| I'm going to wait a while before buying some AMD64 powah. At the moment there isn't a good mobo. The VIA has no AGP/PCI lock, the NForce3 150 is not so fast, the SIS is rare. There isn't a mobo w/ full hypertransport and the fastes AMD64 for S754 is a 3700+. (and I've upgraded my pc a few months ago, and now I don't have enough money :grum: ). But that Abit looks soooo sweet, 6x sata  , µGuru (FanEq), but the lay-out seems to suck big time. |

Tried this method... and it rocks  Assembled my a64 yesterday. I used the screws from my P4 kit, they fit just in the backplate of my ASUS. In fact, I used almost everything from my P4 kit, only difference is that a64 has just two holes... Will up a pic this evening when I'm home.

I having this hate-love relationship with my A64. It sometimes has a mind of it's own. But I think (hope is the right word) the K8V is really to blame for that. Today after a complete windows install (with apps) it decided all of a sudden to not boot from the windows disk, but from the data disk instead. Took me 30 minutes and a couple of gray hairs to figure out what was happening. Also, the asus q-fan option likes to literaly stop (yikes) the cpu fan (why???) and when it has done that the thing can't be started again (with for example speed fan). Bet the interior of my PC got a few giggles seeing my face in front of the case window doing a "noooooooooooo" in slow motion while reaching for the power cable. Other gripes with the K8V -> the 1004 bios auto overclocks. It puts the multi of a 3000+ @ 9.5 and the fsb @ 212. Guess it does that to get higher benches. But there's and extra kick to that. -> You can not change the multi from 9.5 in the bios even if you set everything to manual. It just does the settings it wants as it f'n pleases. But wait, there's more. -> If you want to flash the bios back because you would like some control over the boards settings it will not let you. The windows utility suggests you use the AFUDOS utility, the AFUDOS utility suggest you GFY. No, it actually says older bios bootblock detected, and you can't flash. Thanks a lot asus. So now I'm running the 1005 beta which allows some control of the multi but you need to have the FSB at 201(or higher, just not @ 200). I'm cool with that though, at least I got my 10x multi back. Definately not keeping this rig for over 2 months. | |

| I thought my a64 setup was borked yesterday (yes, after one evening of use....  ). Suddenly my system (k8v + 3000+ ) shut off power. Couldn't reboot, no matter what I tried. Only thing that helped was to take out the battery for a night, and this morning it booted as nothing had happened.... And I didn't even start to overclock  .
