lo all

Ok got my lanparty B today and all set up ready to go.
I have a Xp2500-m AQYHA 0410TPCW and some OCZ 3200 EL Platinum series.

I have it running @ stock (well almost)
11 * 166 = 2171mhz
Ram is @ 6-3-3-2 1:1 with the fsb
Bios version is 11/27/2003

Now what I would like to know is the settings in bios that you have and the bios version. I'm new to this game, hence the stock settings (apart from the ram being underclocked!!)

ALSO if i load fail safe defaults and change my memory to SPD, it still only sets it at 166, help please!!!

it probably sets it to 166 because your chip's default fsb is 166. not to worry. Also you will want to run CPU : DRAM ratio at sync 1:1. Set the FSB to 200. I would recommend you to tighten up your memory timing instead of running complete defaults. Select the memory timing to "Expert" so you can manually set the memory timings. Refer to your OCZ memory manufacturer's recommended spec or by the OCZ users.

It's been a while since I was at school but i'm quite sure that 11*166 doesn't equal 2171Mhz.

your best bet is to get a beta bios, my board likes 1/31 but others likes 12/28
set everything manually, this board has some quirky stock settings (hard drive in chs mode? )

I wouldn't recomend a Beta bios without installing a IOSS BIOS savoir...........

If for some reason the beta screws up and becomes corupt, DFI will not RMA it with a beta installed.
