Might be worth checking your memory voltage in bios, some boards do not set the correct voltage automatically.
Welcome to the forums, post back with an update.
Given this reply early in the thread why has the thread degenerated into a pointless and stupid arguement? This seems to happening more and more in here. I have to assume some people just don't actually read the whole thread they just troll through looking for an argument - GROW UP! :rolleyes...
Just wondered if you had tried dropping to the 133 divider using tighter timings to gain stability at this point so you could then begin to push up the fsb once again.
An extra 512mb of ram will certainly speed things up and just running 2 sticks in dual channel will improve it again. You would be well advised to try and match the second stick as closely as possible to the existing one (same revision, type etc.) to avoid possible problems.
I would say...
The Opty is running at 2ghz which is 200mhz slower than the 3500's 2.2ghz (both stock speeds) however the Opty has 1mb of L2 cache per core compared to just 512kb on the 3500. At stock speed the extra cache should in theory just about make up for the 200mhz drop in speed. In theory then copying...
What speed was your 3500 running at? Tha Opty will only be using 1 core to copy from your drives so if the 3500 was running faster than 2ghz the Opty will be slower. If you clock the Opty to the same speed as your 3500 it should take a similar time but you will have the advantage of using other...
The top pci-e slot when used in single card mode works at X16. To use the second pci-e slot you need to move the jumpers on the board to enable sli, both pci-e slots then share the X16 lane and work at X8 each. You can use just the second pci-e slot for a single card if you wish. There is still...
No, I didn't need it as my case has all the connections built in but the connections are all shown in the manual.
If you don't have a manual I am sure you can d/load a pdf file from the DFI site.
If you have problems let me know and I will scan it for you.
1st item is called frontX and fits in a 5.25" drive bay and is used for connecting the supplied mini 1394 socket, s/pdif, serial ata and diagnostic lights.
