Re:Thanks for the vote.
I am just looking for a reliable board.
Re:Another vote for shuttle… the board has a very nice layout and those reset/power buttons are very useful! its recent implementation of CNQ seems to be running fine…except for guy, i'll look into that more.
and again, the shuttle is a very good overclocking relative to the other A64 motherboards
Re:so don't enable CNQ.
and install drivers
.. okay i think I can do that..
Any other board recommendations???
Re:I have the Shuttle board and it locks up when I enable Cool'N'Quiet, despite the BIOS notes saying that CNQ is supported. I've read that your CPU fan will turn off completely using CNQ except under heavy load. A rather strange thing is that memtest86 won't run, so I tested memory using Docmemory.
Also, it locked up after Windows XP was installed because it apparently needs the chipset drivers to properly support the drivers loaded by XP for my ATI AIW 8500DV. So I had to start XP in safe mode, install the motherboard drivers and then everything was OK.
Re:Shuttle is probably the most used for overclocking A64s.
Re:I reccomend the msi k8t800 neo fis2r. Very good mainboard, fast and has alot of features.
Re:I have heard that the Shuttle board even though it supports 3GB ram it isn't recommended.
Because AMD 64 can only handle 2GB at PC3200 once you install another 1GB it downgrades to PC1600?
Is this correct?
Biostar has a limitation of 2GB so this would keep me at the 2GB threshold on both these boards.
Any other feedback.
