I got a K8V SE Deluxe and had quite a time finding any memory that would
work at all. However, I would like to overclock the FSB and can't get
anywhere with the PC3200 Kingston parts. Has anyone gotten any PC3500 or
faster RAM to work with this card and gotten the FSB significantly higher
than 400 MHz. I have an XP 64 3000+ so it uses Unregistered parts. Video
is ATI Radeon 9800XT. Also, I heard if you stick in a third memory stick, it
won't work at all at 400 MHz, it will have to be set back to 333. Is that
true? Man, what a wierd board when it comes to memory, everything else is
great except the stupid location of the power connector, but that's minor.
The memory thing is bad though. I have tried Geil Platinum PC3500 and
Kingston HyperX PC4000 and neither one will even get it to POST. Also tried
severl different PC3200 from Micron and other and all fail POST. Only
thing I got to work was a Kingston PC3200 Value RAM that happened to have
Hynex chips on it that matched a part number in the manual. It seems to
work, although I cannot get Norton Ghost (from DOS) or PowerQuest's Drive
Image (from DOS) to work with it. I don't know if that is an issue with the
Athlon 64 or I still have memory issues running under DOS. Windows XP Pro
is up and running and so far is stable. I want a really fast Memory
stick so I can see how far this Athlon 64 3000+ will overclock.
