Yeah... that's what I thought too, I don't know about bringing the AGP fsb above 66MHz. This board doesn't have AGP lock right?Originally posted by: fbrdphreak
crazymofo,
Kingston PC-4000 isn't a "waste" in the K8V, but the K8V has DICK for OCing abilities so you won't get the full DDR500 out of those chips in this board (in my opinion). You'd be better off spending your money on some good Corsair or OCZ memory with 2-2-2 timings at DDR 400 with this board. However, I am using a 512MB stick of the Kingston in my board at this moment to test it and it works fine. Actually runs SLIGHTLY quicker than my 2x256MB Corsair PC-3200LL TWINX512-3200LLPT. I work for Best Buy and get a helluva deal on the Kingston and that is the ONLY reason why I'm using it.
For the ATI drivers... don't load the drivers that come with the card, download the updated drivers and it should work fine. Worked for me. :beer:Originally posted by: fodao
Hey man, thanks for the tips! I'll try the VIA next time. But I have a question: if you are connecting only 1 SATA hard drive, do you still have to setup a RAID 0 configuration?
From what I've read in other foruns, the ATI TV card is really a bitch to make it work. Itr was working in my previous system (WIN XP Pro, Athlon 800 MHz, Gigabyte mb), but in the new one I'm having problems. I'll try this software D-Scaler. How does it work? Is it a subsitute to the ATI multimedia? Do I have to uninstall the ATI multimedia and keep the drivers?
I only got a Kingston because the cheaper SAMSUNG memory didn't work. I was having memory problems. So I decided to go for the best.

I just lost my BIOS to the stupid EZFLash 1 week ago. I had to take out the chip and flash it somewhere else. I don't think I'll be upgrading the BIOS anytime soon...
Another thing: Have you guys activated the Quite mode in the BIOS that controls the CPU fan? I did that and after while the fan simply stopped!!! The ASUS probe started beeping and I turned off the computer. I de-activated that option of course. Stick to the AMD Cooling that is good enough! ASUS not only f**** up my BIOS but they almost burned my CPU. I'm not that confident in their products anymore...

So, thestory goes like this: this board ain't the best, far from it.
Got mine today, xp won't install(and I installed xp on a lot of systems, so I know all the tricks). Tried everything, BIOS settings, ACPI, no ACPI, Pnp, no PnN etc etc
The drivers for the controlers and the F6, the F5, you call it, nothing would work.
Then, I wanted to update the bios(from 001) and guess what, the EzFlash should be called EzDoom ya' board
Tomorrow I'll get my money back. Still looking for alternatives and hard to decide between chaintech, msi, epox. I need stable. Don't care much about 1%+ or -, I won't feelit anyway.
For you, the beginner, better stay away from this board(beside, it ain't the first ASUS board with problems I had)
