same here, some light gaming
Mostly OC for watching HDTV 1080p videos and encoding video/audio

Wah.. Learned alot about RAM thiggy! Haha.. Was planning to get a better ram so can go further. Hm.. Need to make consideration before make any purchase. Otherwise bought wrong then worse! P4 system need high speed instead of tight timing? Learned agian. Hah.. yea.. Feel the needs of loosen timing when my rigs go over 230fsb.

Haha.. Shawty bro now cannot la.. Really stuck at 3.6G atm. Cant even prime my system at 3.61G le.. 10secs then system go restart already. Maybe can hit 4G after i change my ram. lol.. 4x 256mb wasnt that good for OC eh. Too many chip on the ram..

@ray, dun wna la.. Dont dare to take the challenge. No fund for getting better ram as im now stuck at 3.6 eh! lol!

There is only 2 games on my pc atm. Dawn of war and RO! LOL.. Was accompanying my gf play that online game. As for myself.. I seldom play game. Unless the game really hooked my interest! Might wan to try LOTR after finish DOW!

dear friends,
need help here. does this mobo support prescott soc478??still got my P4 3.2E with me here...

It says in the BIOS updates that it supports Prescott CPUs. Installing a Prescott 478 should be fine.

Haha.. Gigabyte board huh.. Should be ok with Prescott gem i guess. Try flash the bios to the latest version and try. By then.. Its running on sis chipset. Was that good for OC thou.

oic, thx.
selling my proc actually. and interested person using this board. just check the compatibility.....

wah suddenly talk about gaming? now the only game i play is CSS and sometimes NFSMW/NFSC

thats why i always keep my stuff backed up in my external hdd.seriously heart ache when my hdd fail last time


*OT : so fast 5 pages already.s478 suddenly so hot wan

@flyon
fast fast accept the challenge, break the 4GHz wall. show sHawTY some color. wahahaha......

you try running with 2 stick of ram see how far it can go.

If anybody is upgrading to new platform and want to sell their 7950GT AGP, please PM me.

I'm using socket 478 too, P4 2.8E.

is it because u didn't supply enuf vdimm?
usually 2.8V can give a good BH5 to run 2-2-2-5@DDR440

seriously, running 4dimm was no go for all platform, not to mention S478.
try get 2 X 512MB ram and OC kaw-kaw.

here are some advice :

1. change your ram:fsb ration. make ram running 100 or 133mhz,
then start to clock up fsb to find the best cpu clock. while doing that, run some prime or orthos to stress the cpu for stability. (pls do with stock vcore 1st)

2. once u had the cpu sweet spot, start work with ram. see how much yr ram can be clock with stock timing & vdimm.

3. it's best if u can compile the oc attemp into excel sheet so that is easier for u to refer .

4. after u had both ram and cpu sweet spot, try to match them up for the best combination. refer the excel file earlier to make the best OC.

*remember to try this at stock Vcore/Vdimm 1st. slowly increase the
voltage after u had obtain the best OC to squeeze even more mhz from it. remember to burn in your system (best if over night) for stability check.

some good advice there ... thanks to albert ... well fylon ... u dare to take the challenge?

wao...thats really cool. seems i have to fine my sweetspot according to your advice. Thanks.

Ha.. Dont la.. Later make shame ar! Haha! Yup.. Was planning to take off the kingston ram and see how it perform. Since the other pair ram is hynix D43 chip i bet it can goes beyond 240fsb thou.

Wah.. Advises from 'old folk' eh! Haha.. Jk jk! Thanks for the advise albert. Really learn alot! Tonight go home try with 2 stick hynix and see how it perfrom. Else then gota lower down the ratio. As for me, i prefer to run at full 1:1.. But that kinda hard for 4x stick ram.. Compile excel sheet for OC!? OMG! Thats really pro! Haha! Got do homework type!

yeah ... that's the spirit ... share the result with us tomorrow ... hope u can bring some gud news

Flyon, now every one of us are eyeing on you oo......

show us what you got. i know you can go beyond that.

while fylon bz tweaking his rig, why don't we update the super pi score or anything ... at least there r some activities running in here .... will be more fun

@sang_karim
true also. these days didnt see you play around with your rig, no updates?? your rig can fight with flyon also ba....

Damn, last night i format windows and do installation till almost 1, and the damn rain this morning make me cought heavy flu. now like half dead. my poor merdeka eve. all my merdeka program spoiled.

Yeah, I read about those reports where BH-5s require 2.8v to start up.

But what's the use anyway, having only 512MB of RAM for my PC isn't enough, and if I want 1GB I have to pair it with KVRs which can't take strict timings, so there's not much of a choice.

Hi everybody.

I'm using P4 1.5, my 20GB hard disk spoilt already, can i replace it by 80GB hard disk with 8MB cache?Any brand of HDD that recommended?

How large capacity of hard disk that P4 1.5 can support?

thanks 1st.

need help here. what actually this website meant by prescott 3.2G??
see below link:

my friend want to use my proc 3.2E, but can't boot after installed. he is using this mobo:
