null/void

Hi Evan, I would like to see you review the overall capabilities of the boards to use more than one DIMM memory module with various brands of PC2700 memory. I recently bought an Epox 4G4A+ board and found that it would not run two sticks of Samsung PC2700 CL2.5 rated mem modules at the DDR333...

The EPoX 4G4A+ seems very promising.

GotoDengo, thanks for the info on Epox 4G4A+ MB from the French site. I don't read French but tried to use the language translator site to translate the small blurp that I found at the link you gave us. I really does not tell us much details on what the probs were and what the fix was on the...

Which P4 Can Reach Highest Overclock Speed

Oh Okay HeinrichX, Thanks! I guess one day when I get the right stuff together I may be able to overclock this 2.26B to 3Ghz then...!?! :-) Right now, I cannot seem to get much out of it with my stock HSF that came with it and my Epox 4G4A+ MB. I think it is my Samsung DDR333 RAM that is...

Which P4 Can Reach Highest Overclock Speed

Hi all this mention to the P4 "a" or "b" type processors as in 2.26a or 2.26b has me wondering which chip I have... how does one determine what CPU type "a" or "b" they have? I have a P4 2.26Ghz CPU but don't know if it is a "a" or "b". On the box it says: PROD CODE: BX80532PE2266DSL67Y MM#...

Help! epox 4g4a+ won't post, wails like a banshee!

I would assume that you have already double checked your connections and everything, but I will mention it anyway, that whenever I got that wailing siren PC speaker error sound and no post LED light codes it was always (for me) that the memory module was not seated correctly in the DIMM memory...

The EPoX 4G4A+ seems very promising.

Acer, you are right again, I forgot about that fact... I remember looking at the Epox recommended compatibility listings awhile back and did not see the P4 2.26Ghz, 533Mhz CPU processor listed for this 4G4A+ board either! I said to myself, how the heck could a MB maker not test and list all...

The EPoX 4G4A+ seems very promising.

Okay I just got done testing out my system with two 512MB PC2700 (DDR333) CL2.5 rated Samsung memory modules in slots 1 and 3. It did not take long for my WinXP system to freeze up. It booted a couple of times into WinXP successfully but as soon as I started IE6 browser and start doing things...

The EPoX 4G4A+ seems very promising.

Acer, I am running all voltages at the default settings and I had also tried increasing the Vdimm memory voltage up to the max +0.7 and still the system would freeze up with two memory sticks installed in slot1 and slot2. I have not tried putting them in slot1 and slot3 combination and I also...

The EPoX 4G4A+ seems very promising.

Hi, I am experiencing instability and freeze ups when using two Samsung 512MB DDR PC2700 CL2.5 mem sticks populated in DIMM slots 1 and 2. With only one stick of 512MB mem in either DIMM slot 1 or slot 2 the system runs stable. With two sticks, even though the system recognizes 1GB installed...

AnAndAustin, I gave up with trying to run with two 512MB mem sticks and took one stick back out. I still experienced lockups with running two mem sticks in this Epox 4G4A+ board this morning. Anyway, with one 512MB stick in DIMM slot 1, it is running stable with no freeze ups whatsoever. So I...

Okay, I got around to try raising my Vcore voltage to about 1.7v in BIOS and Vmem boosted by +0.1v and am running at FSB=156, Auto DDR setting (DDR=312). Have had it running Sandra Burn-In for 15 cycles while I am surfing this forum and also playing my AverMedia TVStudio TV tuner card at the...

Epox 4G4A+ weak audio output & slow File System Benchmark?

Crapito, no I have not changed any of the vcore, vmem voltages yet. I ran all tests with default voltages. Since I do not have fancy cooling, I did not want to generate extra heat. I may give it a try for a short period to see how it holds up. BTW, I should mention that I am using some cheapo...

Epox 4G4A+ weak audio output & slow File System Benchmark?

Update: My PC WinXP crashed an hour afterward with BSOD! using FSB=150, 4:5 ratio DDR=375 setting. So scratch that setting for this MB and CPU combination. I tried FSB=149 auto DDR setting next and that ultimately crashed during Sisandra burn-in testing for 10 cycles. I now have it stable at...

Okay forget it, I give up... I tried running the sisandra burn in tests for CPU arith, Multi-media, cache mem for 10 cyvles and got a WinXP crash near the very end of the run using FSB=149, auto DDR setting, no voltage increases. Temps did rise to around 49C. I set it to FSB=145 auto DDR...

Hold Everything! My WinXP Pro just crashed at the FSB=150, 4:5 DDR=375 setting. :-( Default voltages used and AGP/PCI set to auto. Windows BSOD and system dumped the memory and said to "...restart if this is the first time seeing this error message...". So, now I lowered the setting to FSB=149...

Hi, I just overclocked my Pentium 4 2.26Ghz, 533Mhz CPU on my Epox 4G4A+ MB to 2.55Ghz. I am having no problems so far. It booted up just fine and Windows XP Pro booted up just fine and I ran some Sisoft Sandra benchmark tests. All without a hitch. I posted results of before and after on the...

Epox 4G4A+ weak audio output & slow File System Benchmark?

I have just ran a set of Sisoft Sandra benchmarks with the stock settings (no overclocking) to post here. I then went in and overclocked my FSB to 150Mhz and set 4:5 ratio which effectively set the CPU to 2.55Ghz and the memory to DDR600? Anyway, I ran it this way too and re-ran the Sissoft...

Epox 4G4A+ weak audio output & slow File System Benchmark?

I already do have powered speaker systems on my other PC systems and I ultimately will get a set of powered speakers for this new PC, but I still am concerned whether this low audio output level is normal or abnormal for the Epox 4G4A+ board(s). To me it seems rather weak and I was hoping that...

Oh, I forgot that important tidbit of info, my speakers are not powered. They are just plain small cheapo polk speakers that came with an HP Pavilion 7935 PC. I know that if I used powered speakers, then I would probably be able to get louder levels. However, since I cannot attain loud...
