Prices across the net range from $219US to $300US..... Amazing it sells out! I'll have one shortly and we'll what all the fuss is about -------------------- Too Many Computers,...

Running the 6600 and trying all 3 memory brands I have, 400FSB was a no-go.... Of course that was when I could even get it to POST... Like other ABIT's, it likes all the fan headers occupied... But still, POSTing was rare and when it did, it loaded defaults.... I have the Refund RMA, she's all packed for the trip, and on Monday I'll see her off... -------------------- Too Many Computers,...

Someone else had the same thing happen to them as happened to me. And there is several stories at XS like this. Luck? Maybe not...... -------------------- Too Many Computers,... Too Little Time .....

On my last ABIT motherboard I never had any trouble with their windows bios flasher. -------------------- Gigabyte EX38-DS4 Intel Q6600 RAM 2gig 1066mhz DDR2 Graphics card 8800GTx Posts: 52 | From: Ireland | Registered: Mar 2007 Polygon Admin Member # 1 posted                    Windows!!!! I couldn't even get the board to POST! Tried 3 different memory types and was hoping a new BIOS would fix the problem. DOS flash was only option. RIP -------------------- Too Many Computers,...

Posts: 27487 | From: Fire Island, NY | Registered: Feb 2003 steve30x Full Member Member # 3271 posted                    Yeah the ABIT motherboards are picky with ram , just like my current MOBO. I just hope when I get my AW9D-MAX it wont give me any trouble. -------------------- Gigabyte EX38-DS4 Intel Q6600 RAM 2gig 1066mhz DDR2 Graphics card 8800GTx Posts: 52 | From: Ireland | Registered: Mar 2007 steve30x Full Member Member # 3271 posted                    I got an AW9D-MAX today but every time I set an overclock the thing reverts back to default settings for the CPU and ram.

Amazing.... What has happened to ABIT? As far as giving up on Conroe, you picked the wrong board! Pick one that is working super, not one that everyone is sending back... -------------------- Too Many Computers,... Too Little Time ..... Com'on AM4!
