The following is a list of parts I either have or am ordering to upgrade my current "BlackBird" system. Currently it is running a Iwill KK266 with an Athlon 1800+, but I am converting this box into my office machine for my home business and it needs to be upgraded for AutoCAD graphic modeling,...

I just ordered a GA-8KNXP Ultra-64 with CORSAIR DUAL DDR 1GB-PC3200XLPRO 2-2-2-6 memory. Looking at newsgoup I saw where some problems have arose using corsair memory. Is there anyone here that might know if this memory will work? Thanks. Rich

Will the Zalman CNPS7000A-CU CPU Cooler work with this board? Thanx

I am considering buying the GA-8KNXP Ultra board and want to know if the SCSI RAID controller requires any additional hardware? Using onboard controllers, Can you have a SATA RAID and a GigaRAID ATA 133 simoultainiously along with the SCSI RAID? I would like to have system boot up on RAID 0 and...

Does anybody have any experience with the Gigabyte GA-7VAXP Systemboard, I am having prolems getting it to start. I Think I have the basics, to start it must have a CPU, Ram and Video card. The RAM is new, and the CPU is new. Howerver my video card doesn't seem to want to work. It is a nvidia...

Guys, I've about had it with my choice in buying this motherboard. Either it stinks (which I don't think), is defective (possible) or I've goofed something. It has never felt any faster than my Athlon XP 1800+ system with 512k RAM and a Radeon 8500. I now have this board with a Radeon 9800 Pro...

I own a Gigabyte GA-8IK1100 and finally decided it might be a good idea to update the BIOS (it was version 6 and 9 was on the website). So I extracted the files, put them on my floppy and updated the bios. Now, in the folder I originally extracted the utilities to, I have a file, FLASH878.EXE that...

I just bought this board and so far, everything has been very solid with it. I owned a Maxtor 120GB hard drive (7200 RPM, non-serial) that worked just fine in my last system. Upon re-installing the OS here (XP Pro), I have one strange problem. The very first thing I delete, of ANYTHING, be it a...

I currently own an Athlon-based Soyo board I'm happy with and in the past I've been an A-bit fan (not in a while though) and have never owned an MSI board. Based on the recent Tom's Hardware round-up I was thinking of getting and MSI 865PE. However, I've gotten concerned because of many posts in...

I've got a GA-7DXR which I am running without using the RAID ports. I understand that some motherboards have switches which allow you to use the RAID ports as conventional IDE ports. Is there any way of doing this on the GA-7DXR? I don't see it in the manual, and can't find anything in the...

Guys, I'm considering buying the GA-8IPE1000G motherboard for my HTPC system. Right now I've tried using an Asus P4S533 but apparantly due to the Sis chipset this mobo isn't quite up to specs. However the limitations are a bit strict. The system only has a 320W PSU at its disposal. Now there's...

Help! I recently tried to upgrade my Mobo to an 8IK1100. When I try to start uo the system, after it passes POST I get a screen full of: "01 01 01 01 01"s covering the whole screen. No error messages. Does anyone know what is happening here? TIA for any help anyone can offer.

Woger MKII @wogerbox.co.nz wrote in message ... Looking at some i875p reviews and I can not see how Asus gets better scores.. The default FSB is over clocked by 1% and they do not use the SPD Ram settings at all.

good morning, all. i'm in the market for a custom built pc. the shop that i am dealing with has suggested a gigabyte GA-8SG800 main board. this board meets my requirement in that there are no integrated components such as NIC, sound, video, etc. but i am not a hardware man and was hoping to...

Seeking help in recovering from a corrupted BIOS upgrade for GA-686BX. This was my first time upgrading a BIOS. I used the F1 file from the Giga-byte web-site, as I was only interested in allowing the use of a 40Gb HDD. Now I see that I should have used the F2a BIOS. I saved the original BIOS to...

Has anyone been able to run their 8knxp with 'Top Performance' enabled? My rev1 couldn't do it and neither can my rev2. I have 'CIA Function' enabled and set to 'Full Thrust' but dropping it to 'Turbo' doesn't make any difference. -rhogue

Hi All, Recently I reinstalled my 8knxp in my Lian Li case. It turns on, fans spin up, seems to check the drives, but doesn't post or beep or even give an audible error code. It just sits there with the power led on, fans spinning, but no other signs of life. First I tried clearing the cmos by...

Hi all, Are there any 8knxp rev2 owners out there using socket 478 Prescott cpu's? Can the board handle/deliver the extra heat/voltage OK, or do they give up the ghost after a short while. Thanks in advance, -rhogue
