you have to swap arrays between the same controller type or it won't be recognised.

Updated version of uguru added to the original thread.

Abit uGuru 3.1X v3.104 for 2000/XP/2003/Vista/64bit

Finally! The beta 08 has fixed my QX6700 stuck multiplier (x6) in Vista x64. EIST now works perfectly in it too

How fast is your QX6700 running on this board?

Mine has reached 3.45GHz using a Tuniq Tower 120 and 1.4025v (according to the BIOS but uGuru on Vista 64 says its 1.36v)

I knew that you were good Nelly but you appear to have discovered time travel!

Whooops! lol funnily enough the drivers are more or less the same for the new ABIT IP35 PRO, saves me some hassle for now. . .

Just updating now except the XP Realtek driver link doesnt work?

Here is a direct link to the Realtek site with it anyway - http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads...=3&GetDown=false#High Definition Audio Codecs

edit: none of them work either

Hi,

I've been looking at reviews for this motherboard and they mention that the early Bios is a bit rubbish. Is it better now? Is it a stable motherboard? Does the RAID work well on it?

Im not too bothered with overclocking. Thanks

 

[BUFF]

yes, it's one of the best 965 mobos & it's very stable.
Don't use RAID myself but Intel RAID is supposedly markedly better than nVidia's RAID.

 

[sWiZzLe]

Thanks, i had a feeling you would reply
Just need to find 2gb of good 6400 memory and im sorted

 

[BUFF]

No probs, Ballistix or G.Skill HZ are good.
Once you get it if you need any help we can talk you through anything here or on abit-USA forums.

To be honest, a QuadGT is a waste of money if you're not overclocking. An ASRock ConroeXFire-eSATA II would do everything you want and it can be had for half the price. It runs the Intel 945 chipset with ICH7R and it's absolutely rock solid stable without any BIOS updates or anything at all.

For ultra-stability buy an Intel branded, Intel chipsetted P945 or P965 board. There is nothing more stable.

Only has 4 SATA ports, need at least 8. Plus i need it to be Quad core compatible. Finding this and this thread made my final decision very easy.

Thanks all the same

one of the guys on XS had 1 in a QuadGT months ago - can't remember exactly but I think that it was quite a nice oc.
