I can't seem to get it to work. The Asus site says it needs IAA 2.2.2? What
the heck is that?

Anyone running this?

I have been holding back from changing my 2.8 out for the 3.06 HT
partly because of this supposed IAA install requirement. People have
stated in the past it slows their systems down. Happy letting the
2.8 cruise at 3.0 and up.

What exactly isn't happening with the 3.0 installed

Yes I have.

I have IAA 2.3 installed (newest). I am on another PC now.

Windows XP pro installed properly but the system acts wierd. I get CRC
errors on cabs on certain applications. It's strange. I haven't crashed or
anything, but I don't get the warm and fuzzies on stability.

I am not overclocking either. The MB detected it properly and it shows up
correctly in the BIOS, Windows XP shows it correctly too, and even shows 2
processors at 3.06.

Any ideas what it could be? The system was rock solid with a 2.0 in it.

There were issues with boards bought early in the year 2003 and ASUS
did a fix or 3 to the newer ones that came out. not sure on details.
You might want to check out this forum for lots of useful info and
help from the experts. Go into the Intel chipset section. If you
learn anything please pass it along here in newsgroup for us.

I have HT working on my 3.06 running on a P4T533 and I'm NOT using
IAA. I didn't do anyhing special, as I recall, except turning on HT in
the BIOS.

Did you build system and install op sys with the 3.06 installed or
upgrade at some point from a slower cpu to the 3.06?

The system was built with the 3.06, not upgraded from a slower
processor.

There were problems with early P4T533 motherboards. The problems
reportedly involved the switching power supply on the motherboard that
supplied the Vcore to the CPU (although Asus never even admitted that
there were problems, much less what they were).

The problems got worse the more power that was required by the CPU; very
few people had any problems with CPUs of 2.4 GHz and below, and because
it's power requirements are by far the greatest, the 3.06 with
Hyperthreading encountered the problem most often, although the problem
had nothing to do with Hyperthreading per se and was often seen with a
2.8 GHz CPU as well.

The problem was fixed in the fall of 2002, beginning with October I
believe (it may have been November). The boards with the fix also have
a fan on the 850e chipset, but the fan itself, while helpful, was not
"the" fix (the P4T533-C motherboard had the same chipset, and never had
either the problem or the fan).

You can tell the date of your board from the serial number, which is on
a sticker on the parallel port printer connector. 1st digit is the year
of production ("2" or "3", 2002 or 2003), 2nd character is the month
(1-9, then A, B, C for Jan-December).

If you have the problem, you can RMA the board to Asus and they will fix
it. All of these boards are still under warranty (they have a 3-year
warranty, and were first produced in 2002).

The P4T533 motherboard is a VERY good motherboard, providing, of course,
that you have one that works.
 
I would be surprised if you had to actually install IAA for that CPU to
work. Most likely it just means if you have IAA installed, you need at least
that version of it..

The system was built and the OS loaded with the 3.06 installed.
