<font color="indigo" size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Well, after purchasing a new case, Chieftec Matrix Series 'Planet Purple' with Side Glass Window, and a new 120GB 7200rpm Western Digital Hdd with 8MB Buffer I was ready to put everything in the case. I checked every connection a few times to make sure it was all connected correctly. Then i POWERED HER UP and out came 'FF' on the diagnostics port 80 and nothing else. I have seen this happen before witrh the EPoX 8RDA+ board, and I think it has something to do with the 'fragile' Bios on the nForce2 boards. either way she just would power up and nothing would boot, and i couldn't get in to the bios or anything. Well, I RMA the board back to NewEgg.com and The board should be back by the middle of next week. In other news, I also am getting a new stick of memory, 512MB PC3200. I don't know much about the memory at this time, donated by a Local Store so i have no clue what to expect. It is in and all i have to do is pick it up. I will finish up the reviews on my Athlon XP 2400+ AIUHB 0248, EPoX 8RDA+ MoBo, 120GB WD 7200rpm 8MB Buffer Hdd, and my Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti4200 128MB DDR Card.</font>

Damn dude that sucks as I was looking forward to hearing about your oc'ing adventures. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"><BR><BR>I'd be betting that the memory you're getting is generic... Probably has timings of 3-4-4-8 at 200 MHz. Hopefully you can adjust them a bit tighter! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
