecting/cutting the bridges (L2/L3/L4, I think) to get various multipliers - kind of tricky, maybe, if you don't know what the limit of...

MSI K7Tpro2A Stable at last! But Still Not Happy...

Set the memory settings in the BIOS on the K7T-Pro2A to "By SPD" where available (I think the 2nd and 3rd options in the memory settings menu in the BIOS). This enables 4way interleaving and boosts memory scores a bit. Works for me in overclockers beta BIOS and the newest (2.2). Check...
