| I installed PC3200s in my mobo too... hmmm. But I thought if you install PC3200s in a mobo that is compatible with PC2700s, it will just run the PC3200s at a lower speed???? Does anyone know? |

After all this and thinking it was a security thing from HP... I didn't have the 12V connector connected to this mobo. Once I connected it, I got the thing to boot up with my PC3200 (DDR 400) ram.. everything a'ok
hallelujah!! |

Great to hear!!
We often overlook the simple factors.. and wonder why we are so "blind"!
Normally, faster memory will clock down to the intended system bus speeds. BUT if a specific type of memory is designated, then only that type can be successfully installed.

Anyone know if the SATA ports on this mobo support 300 Mb/s rate?
I bought a Maxtor 500 GB SATA HDD and it has jumper pin set to 150 Mb/s by default. I would like to remove the jumper pin to get the 300 Mb/s rate.
Thanks. |

I downloaded :
- (786B2 family) v2.43 BIOS from HP
- Broadcom NetExtreme Gigabit Ethernet for HP
- Intel 82865G Graphics Controller from Intel
- SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio from HP
It all works! |

You could have downloaded the chipset drivers from Intel but since everything is already working, let them be.

I'm about to install this same mobo. I read all the past posts and have all the drivers suggested. Before I install, how is the mobo working? Any complaints or install tips?
Thank you |

I've been using with mobo for a few weeks without any problems. I think it's a great deal for those using it as a replacement.
Anyone been able to find the i/o backplate shield for this mobo? I went to
the Asus online store and couldn't find any direct fit but didn't want to risk
buying something that looked like it fit. Anyone know for sure which i/o
shield fits this mobo?
Thanks. |
