Qwik report on MSI 746 Ultra

Thought Would Post a quick report on my replacement board The MSI 746 Ultra... (and my new Tbred B XP2000)

I have lost 1000 marks in 3dmark 2001se & it will not overclock one iota...

it has fixed AGP/PCI settings (I set it as 66/33)
there is no vcore adjustments at the mo
memory vdimm 2.5-3.0
Processor/memory ratio 1:1
no option to change the multiplier...

if I even try to run the FSB at 134Mhz, neither XP Pro or W98se fresh installs will boot right (XP keeled over at loading resident stuff (ie Mcafee antivirus v7) & W98se would not even launch the control panel)!!!

oh well, this is only a temporary board till Nforce2 & KT400A sort themselves out which is best

(next gonna try 256mb PC2700 memory rather than 512mb @PC2100 for a laugh...)

Hmmm, wonder if I can get a valid page fault ???
these invalid ones are far too commonplace...
