BTW, the 1014 bios stops the beeping because previous bios beeps for every USB device you got plugged in.

Would like some advice please. Looking at using this board with a 2.6 since only $8 more than 2.4. Suggestions for best memory. No plans to overclock (at least in near future). At first was thinking of the dual channel 1 gb ocz platinum 3500 but getting harder to find and prices are going up since they don't make it anymore. Looking for other options and is 1gb really needed?
Thanks

I removed one of the sticks and ran the test again and it produced a couple thousand errors within 2 mins. I replaced it with the other stick and the test has been running for about an hour without any errors so far. I'm lacking knowledge in the memory timing area and am assuming these are within spec for this ram and was wondering if this is attributed to 1 bad stick. I purchased the memory a number of months ago and never even tried to run it at 3200 I have no I idea what Mushkin policy is on this.

Hi, I just got this board up and running in my machine which had previously been using the asus p4b533-e motherboard.. I have 1 primary IDE hard drive hooked up as primary master and 2 cd drives(writer and dvd) hooked up as secondary master and slave, respectively. Well everything was working fine on my old model motherboard, I change out the board and boot up and it seems ok. But when I reboot my secondary slave disapears(bios rev. 1014). Then I'll reboot again and it reappears(both in windows and bios).. So I was like hmm maybe its a bios problem because my pc speaker stopped beeping when I upgraded to bios rev. 1014, so I reverted to bios rev. 1011. Now neither windows or the bios detects my secondary slave.
Please help me out if you can.. Im thinking about reverting to the original bios to see how it acts but I'm tired of resetting all my settings. Thanks in advance!
***EDIT***
On bios revision 1011 I remedied this problem by just changing the jumpers to cable select.. even though both were previously set to master/slave correctly.

Hi all, I just finished putting this rig together and have a Seagate 160gig SATA hooked up to the Promise port w/XPproSP1. I have a maxtor 80gig ultra133 Eide and a IBM deststar 30gigEide available as well as 2 Seagate 160gig SATA that I have not opened yet. I am also connected to my P3 downstairs. I use a new ATIaiw9000pro for capture from camcorder and tv. I have used Sonic mydvd and showbiz in the past but now like using ATI-MMC8.7 and TMPGEnc DVD Author which I find does a GREAT job for me! I haven't loaded any software yet just my OS.

Hi Xeon, glad to join! I did, didn't I? I actually clicked on the new thread or post at the top of this page and asked a general question which was " Best hdd setup for video? but after I clicked post, it actually went on the main motherboard page? Well, I guess I just have to learn how to navigate better. lol I also have found that when I come to this "thread" I have to go thru all the pages to get to this current page? Boy! talk about being "green" Oh well, no big deal. I have this new box and want to setup the hdd's correctly/optimal. I ran out kind of prematurely & bought 3 seagate SATA's only because I thought they were a terrific buy even though I really can't afford it after just buying all this stuff but I do want to set it up correctly initially...well maybe? But everyone has a different opinion on what the "ideal" setup should be? I just figured I would exhaust all avenues of information/opinions before I actually form my own.Well that's enough out of me for now, lets hear what others have to say. Thanks and take care
Bill, you can also just have a shortcut on your desktop for the last page. When the page changes, just right click the shortcut icon and change the number at the end of the URL to read "56" or whatever.I also have found that when I come to this "thread" I have to go thru all the pages to get to this current page?
I just bought some Seagate 160gig SATA 8mb cache,7200rpm at COMPUSA this week for $89.00 ea. after a $50.00 Seagate rebate. check their site out or store if available near you. Here is the link http://www.compusa.com/adproducts/html_ad/default.aspOriginally posted by: jcpiercy
Hey Xeon , thanks for that tip as well
that helps ,,,,
Well the computer building bug has bit hard
Not sure why , ( maybe cause its cold and snowing outside )
but im gonna start a new project ,,, was gonna be a Shuttle mini , but i changed gears
Recently I bought a used Shuttle mini sys 875 intel/box and a 2.4c ,
but kept looking at a Coolermaster Praetorian case that was for sale ,
it came with a Coolermaster fan controller and a Clear Side panel
So I let the Shuttle Sys go and kept the 2.4c
Looks like Im gonna build the NEW PC around a P4C800-Deluxe "E" version
So hopefully soon I will be able to start filling up your inbox with lots of questions again
Im needing to buy some Ram ( OCZ ???)
and a HD ( SATA ?) and a Vid card , for this new one
Any recommendations would be appreciated
take care
JP
Hey that coolermaster is very koool/good lookin'box for sure!Originally posted by: jcpiercy
Thanks Hipster , Im from Canada
So I have a few different avenues to try from

Yeah, I just fixed it. I should try to get in the habit of checking my links whenever I post one. Thanks though for the update!Originally posted by: computer
Your second link is bad Bill. ;-)
I guess you figured it out, but I forgot to say to right click the shortcut icon and then click "properties" then you'd see the URL with the page number at the end of it.

Hi Everyone,
I'm using the following settings since they are defaults for my memory and I just started overclocking, but I have a couple of questions.

DRAM CAS# Latency. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.5

I'm using OCZ 4000 Gold and like I said those are the default settings since I just started the overclocking process. I was just wondering why you recommend a DRAM Burst Length of 8 instead of the default of 4. Should I have mine set at 4 or 8?
Here is the rest of my system:
P4 2.6C
ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe
Sapphire Radeon 9800 PRO
OCZ 4000 Gold - 1G Dual Channel Kit
Sound Blaster Audigy
Air Cooled w/ SLK 900U
My second question is what kind of temps should I be looking for? Right now I'm testing a 250 FSB at 1:1 with a 1.625 vCore and I was up to 44C with Prime95 running.

I have 2 sticks of Corsair XMS3200C2 512MB and they run fine one at a time in single-channel mode. They run fine together in single-channel mode. But trying to run both at the same time in dual channel and the computer turns on (all fans running) and just sits there and the monitor stays in sleep mode--no beeps or anything--just in a zombie-like state.
Anyone experienced this? It's a brand new board I just got from Newegg. I've changed power supplies, disconnected all MB accessories, IDE devices, etc. The only thing I haven't done is tried changing ram sticks. I might be able to get someone else to sticks his sticks in there and see if it does the same thing but I thought I'd ask here and find if anyone else has any problems like this.

Okay next question. How much vCore is safe on these processors? I see what you guys are talking about with the drops in voltage if you up it. I'm still testing 250 FSB but I'm at 1.7 now. That's the only voltage that doesn't drop below 1.6 when under load. So far I'm stable but I'm letting Prime95 run for a while. Is 1.7 okay or is it too much? My temp tops out at 46C with 1.7 so that shouldn't be a problem.
Let me know your thoughts!
