Oi, don't hijack the thread!

Sorry, forget the spec, just need to know if the Abit will be a better option than the Gigabyte now.

Oh why didn't I see this before?!

I've ordered:
Gigabit DS3 + Gskill PC2-6400 HZ

Is there going to be a problem?

Im in the same boat but with a DS4 , some people have said the HZ works but there was a post just before that it worked once then didnt :/ so im unsure myself now, was considering changing to the abit board but theres not much info on that either. its all a bit confusing :confused:

Yup, it seems the only reliable boards aren't out yet.

Here is the compatible memory list form Gigabyte, not sure if this has been posted before

Just to double check with all the posts, im going to purchase the G.Skill 2GB DDR2 HZ PC2-6400 memory from OCUK. All good for the DS4?

Yes it does because I use it

Does the same go for DS3?

WesleyBurns · 3 Aug 2006 at 13:26

Is there any BIOS update for the DS4? I.E F3A??? And does it do anything?

F2 BIOS unlocks a lot of overclocking extras

Could anyone tell me if this will work (preferably someone with the Abit motherboard).

Would never ever go with a Abit motherboard for Conroe

Tigjaw · 3 Aug 2006 at 14:23
