AIW 9800 Pro & Asus P4C800-E Motherboard

[Peter]

I'm thinking of using an AIW 9800 Pro in a PC I'm building with an ASUS
P4C800-E motherboard. Will they play nice together or are there any known
problems?

Peter,
They should play well together from what I have read.
I just built a system for my son, using a P4C800-E Deluxe and a 9800 Pro (not
AIW). Other than an issue with DDR 400 ram (which I had to RMA) everything
worked OK.
On the P4C800-E Deluxe I am currently building for myself, I decided to save
some bucks an went with the ATI AIW 9600 Pro. So far so good.

I'm thinking of using an AIW 9800 Pro in a PC I'm building with an ASUS
P4C800-E motherboard. Will they play nice together or are there any known
problems?

Have Fun...

Jim - Thanks for the reply. What was the issue with DDR400 RAM?

One of the two DDR400 RAM sticks I purchased failed at 400 MHz memory buss
speed. I found the bad stick by running MemTest86 (http://www.memtest86.com/)
with only one stick installed at a time. FYI MemTest86 does not like Legacy USB
Support. Disable it in BIOS for the test and then reenable it after the test if
you need it.
