Damn unstable thing.
1) Wouldn't work in dual channel mode until Bios version 6 depending what memory was installed.
2) With a 533mhz proc it would only work in slow mode whatever cas setting.
3) With a 800 mhz bus it will boot up and run for ages in Turbo mode but only with cas 2.5. The memory is cas 2. Sometimes it will just reboot.
Checking the fsb it's running at 203+ mhz. The bus speed 811 to 822mhz Memory at 206mhz. This is the probably reason for being unstable.
I'm thinking of getting another board probably a Gigabyte GA-8KNXP. I did think of the Asus P4C800 Deluxe but bad reviews have put me off. Unless I can get this board to run stable. At the moment I'm using fast timings to see how it goes. Memory at 2.85v
Bios version is 1.7 as 1.8 constantly reboots. 1.6 complains of memory timings being too tight and resets to slow ever so often plus the odd reboot.
