darkman,
highlight the 'window' you want to screen shot, if you want to do the whole desktop, just click on it and then hold Ctrl down, hit PrtScr key twice.
then goto run, type mspaint.
then from paint, Edit drop down menu, choose paste. There we go

webbyman, set the PCIe mhz to 101 and then try.

Also put your memory to 166 setting or up with Vdimm to 2.8v
Also set HTT multiplier to 4x not 5x

What BIOS version are you running ?

 

[ricco]

your not upping the memory, your selecting a lower divider.,

anyone having issues running 4x512 sticks of ram in this board?

A64 does'nt support 4x PC3200, so if you are happy to run them at 2700 spec, then should be ok. Its more to do with CPU's mem controller then the board.

The only issue i'm having at the moment is that sometimes my USB mouse isn't detected when i load windows. I have to pull it out and push it back in again, then it's fine.

Any ideas about that?

I have had that with WinXP on & off with the Logitech with various boards for 3years, try enabling USB Mouse & KB support in BIOS.

According to SmartGuadian my PWM IC temperature is 167 degrees C under load. This can't be right surely.

Smartguadian is'nt reliable. Run a good becnhmark and reboot, check it in BIOS.

You would be better with 2x 1Gb modules, although they require slack timings (cas3) and don't overclock a massive amount, you can still get better performance out of them then with 4x512's.

as a side note E0 A64's are supposed to have fixed mem controllers that will allow 4x PC3200, but we will have to wait and see about how good they are as this is still speculation.

 

[ricco]

platty,

Although the mem controller was updated, it still only supports PC2700 officialy, although you might be ok to go over that.
But 2x 1Gb will still go further then 4x512 .

Duffman, 60°c is what I would expect.

I get exactly the same temps, 120mm fan over the area really helps to keep things cool.

There it is

231 @ 3v is fairly good.

Get it upto 3.3/ 3.4

DR models come with all the extra font pannel, bag and bits & bobs.

If you want to go SLi, then you should buy the SLI-D unless you want the extra's then buy the SLi-DR.
the Ultra-D can go SLI if you hack it (link to results & how-to in first post)

 

[ricco]

Ram ( Ch5 probably) and PSU will be fine.
Just follow the First post setup guide.

 

[ricco]

Alfie link is in first post to a guy who has done it, with pictures of how and results.
