I've been building computers on and off for 10 years and I've never
had so much problems as I've had with socket 775 motherboards.  I have

As I am struggling to make my memory work in a stable way, I find that
ther is something I don't understand in the BIOS of my GA-EP35C-DS3R.
Just above the memory speed setting, there is a "performance enhanced"
wich is , by default, turned to "turbo".

What is the correct procedure to use the illuminated cmos reset button on my
GA EP45-DS3P?   There is nothing in the manual/

I recently tried adding 2 additional 512 MB SIMMs and after booting,
the system Beeps once per 5 seconds forever, and won't start. These

MSI Group & Devs Specifically:
    There **is** a problem with the JCOM1 port on the motherboard! MSI has  
reversed the actual pinout of the serial port header on the motherboard.  
To make use of the serial port you must find a **non-standard** RS560 DB9  

howdy,
would somebody post the values of the amibios v2 to
get a "barton 3000" to show as a "barton 3000" with
a msi kt6v mobo.

I recently completed building my new computer using a Tomcat i845GL-S2098
motherboard.
Then I installed Windows XP from my CD. Everything went very well! XP worked
fine!

I'm having an odd problem with the RAID on this device. Even though
now the arrays show Healthy, Windows still shows each of the drives
separately under Drive Management and My Computer.
The motherboard is Tyan S2865, and I have configured two SATA RAID-1
