Correction to the statement about the locks on the Aopen card.
Posted this earlier about the pci lock: 33 do not work, the two others do.
Agp lock seems to be the same story. 66 do not work, the two others do.
3:4 2-2-2-5 will yield better results than 3:5 2,5-3-3-6.
Do not ever use the aopen software, see below. System is idling, the red arrow marks where the program was terminated.
No problem m8.Quote:

I think (and this is just my thougths..maye be right and maye be wrong)...that somewhere around 160mhz is OK to aim for...at this fsb you´ll be able to settle down at 75/37 agp lock and both ATI and Nvidia cards will be able to run without any problems...also in the case of no working pci lock, most SATA and pci addoncards will do fine.
Only downside with 160fsb is that with 3:5 divider you need som very good ram to run at 2-5-2-2 and with 3:4 you´ll lack some memorybandwidht.
Dothan responds very well to low latencies and high mem.freq....you´ll see some gain in performance quickly when raising fsb and memory.
So I guess some good ol´e BH-5 or 6, OCZ VX or some other ram with Winbond UTT chips will do fine on this board...if you are doing vdimm modd ,that is.
I take it the Aopen utility's settings are only in effect while the app is running?Quote:

weird thing but also my aopen is 3D stable w/o vdimm mode or booster only if i set 33/66 lock (that does not work) at 140 and NOT low GFX 4:3. W/ 37/75 lock lobby does not work. Surely ram or divider problem related to fix there.Quote:

FUGGER has mentioned that DFI is planning on bringing out a revised 855 board with working locks and better volts, all may not be lost yet!! :D
Now we're talking, so long as they make a better cooling mounting mechanism. :slobber:Quote:

from what's said, that revised dfi board is supposed to come with a p4-heatsink ready solution. would be cool if you could use any p4 sink without modding the retention module or the actual sink.Quote:

That Bits tweaker is much better. :D

any idea wen we can get our hands on this mobo? i was jus about 2 order a Aopen board, glad i neva now :DQuote:

I'm also having issues with the FSB / RAM ratios - no matter what I do I can't get the RAM to run at 3:5 - only 1:1 and 3:4 seem to work and even when it's set to 3:4 if I overclock to a 133MHz FSB in the BIOS the RAM goes back to 1:1!
On the plus side without even doing the vcore wire mod my 1.3GHz *banias* goes up to 1.8GHz stable (150 x 12, FSB : RAM = 1:1)... Will try the wire mod later (and my other CPUs - picked up 4 of them cheap :D)
Sonoma is apparently on its way.....more news here
Its only for i855PM chipset on Notebooks:
http://www.cpuid.org/download/Tw855.zip
cu, BitpowerPM
i have a centrino notebook with the 855PM chipset and i just found out the DFI clockgen for the 855GM on www.cpuid.com works for me.
but my question is. if I have ddr400 that's only running at 166MHz (3:5, 100mhz fsb) then should i be able to get a)pretty high overclocks, heat allowing and b)pretty tight timings on my ram?
i tried the 855 tweaker just now and windows blue-screened when i tried to apply new timings. does that mean my ram can't take the tight timings or that the tweaker doesn't work for me? I used Bitpower's link. Online Crash Analysis said something about a driver device.
and yeah, where do you get the SSE2 patch? I just got 47sec SuperPi 1m and that feels somewhat lowly given what this chip is capable of.

nice! any idea of a ETA?Quote:

Awesome.

Clearly a different mounting mechanism from their current board. Looks 478-ish.

However I got a question...has anyone of you stumbled accross a vagp/chipset modd for the Aopen board. I know there is one for DFI...but I can´t remember seeing anyone for Aopen.....did anyone of you guys seen any..??
is there a way to lock the agp/pci bus via software or modded bios? i'd like to lock the buses on my laptop before i start some heavy overclocking incase it messes around with my 9700m
whoa. when i take the fsb up to 115mhz it runs fine until i open any kind of app like superpi or a game and then it lags like a crackwhore. what's happening?
