Hi, Anthony.

I have the K8NS-939. It likes the Kingmax pc3200 dual channel kits.

It's out of stock. Better get on auto-notify as the rebate is running out.
$84 for 2 x 512's !!

Oof! Today is the last day!

Well, it will only be $94, then, unless they get more in before midnight of
whatever time zone they're on.

Memtest86 went up from about 1300 with a gig of single-channel pc333, to
about 2200 with the Kingmax in dual channel. The board will run four of them
in dual channel (blasted Trainz is so demanding -- well, it helped it.).
Now, I hope that will hold it for a couple of years! I'm selling $200 worth
of old stuff.

PS I'm running my 3200+ as a 3800+.
HT 4x, clock 240, multiplier auto (10x), memory 166, vcore 1.5v.

BTW You may have to set the memory to 200 manually if not overclocking to
where you need to set it to 166. Maybe my board was hung over from the
pc2700. I ran it stock at first, then went back to the overclock. The memory
winds up at 200 both ways. (240/200 * 166 = (close to) 200)

You sure have to hit CTRL + F1 in the bios to get some of the good settings.

It's so amazing to run prime95 torture test and instead of apparently
whipping up a bunch of stuff on the swap file for a couple of minutes, it
dives right in and you can still surf the net just fine because it doesn't
even use 1.5 gigs.

Now just don't make ddr obsolete already with ddr2 or something! (-:

Actually, I read that pc500 will become the new standard.
