Pino, which PCB revision is your mobo? Im on 2.0 and didnt need to flash it for it to recognise my 2600.

PCB 2.0 is the latest i think.. all the asus a7n8x boards from aria are this version.

I've pcb 2.0 (just like guru said almost all new ones are rev2 0)
And you're correct about the recognition of the 2600+, the standard bios will recognize all off the older processors(2400+ 2600+ 2800+ 3000+ with l2= 126kb), but the standard BIOS will not recognize the new barton proccesors (2500+ 2800+ 3000+ 3200+ all with double l2 cache)

with the latest bios there are a couple off issues fixed with serial ata, raid onboard sound, IDE controller

By the way send a couple off pics, maybe THE GURU will post them here, and I'm planning to make a couple off little movies (perhaps pics) how to overclock your a7n8x with bios settings. I've my girlfriends PC now running at 3000+ instead of 2500+ and it's all stable now

I really wanna overclock mine now, but nothing too drastic, |I dont wanna blow the bugger up!

Any suggestions Pino? Im taking it that were gonna be ocing the FSB?
Unless the multiplier is unlocked by using an n force 2 chipset? (think i read somewhere?)

Posted: **Tue Aug 19, 2003 4:24 pm**

with the asus a7n8x both are unlocked (multiplier and fsb)

so I'll have a look what we can do, if ?'m able to get off my bike tonight

Cool, id prefer to do a multiplier oc, but im pretty safe doing an FSB oc as my rams a higher rate. Am i right?

Cheers mate

Posted: **Tue Aug 19, 2003 11:00 pm**

it's better to do a fsb oc, for example 13 * 166 =2158
and 11 * 197 will do the same
but 11 * 197 will give better performance due to the fsb speed

before you start changing, make sure you know how to reset your bios.
I know asus have cpu cop, but it doesn't work all the time quite right.

Got a bloody old bios Pino. (to answer your well welll well earlier question)
Also, after having to reinstall xp after the BT ISDN drivers arsed my system, i no longer have a USB controller in the device manager, and i cant locate one from the cds provided either.

Any suggestions?

so, you have xp reınstalled and it won`t work now?
hmmmm, İ`m on a holiday now for at least an other week (wanna go home, miss my pc/dsl)
so if İ,m rıght it won`t recognıze any usb devıces (f?ck this keyboard is ırritatıng me) or only usb 2.0?
