Re: ram,at the risk of...
sounding like I am clueless

Is it not important if you add ram, the largest stick has to be in first position...I had this happen once...just a thought

lostcowboy,
you said,
"If you change the speed be sure to change the clock multiplier, DO NOT OVERCLOCK YOUR CPU, unless you are ready to buy a new one."
I assume you mean if I change the speed of RAM, which I did.
I'm not sure what the "clock multiplier" is.
The only Clock reference I can find is "Standby Clock."
For that I have two settings; CPUCLK/2(default), CPUCLK/4
It's set at default

The only CAS latency choices I have are 2CL,3CL(default).
When I first installed the SDRAM chips the system would lock up.
I changed to 2CL and that problem was corrected.

Under DRAM Timing Control I have; Normal, Fast(default), Medium, Turbo.
I just now changed that from fast to Turbo and see no obvious changes, but at least I see no problems either...:)

It appears that there are only two other changes I can make in Advanced Chipset Setup that may make a difference;
PCI Master 1 WS Write
PCI Peer Concurrency
Both of these are set on their default settings which is Disabled.
I plan to run as-is for a while to see if a problem develops because of the DRAM Timing Control change to Turbo.
If there are no problems, I'll try changing the above PCI settings.
(unless you tell me differently....:)
