Just ordered my new board...
-
I'll try and explain the DDR thing, but for starters your gonna want to run DDR400 for your 800Mhz FSB DDR266 PC2100 - This is the slower end of DDR DDDR333 PC2700 - This is mid grade for Athlons, I am running this overclocked to DDR400 specs (not as stable though) DDR400 PC3200 - This is that standard for the new Barton core Athlons and its the stuff the P4 uses now DDR433 PC3500 (I think) - This, and anything higher, for the time being is just ram designed for overclocking Matt Newman

:beer: + :java: = NULL :=> X|btw, I am thinking of upgrading from my P4PE-X to the one you got, and was wondering if you could check to see if it has a Digital SPDIF connection on the back panel (its a RCA connector and your advanced sound properties will have options for digital). The reason is if I seel mine I want to know if I have to keep the bracket for mine, or if there is another different digital audio bracket that Asus uses. (I have both that I know of) Matt Newman

I prefer MSI motherboard. Good for overclocking. ;) Sonork 100.41263:Anthony_Yio

because when i wanted to get mine, I made an order for the P4 2.6 HyperThreading but it was only recently lanuched and they quoted me an outragous price. Well i ended up with the P4 2.53 w/o HT instead. :laugh::laugh:

I wanted to but... i initially waited for Ati 9500 pro 128mb.. then for my casing, then my Motherboard and then my P2 - 266mhz (gosh!) decided that it can't hold on much longer. No choice but to make the change. Surprise that my P2 - 266mhz could last me that long (around 6 years i think) ;P

But when you wait until I'll have mine (think it should be there in 1-2 days), I can tell you.

They say chaintech is also nice... especially with Kingston X memory (Overclockable and CAS delay of 2 nS). Greetings.... :)
I like Kingston memory for it's lifetime warranty. Memories nowsadays are ought to burn. I just replaced mine few months back. Sonork 100.41263:Anthony_Yio

As far as I could see, there is an spdif port on it, but there were no cables with it (for the SPDIF). But: 2 serial ATA cables, 4 (!!) HD and CDRom cables, FD cable, ... at least that saved me 20$ or more. I think ASUS boards are really good ones!

Thats no problem, i am no stranger to stress :) Olli wrote: As far as I could see, there is an spdif port on it, but there were no cables with it (for the SPDIF). The reason I was concerned is the vendor I was buying it from must have mixed up some parts and the product images were inconsistent. But its good to have confirmation from someone who has handled the board. As for the cables, I think the assumption is that if you have digital speakers it came with a cable Olli wrote: But: 2 serial ATA cables, 4 (!!)
