[THC_SsSsSnake]

it will but the memory can not do ddr200 unless nf7sv2

Yeah, I think the rev 2.0 of the NF7-S had the nForce 2 Ultra chipset which was able to run properly at 200mhz fsb.

I was (still am) running a 3200+ XP on that board.

Well, do you have v2 of the board?

 

[THC_SsSsSnake]

not sure

 

[Six6siX]

Ok, haven't got access to the computer at the moment, but if you run CPU-Z or some other hardware ID program, check your chipset model.

If it says "nForce2 Ultra 400" you have a revision 2 board and the 3200XP will work fine.

 

[THC_SsSsSnake]

on the 3d mark it says its version 2.x thanks mate I dl that cpu thing and yes it says ultra400
thanks

 

[Six6siX]

Sounds like its ok then

Good luck getting a 3200 to they're like gold dust

 

[THC_SsSsSnake]

[Six6siX]

[THC_SsSsSnake]

[ajgoodfellow]

£150+ - they're commanding a huge premium!

£30 is a bargain

 

[THC_SsSsSnake]

wow!! how come?

 

[ajgoodfellow]

No longer made - there's a fair few people who want to upgrade their PC without having to buy a new motherboard, etc

Don't know why really - it's like the old 100fsb P4s and RDRAM
