A7N8X Deluxe UAY ... what does UAY mean?
I've seen some stores list A7N8X Deluxe and some A7N8X Deluxe UAY. What
does the UAY stand for? Are these two different boards? What's the difference? Thanks, Harry -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 80,000 Newsgroups - 16 Different Servers! =----- |

Thanks, Harry My guess would be the ones with the UAY are the newer Ultra 400 boards. (ver. 2.xx) My non-dlx v2 is a A7N8X-UAY, and the part No. ends in "-GOUAY". Ed |

A7N8X Deluxe-UAY is revision 2.0 and has the nForce2 chipset.
A7N8X Deluxe-UAYZ is revision 2.0 and has the newer nForce2 ULTRA400 chipset. Though both chipsets officially support 400MHz FSB, the UAYZ version also has some new features in the chipset, including UDMA from DOS without a driver. Since there isn't an nVidia DOS driver for UDMA (official word from Asus) for the nForce2 chipset, the UAY sucks at DOS xfers (max 210MB/min with DriveImage), but the UAYZ flies at 800+MB/min (at least with an ATA100 drive). -- ]Robert[ "Harry Muscle" wrote in message ...

Every review I've read so far mentions that all Rev. 2.0 boards come with the Ultra 400 chip, hence the reason why they jumped to revision 2.0 instead of 1.x. Also after doing a search for UAYZ on google, it turned up nothing related to the A7N8X board. It did however, turn up stuff related to the A7V8X board. Are you maybe confusing those two boards?

My brand new rev2.0 A7N8X-Deluxe have the UAYZ part number. Still no clue what it means or anything though. Best Wishes Thomas |

No confusion. Both boards are A7N8X Deluxe 2.0 boards.
I purchased my revision 2.0 UAY within a couple of weeks of its release. I purchased the UAYZ one month ago. The chipset was changed to nForce2 ULTRA400. The packaging also changed to display a bigass 400MHz FSB logo. -- ]Robert[ "Harry Muscle" wrote in message ... "Robert Sudbury" wrote in message .. .

The codes after the board name stands for board features. I'm not sure what UAY stands for exactly, but all current boards have this, so it probably doesn't stand for anything. Or it could mean this board has common features like USB+AGP+IDE... Other common codes are LAN, GBLAN, 1394, PA (PCI audio), WOA (without onboard audio), VM (video onboard), etc. |
