I have an ECS N2U400-A & XP-3000+ with 1 GB of DDR400 (3200)
dual channel (2x512) RAM.

System boots and runs for as little as 20 minutes or as long
as about 12 hours when using 200 MHz FSB.

System has good long-term stability when I choose a 166 MHz FSB
freq. However after a continuous run of a month or more it froze
up as before. The temp in the room was up the day it died, and
I suspect a need for a heatsink fan.

Has anyone suspected (as I currently do) that the nForce2
chip heatsink might need a fan? (PS - I did this on my K7S5A
and it worked wonders.)

Is it possible to get at the CPU multiplier - I'd happily run
the whole thing using a 166 MHz FSB if I could tweak the CPU
multiplier up to compensate. It seems to be fixed, and so
the XP-3000+ machine isn't even as fast as an XP-2400 machine.

I think ECS has decided to forget it ever tried to build a mobo
using the nForce2.

All the best.
