The cable wasn't seated all the way in :<(

Under disk controllers the harddrive is showing stock win ide drivers.
Shouldn't there be ata133 or 100 showing up or does the Nvidia chipset do it
there? Alan.....

Okay I have looked under harddisc controllers and it shows MS primary IDE
(single fifo) and secondary IDE controller (single fifo) its listed that way
either under view devices by type or by connection. By device it shows
Standard Dual PCI controller (MS drivers)
Under PCI bus by connection it shows NVIDA nForce AGP host to PCI bridge-
NVIDIA nForce MCP networking adapter-NVIDIA nForce PCI System management and
NVIDIA nForce2 Memory controller (5 times)
The install CD is called NVIDAnForce2 Series Rev 44.07
I also see in the bios there is no support for a second floppy which sucks
for me as I needed the second one.
I am also running Athlon 2500+ with a single bank of 3200 ram set by SPD
with FSB at 166 but shows the ram speed a bootup as 200 single channel. It
is 400 DDR that I would think would run at least at the 333 but not 200?
Thanks Alan

PC3200=DDR400(DUAL Data Rate) and therefore runs with a RAM FSB of
200mhz, as programmed in the SPD. Your single stick will give you
single channel. All is well, in this aspect! The 2500+ is designed to
run at 333mhz. According to nVidia, to run the board efficiently, the
memory speed should be set to Sync or 100% to match the CPU speed. On
the boot screen the memory will show half the speed of whatever CPU FSB
you are using.

Hello so I have a adaptec uw 2940 controller with 2 scsi cdroms on it (0 ,
1). With the CUSL2-C MoBo the cdrives showed up however when I put in the A7
board just the IDE cdroms showed up with the HD. The adaptec shows up in
device manager with no problems marked. Also I lost one floppy drive too.
Bios set to floppy seek. Running win98SE

Universal USB Card reader- Hotswap IDE pull rack-2 floppy drives-Teckram
scsi controller ( scanner on it)- Adaptec 2940UW-
DVDwriter-DVD-Plexwriter-ultraplex wide cdrom-maxtor 80 gig-redeon
9200-modem-SB live value-on board sound disabled in bios. Thanks Alan

Thanks Rob I havae noticed that some people are claiming that you get better
performance out of using PC2700 ram that
is running at the same speed of the CPU a matched 333 speed. The change in
Sync speed causes it to stumble a bit. Alan....

The only commentary I can lend is this: I've run my XP2500+ and PC3200
RAM with both of them set at 333 and 400mhz and it benched in line with
similar systems, as expected. If I attempted to run the CPU at 333 and
the memory at 400, things looked and worked relatively poorly. So, for
me, underclocking the memory is OK as long as it is Synchronized with
the CPU speed. YMMV!
