I was already looking at that database, looks like my mobo and cpu choice is good. I have bought a 2gb kit of OCZ Platinum to go with this setup. But thanks a lot for your help reply.

Still running Bios version 3.0 on my MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum Sli but now I am in the process of upgrading my computer to Intel Core 2 Duo. Still AMD Fan waiting for their answer to Intel Conroe.

Hello guys, need some help. I am going to upgrade my computer from Athlon 64 3200 Venice 939 to a Intel Core 2 Duo. I am betraying AMD this time, last time I built an Intel system for myself was 1998 which was a Dual P3 Xeon and Quake 3 arena looked good on it. As some of you guys know I like...

HELLO everyone!

As to my experience BIOS 3.0 is the best for Venice Core. Some have tried with Winchester Core but were not so lucky. Winchester core has lot of issues with MSI K8N NEO4 PLATINUM/SLI and other Motherboards. But I would definitely give 3.0 try with San Diego since a lot of issues were supposed...

With BIOS 3.3 my MOBO did not boot with all 4 slots populated, so I am using only 2 slots right now with KINGSTON HyperX DDR500 PC4000. This mobo has lot of issues but still MSI K8N NEO4 PLATINUM/SLI is one of the best Motherboard in its class period. Hopefully you did not order Winchester...

Go with BIOS 3.0, and you should be able to clock past not just 210 but insane speeds. I had the same problem with my Venice 3000+ but with BIOS 3.0 I can boot into Windows with 297MHz FSB @ 2677MHz. For complete details about how I achieved my overclocking results, Bios download, FAQ common...

Since you have NVIDIA drivers for 6600gt, your system should recognize 6800gt on its first post into windows. But I would uninstall the NVIDIA Graphics drivers and reinstall again for proper installation.

As long as you still don't have any hardware problems I don't see any reason for any driver conflicts. But different BIOS version, or your new Video card could cause some minor driver conflicts. Easy to fix thou, just uninstall the drivers and reinstall the ones causing issues. But 95% I...

Sorry MellowDude, the link you clicked on had a little typo error. But here is the correct email address. [email protected] Also see if can also add some stess test results like prime95, Memtest86, or new SiSoftware 2005 Burn in Test. If you don't have these tools you...

No Problem, and remember to GROUND YOURSELF BY TOUCHING THE PSU OR CASE CHASIS WITH THE POWER CABLE PLUGGED IN TO AVOID ANY ESD.

** HOW TO TEST YOUR COMPUTER OUTSIDE THE CASE ** GROUND YOURSELF BY TOUCHING THE PSU OR CASE CHASIS WITH THE POWER CABLE PLUGGED IN TO AVOID ANY ESD. First I would lay the case on the bench sideways laying on it side panel so you can extend the power supply wires to reach the Motherboard and...

Yes I would try that first, and hopefully everything will go fine this time if your previous Motherboard was the culprit. I would try testing everything outside the case to eliminate any grounding issues.

Wonder what MellowDude is upto. Have not seen him for a few days. :(
