man do u have a gruge against me ???

page 19 has instructions on how to install the CPU!!!!!!

according to page 23 (which i looked at earlier but didnt quite fully understand) in order for me to activate dual channel DDR, if i have 4 memory modules i must have 2 double sided modules in slot #1 and #2, while the remaining 2 must be single sided.... or sumthing along those lines...

:helpsmile:

Don't know what's wrong with your problem, but how does that board support 3GB max if it has only 4 slots and the max per slot is 512MB? That is according to the manual anyway.

Page 19 of the manual, page 23 of the pdf file.

just got home from work... pheww.... 3 am ...

so tired i cant sleep


anyway i figured out the problem... my motherboard CAN support 4 memory modules but if i choose to have four in at one time... 2 of them must be one - sided ram whilst the others may be 2!

however i can have 3 double sided ram modules in at one time MAX, so i choose this. resulting in 768Mb RAM

i did the aquamark test and it didnt improve my score by much....

29, 000 sumthing

oh well... i cant wait to get that barton 2500!!!

You only need more if you are actually running out. Check how much the page file is used (look at page faults/sec in performance monitor). If it is pretty low then you are not paging much so adding more memory won't make much difference to performance.

Damn moms piss me off.

Im building this for my friend...

2500XP @ 3200XP, Asus A7N8X, 9800Pro, 512MB PC3200 ram.

She goes and gets it check with her "computer guy" he says its fine.

She decides thats not good enough so goes and checks with some ripoff place.

(I think she is just trying to get a way out of buying him a new system.)

They say that Asus are bad and not reliable and MSI are the best boards made, just because they use them. WTF god that pisses me off. So now shes not sure if he can get one and stuff...just cuz some bitch ass rip off place wants to rip them off

UGHHHH sorry just had to tell yall that B) haha it just pisses me OFF

My last board was an MSI, and it was a great board.

Until I tried OC'ing. It gave up after a few MHz because the AGP and PCI went out of spec - totally useless. I don't know if their latest boards are the same, but Asus haven't fallen for that problem.
