Is the 8KNXP ver 2 better able to support ultra low latency RAM better than ver 1 of this board?

Its been a few years since I took a good look at computer hardware, I currently have an XP1800 with SDRAM133. I am upgrading the motherboard to N400 Pro2, and getting DDR400. I cant afford a new chip for a few weeks, so can i use the 1800XP with the 400 ram ?

I was trying to run a new XP2600+ on a GA7VM400M (Rev 1). When it would startup I would get a voltage warning on my monitoring SW (I can't remember the name of it.... it is a good one... names escape me...) It showed the +12 side at 12.5 or 12.6V. The -12 voltage, however, was running on the low...

Man I keep reading the manual and all it does is make me more confused. I just got a WD raptor HD I'd like to run on my 8KNXP. There's so much conflicting advice out there I thought you masters could straighten me out. This will be my ONLY HD on the system..can I use it to boot? Should...

Hi, I just got an 8KNXP installed but am wondering what the best way to cool my system is. This machine is my main work machine, so I am looking for something quiet. I find the DPS2 board's fan makes a significant amount of noise. I've tried reading some of the docs, but to be honest, I...

Dave wrote: I have got 768 MB of SDRAM (133 MHz) on my system. If I go to a DDR mobo then how much 3200 DDR-400 would I need to get to roughly match the performance of the SDRAM? Depends on whether the things you do are most dependent on the RAM speed or the RAM quantity.

For those that are wondering about this bios... I got board (sic) today and had a compelling reason (read excuse) to bung this bios in and all appears OK so far. My reason was to do with potential IO problems - that were not appearing but being reported in a 6 GB database. It does look like the DB...
