I've been experiencing low internet speeds. I have a second computer connected to the same modem. Download speeds on that second computer, which is really, really old, have been awesome and much, much higher then my new system.

Out of the two Ethernet ports available, I need to use only one to connect to my cable modem.... does it make any difference which one i should use? Is there anything that could be affecting my Internet Speeds?

Thanks.

My internet connection runs flawless with the ethernet port below

You mean the colored one? The one which is with the USB port that you have to connect the remote to? I have my ethernet cable connected to the port on top... the one closer to Audio Ports, not the one below... maybe i should switch.

Also... i'm using the drivers that came on the CD for the Ethernet Ports... are there any newer drivers i should be installing?

**Mykou** · 08-09-2006, 12:52 PM

yes this one near the usb where asus say to plug the remote receiver

I used Cd drivers , haven't check if new ones released

I have an old Maxtor 41GB IDE, and 2 DVD Burners (Pioneer DVR-111D & Optorite). Should i connect the two DVD Burners to the JMicron Port and the Maxtor IDE to the Intel IDE Controller? My Pioneer DVR-111D is capable of burning 16X DVDs... will i be able to do that connected to the JMicron Controller? I know the Manual is wrong where it said that JMicron Controller doesn't support ATAPI... still i connected my IDE To JMicron and DVD Burners to Intel Controller for the fear that JMicron may not work properly with Burners.

**LUCI5R** · 08-09-2006, 12:54 PM

Thanks! I'll switch today and see if that makes a difference.

Enabling the SATA/RAID bootrom for the JMicron controller from BIOS (801 & 901) fixed this for me. Just like your dvd drive my Hitachi PATA hd showed up in PIO mode under device manager.

For me, AIBooster doesn't make any changes on the fly with either of the 90x bioses. 801 works fine though.

**chefnr1** · 08-09-2006, 01:28 PM

wich bios is recomended to my rig??
x6800
P5WDH DL
EXTREEM PC2-6400

Silverstone Zeus 850W

TYVM Pedro, will do

Anyone sucessfully running crossfire with this board? I might pull the trigger this weekend but have not seen anyone saying they run crossfire.

**Tallman** · 08-09-2006, 06:04 PM

If anyone is interested, there is a link to a modded bios for P5W DH in http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=106563

AFAIK, it increases vmch selections

Use at your own risk!

Boot ROM was always left enabled but no go for UDMA on PATA ATAPI devices. zevia of CDFreaks also reported he did not have any UDMA trouble with his SATA Plextor DVD burner (ie. a SATA ATAPI device) with earlier BIOS like 0701. Unlike harddisks as in your IBM IDE, ATAPI support seems a afterthought to many manufacturers of drive controllers eg. Promise.

@mickey - leave your burners at the Intel controllers for best compatibility, I'm still testing how good the JMIcron is for ATAPI stuff since it is so new esp. to me. btw, if you are adventurous, go crossflash the 111D to 111L for a much better feature set, see CDFreaks for more info.

Any ideas on why SPD needs to be enabled over 360~ or so?

I had (2) problems:

1) Was not getting a restart after changing bios settings around 350~ FSB. It would sit at a black screen powered on. I still get this sometimes, but SPD seems to have "fixed" it so it actually reposts, just doesn't restart. But sometimes it does.

Even if I just change FSB, it sometimes does, sometimes not.

2) With manual timings at 1:1 354, 355, 356 (Wouldn't post past 356), Orthos/Sp/Prime would just freeze my pc. The strangest part is, no sounds, fans, or lights would change, but my mouse would turn off.

I tried using an old mouse and disabling USB legacy, etc, no change.

_______________________

All that said, I'm at 3.33, 1:1, (Stable), 1.4V Bios, Auto on all other voltages. Idle at 28-30, load at 44.

^^Not bad.

**kidstechno** · 08-09-2006, 07:41 PM

I really hope they can fix AIBooster, it's always showing as 163fsb (at 175 w/ PD805) and sometimes does the 255c temperature, as well as Asus Probe

And I have to reset the computer if I wanna do on the fly voltage/fsb changes.

I'm running it with no problems. Even after the two cards are installed, I still have room for my sound card and there is still one PCI Express slot available.

**Primoz78** · 08-09-2006, 09:13 PM

The AI booster think is really annoying...anyone with Gskill PC6400 HZ D9 chips can run them any other divider than 1:1?...Cause mine is working only 1:1 any other dividier reboot or not even boot into bios...

Did you try the newest version of the AIBooster posted about half way down on this page?

Did you anyone tried MODDED BIOS? With 1.85V NB option? Is it working?

Mine actually run at 4:5 and rig stable at 3.43 ghz

Now testing 3.6 ghz Superpi 32 stable , have to run prime

Can you give me the exact BIOS settings you are using?...you have an E6400 as I can see..? I will try to rise the VCORE today to get it stable at 400FSB so I can hold them on 800mhz....

Primoz

Dude can you post you bios settings? My gear is arriving tomorrow, same stuff only corsair mem instead of G.Skill

I would really appriciate it! Thanx

**Mykou** · 08-10-2006, 01:12 AM

Yep I have E6400 and E6700 ( actually running it )

My bios settings if could help you E6700@3.43 ghz

-FSb 343 mhz
-Vcore 1.4375 ( in bios 701 )
-Vdimm 2.2v
-Vfsb, Vich and Vmch auto
-PCI-e 105 mhz
-Path 3 disabled
-Ram throttle auto
-only microcode enabled ( C2T,EIST,Virtualisation all OFF )
-PEg heavier
-Ram settings manual at 858 mhz ( so 4:5 ) if I well remember ( cas 4 /4/3/12

I can now boot at 3.6 ghz ( 360 x 10 )under xp but not prime stable just superpi 32 and good score under aquamark 03 ( 20272 cpu score , I did compare to PcCI2iminal when he benched @3.6 ghz but 1:1 ratio and score about 19000 so I may think that running 4:5 is sweet too

, P5W is very mem divider sensitive IMO though I met issues at 1:1 lol and others can't run it at 4:5

)

Could run E6400 at 3.1 ghz ( 375 x 8 ) stable

Think I have to go for WC if I want more and stable

But 3.43 ghz is a good deal IMO since I 'm still with air cooling

Hope it helps you

Edit: have to update my sig
