Any Asus single proc Athlon XP mobos support PC2100 ECC RegisteredDDR?
I have 2*512MB ECC Registered DDR but my Dual Athlon mobo is dying (MSI
K7D Master) with burst capacitors. Hoping to reuse the RAM and one of the CPUs in a cheap Athlon XP board until I upgrade next summer. Thanks, Chris |

Hoping to reuse the RAM and one of the CPUs in a cheap Athlon XP board until I upgrade next summer. Thanks, Chris The A7M266 and A7M266-D definitely take registered DDR. The A7V266 takes registered DDR according to the manual. An owner of a A7V333 used registered DDR, even though the manual did not mention registered DDR as an option. To support registered RAM, you need a chipset that supports it, DDR DIMM sockets keyed to accept it, and a BIOS that is prepared to parse the SPD EEPROM on the DIMM. http://groups.google.com/groups?thre...0192.168.1.177 All of those boards are old and would only be available used somewhere. They are not currently in production. If you can afford the downtime, send the motherboard to "Homey" or "Bigbadger". They cover North America and Europe respectively. They will replace all the electrolytic capacitors on a board, and assuming you haven't damaged anything else on the motherboard, by running with damaged caps, you could fix your current board. I think Homey charges about $50, but check the website for details. This is Homey's web site. http://motherboardrepair.com/ Bigbadger can be reached via email by tacking @btinternet.com onto the end of his name. He also goes by the name of steve and you tack @thebageplace.fsnet.co.uk onto the end of steve. (Got that from a Google search.) HTH, Paul |
