A7N8X Deluxe what's the problem?
Just about to purchase and upgrade pc with A7N8X Deluxe rev 2 board, 2800
Barton and 2x 512 Crucial. However keep seeing reference to bios probs with this board...especially in connection with memory. Anyone got advice about this, acceptable memory sticks etc. Thanks. |

Good to hear that. Did you have ANY probs with the board/bios when setting
up? Thanks ------------------- "KB" wrote in message ... I have just got that board and have 2x512Mb of Crucial and an XP2800(Barton). 512 in slot1, 512 in slot 3. Have not had any problems at all regarding ram. "Aradur" wrote in message ... Just about to purchase and upgrade pc with A7N8X Deluxe rev 2 board, 2800 Barton and 2x 512 Crucial.

None.
The only thing is that if you ever take out the cpu for any reason and put it back in then you get an on screen message about cpu may have been changed. The setting defaults to 100MHz, reset it to 166MHZ,reboot and no problems. "Aradur" wrote in message ... Good to hear that. Did you have ANY probs with the board/bios when setting up?

Just did a similar build with Kingston PC3200 2x512 and Maxtor 2x120MB SATA
drives in RAID1 config. Only problem I had was the need to have a floppy ready to install the SATA drivers, otherwise, clean install and no problems since last weekend. I'm happy with it so far, I got the wireless card and now have better coverage throughout the house than the LinkSys wireless router it replaced. John "Aradur" wrote in message ...

The smaller SATA cables = better air flow through the case and overall,
easier to keep inside wiring neat. I cannot speak directly to the performance issues. John "KB" wrote in message ... I don't see any gain/reason to have SATA drives other than smaller cables. Where's the gain if someone will never have more than 4 drives(2 HD, 2 optical). More drives = more heat. SATA drives are no faster than PATA ones for 120G upwards. Maxtor SATA dives are no faster than the ATA version. "John Welton" wrote in message ... Just did a similar build with Kingston PC3200 2x512 and Maxtor 2x120MB SATA drives in RAID1 config.

Can't get any better airflow than mine as my IDE cables are round and all
behind the drives (between the back of them and the backplate) as my case has cross mounted drive cage. So all cables are out of airflow. "dino" wrote in message .. . overall airflow...and 3 yr manufacturer warranty as opposed to 1 year for a 2 mb 120 gig |
