Help with CPU's supported on A7N8x Deluxe

My Vcore is between 1.665 and 1.68 according to cpu-z ( too busy downloading to boot into BIOS). My CPU is one of the new locked ones, so I can't change the multi :( I have OCZ PC3200, so I know the rams not limiting it. I actually had to take the ram out of dual channel and into single channel...

Help with CPU's supported on A7N8x Deluxe

Gamepad recommendations, please??????

Thanks for the advice. I just noticed that there are adapters that let you use PS2 controllers on the PC. Are these any good??? If not, then I'll probably be getting that Logitech Dual pad, since I love the PS2 controller. Thanks :)

How far can I push my 2500+??

I have another question (sorry :) ). Sometimes when I try to overclock above 185 FSB, my computer freezes and my resolution and refresh rates are set back to default. I have the AGP bus set at 66 mhz, so I didn't think the videocard would mess up, which I think it is doing because of the...

Flashing BIOS dangerous??

Thanks guys :) I flashed my BIOS without a problem to 1006. I think i even managed to convince my father that its not that risky. He wants to flash his now, but he doesn't have a floppy drive.... Any suggestions??

How far can I push my 2500+??

Does dual channel ddr increase performance at all?? I have 2x256 MB in dual channel mode right now......... I'll try switching them to single channel and see what happens.... Is there any way to switch them to single channel other than physically changing slots??

How far can I push my 2500+??

Thanks for the input guys :) I set my ram timings to 11-3-2-2, my vcore to 1.75, and I still can't get above 190 :( I'm still at 185, and when I try for 190, it reboots or the monitor turns off :( I have my AGP bus locked at 66, so I don't think that's a problem, although I did get a videocard...

How far can I push my 2500+??

I just got a new 2500+ today with a AQYFA 0343RPMW stepping and was wondering how far I should be able to overclock it. I'm guessing it's locked, because although I CAN change the multiplier, it doesn't change the actual clockspeed :( Anyway, I have it at 185mHz FSB right now with the stock...

Flashing BIOS dangerous??

I was just wondering if flashing my BIOS is risky at all. I need to flash it to be able to use the 2500+ barton, but my father keeps telling me that flashing it is kinda risky. He says that if it messes up, my motherboard is dead unless I buy a new BIOS chip. Anyway, I tend to believe him since...

How do i flash my A7N8X Deluxe rev 1.04??

I need to flash my motherboard because I'm getting a barton 2500+, and I'm pretty sure my BIOS version doesn't support it. I bought it in January or February 2003, so it's a little old. Anyway, I'm not sure of my current BIOS version ( do I need to know it, and if so, where can I find it??), and...
