So called OCZ "Platinum" 1 Gb modules are based on Infineon memory chips which are prone to glitch in 3D games (visually) and it can't be detected by MemTest. Depending on luck, G.Skill might be exactly same Infineon chips or Samsung UCCC. The latter can go quite high in overclocking, but only with …

Ah... I already suspected the memory modules... I have OCZ Platinum modules 2x1Gb with CL2... Thought they would do just fine... But have G.skills CL2.5 lying around here. ...... Edit: Found the problem. Still had the the memory manual on 400 instead of auto. Now it works without problems Got it …

I'm not sure what you mean by "delay of the bios screen to appear". Do you mean a delay until POST starts? Yes, it's normal behavior for this board, when the FSB is overclocked. However, this does not affect the functionality in any way - it just adds 5 - 10 seconds to the initial boot. yesterday I …

Hello, Just to try it I overclocked the E5800 - then something occurred which I didn't expect. I don't know if this is normal behavior. Whenever I put the speed higher it results in a delay of the bios screen to appear! The higher the clock speed the higher the delay. Is this normal behavior?

I found the original XP version on steam .. I have no experiences with steam... Can I download a setup put it on a USB drive and install it on my XP machine? I found a way via the 1.3 patch to make it playable without the client... But there is no detailed explanation about game installation.

Yes that function isn't supported on XP, although they could (probably) just as well have used a similar function that does work on xp (e.g. GetModuleFilename). See the last post here for something that might help https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=779160 Hi... Thx for the hint... Unfortunately …

Hello there... I just installed the E5800... Man what a difference!!! I ran 3dmark03 and 05 with the p4 before and now with the dual core... It's like exchanging ones bicycle with a sports wagon... 😀 But to came back to the ground. It is really nice - didn't think to see so much difference.

Ah ok... I already assumed that there will be minor problems with the higher fsb... so maybe the e5800 could be the really best pick... Besides: guessing that the CPU is strong enough I don't think overclocking will be necessary...

I just looked up the E6800... Can anyone tell if this is compatible with the 775i65g? Think it should be... I would like to test this one too.

Then I stay with my plan... The 775 board with 3850 will be an XP only thing. For Win98 I have my PIII (+gf4ti4600) - and a K6-III(+voodoo3 3000) Maybe I'll try again this 462 project I put on hold recently. This could be nice for XP/98 dual boot. It has a 6800gt (with a nice ac silencer :).... ). …

Hello ODwilly. That's not what I am seeking for. Although it sounds like an effecient solution... Nevertheless I'm now awaiting the delivery of two new (used) CPUs. I am curious how they will perform in my setup.

Updated my post with Xeon which should support 1333. :)... Nice CPU also... But also not supported... 1066mhz fsb max A 3850 was a mid range card in 2008. Any 1066mhz core 2 duo with a decent clock speed will be more than a good match. IMO you don't need to overthink it. Games didn't start making …
