Has any one used this board. I've had one for a few days but can't get
hyper- threading to work. At first I couldn't load XP, checked every thing,
different drives, IDE,SCSI, No cards, only video. Then I disabled HT, no
problems loaded all software but as soon as HT is enabled,it will do post,
reboot,post,reboot and on and on.Asus said try different memory,I've one
stick 512k DDR333 so I'm waiting for new memory to arrive. If that doesn't
work then it's going back. I've had SuperMicro and Tyan before, i think i
should have stayed with them.
 
The way I understand it, in order for HT to work

Must install from a XP disc with SPI integrated. You need to make a
slipstreamed XP Pro SPI CD

Or Windows 2000 Server SP4 integrated

Must install on a machine who's BIOS properly identifies HT

Must install on a machine who supports MPS 1.4 I think
 
Not really, there's nothing elaborate you have to do. I've setup HT a few
times.SP1 isn't needed, it wasn't out the first time I had SuperMicro X5DAE
and 2 x 2.66's. The board is supposed to support HT, but i've my doubts
now. Tried to install server 2003, no luck with HT. I've had feedback from
Asus, sent them Sandra report, then they suggested no cards etc. Still
doesnt work. Asus tried something with the Intel chipset which Intel woudn't
do. Now i know why, Intel wouldn't do it. I'm sending the board back. I've
leaned my lesson,stick with the people who know. Thanks for the feedback.
