I'm having trouble getting this board to boot with both 512mb ram chips... Any advice?

Using Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200XL Pro TwinX (2x512MB), with the Ultra D, 3700SD, 480W Neopower, Bios:310.

I've tried all the slots, will run windows fine with each stick if used alone, but put them together and it restarts before you get into windows. BIOS is on defaults, i've tried clearing the CMOS. Cheers!

Try BIOS 414-3 and use both orange slots. See if that fixes it. I had problems initially because some of the BIOS's don't like TCCD ram. Mine works fine with these slots and BIOS and that is basicallt the same setup as me.

yak.h'cir · 13 May 2005 at 19:35

Yup there's software that comes with the board that lets you flash the bios from windows.

Could you add this info, could be handy for those that have ditched their floppy drives...

No worries.

I've never heard of any problems with any hard drives.They support the old IDE, SATA & SATA2 so I doubt there are many out there it wont work with...

Personnaly i've got samsung & seagate sata drives and there's been no problems at all. Now i've flashed to the newbios this is a very nice board!!!

monkeygabriel · 14 May 2005 at 00:51

well this one gave me a few more MHz with the TCCD(now stable at 313MHz 2.5-4-3-x
and a venice.so try it for the SD Concorde.

Anyone using Bh5 ram found a good bios yet? they all seem similar to me

ricco · 14 May 2005 at 01:13

414-3 or 310P is good for Bh5.

Im all good for 240 2-2-2-10 3.2v on the 414-3 oskar wu bios.

Just flashed to BIOS 510-3beta , and found the following:

1: New memory config option, Dram Response Time - Fast/Normal

2: Memory Bandwidth increase (at same FSB/timings). For me equaled about 120MB/s, confirmed by a 0.4s decrease in SuperPI time.

3: Showing AMD X2 support (shows CPU 1 on POST screen).

So far it seems a little faster and no decrease in stability for me
