I know not all chipsets can perform the same but I thought the whole point of this board was 500 FSB on the 266 strap. I'm beginning to think the 266 strap @ high FSB's on this board is requiring something that every ram kit can't do. I find it hard to accept that every boards NB can differ this much that some are clock so much better than others. I did however notice that smart guardian reports less drop in voltages in windows on my first board than my second board (compared to what you set in bios).
yeah buddy as a matter fo fact I need more volts for orthos stability to achieve 500x7 than i did on the p5b-d, this si with the two settings on normal and not fast and strapp set to auto... I still neeeded high vtt and high NB volts.
The board is still pretty nice and I am not complaining, I would change ram probably before I changed mobos, because it seems like the p5b-d like my firestix a hell of alot better than this dfi.
I am looking into some reaper 1066 sticks possibly, just now is not a good time for me to dump money into more hardware. As far as droop or what SG and windows report compared to bios set voltages is concerned, the board has MUCH LESS droop then the p5b-d. If I set 1.35 I get 1.33 where my p5b-d would give me 1.3
Does anybody think going to a diff bios may help?
