Bizarre
My MSI 875p NEO would only ever boot with slow mode enabled in the Bios. Whatever memory timings or memory voltage you set.
Today I swapped the 2.66 P4 533 processor for a 3 gig 800 mhz jobee. As I expected the system wouldn't boot properly. I loaded bios fail safe defaults and bingo hello XP.
Reset the memory timings to the same previous settings with slow and it booted.
I noticed that the performance mode had been disabled.
Rebooted and set the system for fast.
Amazingly it booted but had reset my memory timings to cas 2.5. Performace mode was enabled.
Rebooted again and set it too Turbo and it booted again. Still wouldn't have cas 2. Ultra-Turbo is a no go.
Now the system should be more unstable at 800 mhz than 533 but it doesn't seem to be the case. Wierd.
The system bios is 1.6. Theres is 1.8 out but some people have reported problems so I'm going to stick at Cas 2.5 for now.
