I'm sure there is, I just haven't devoted any brain power to it. It feels like putting a semi diesel engine in a hatchback.

depends on the board. CPU microcode is outside of my wheelhouse. As an example, it takes a bios update to run 900mhz P3 xeons. Without it, the boards cap @ 700 (or maybe 750)

The Xeons aren't locked downwards AFAIR, so they will most likely be at the highest the board knows?

Is there such a thing as a slot 1 to slot 2 adapter?

I know there was the reverse. https://www.anandtech.com/show/318 it looks very simple.

I don't think the opposite is possible.

Hey luckybob, although it's not Christmas yet, but Santa has brought you a nice unexpected gift if you've been looking for the unobtainium SAC.EXE / IOPSETUP with the same poor results as myself!
ASUS P2B-D2 Driver CD (including the I2O Utilities!)
Check the \I2O folder, it's all there 😀 And yes, I've imaged that from an original CD that I got with the ASUS P2B-D2 board, lucky me! 😁

These Asus p65upX boards are great! I own a 5. But I’m wondering what (kingston) ram I should use for it? What specs? EDO 60ms ECC 64mb? I would really want to have a total of 512mb.

Any advice of specific make/models where you have positive experience with?

Thanks!

Standard EDO ram. nothing special. 😀

ECC doesn't work on this chipset, if memory serves. So just get the cheapest 70ns ram you can find.

Great, I’ll go and get that!

Thanks!

Ohh and I want to buy your P65UP8! 😉

i'm going to be buried with it. ^.^

I totally understand! 😂
