good read

Thanks. I actually read that before. If I'm understanding this correctly it tells us why the 975 chipsets have better clock for clock performance but the 965 has higher FSB potential and should be more stable. Right? I don't think I'll be going above the 1333 strap with this chip but at least it gives me options for the future.

Also, is the clock per clock performance the same as the 975 chipset if below 400fsb?

Every once in a while my board boots up with no text on the screen. It gets a "connected" signal to the screen, just no text, then reset and text comes back. Odd.

yep ,you are right i975X > P965

no ,i975X still is faster than p965

Ok I missed something as I am new to this board, How do you set the strap?
I thought it was automatic when you went over 400fsb that it changed to 1333. How can you run > 400fsb with the 1066 strap? Please advise.

Boot at 400, then raise FSB in Windows...

[Bootsy]

ahhh...I see. Thank you!

is it overclocked or no?

but of course.

but of course.

hehehe

i`m using the first 0303 with no issues and i will try that 0402 tonite

the thing this board is missing is 2 16x pci-e slots running at 16x. I don't like 2 x PCI-E x16 (blue @ x16 mode, black @ x2 or x4 mode)

Amnyone know if the vdimm mod the same as the P5B deluxe on this board? I tried the pencil mod like the p5b and it didn't seem to do anything.

I tried the screenDuo today. I must say, great idea but poor execution. I'm still running xp so I'm not sure if I'm experiencing xp bugs. It's been creating a ms paint file on my desktop of it's taskbar every time the time changes. I erase it and it just comes back. I guess I just won't use it until I figure this annoyance out.

Anybody know how to fix this?
