Epox 8RDA3+ and incompatible Kingston PC3200

[LORD]

Well, first excuse for my bad english.
I have an 8RDA3+ with nForce2 Ultra 400 chipset and 512 Mb of Kingston
ValueRam PC3200 and they run perfectly separated, but if I try to run them
togheter, Goldmemory crashes when I analize the RAM and Prime95 crashes too.
I have tried several combinations: 200x10, 133x15.. and all of them crash.
(I have an 2400+)

I´m thinking in sale my mobo and buy another (DFI or ABIT??) or sale my
memory and buy another (GEIL 2x256 Value CL2.5??) but i dont want to buy
another ram that neither runs with mi 8RDA3+
What mobo or ram do you recommend to me?? What model of DFI nForce2 mobos is
the best??

Lord...

Have you updated your bios to the latest revision? I would make sure that
you have the newest bios and drivers, and then test, before selling the EP
Mobo.

I have updated bios to the latest version, and it is a little more stable,
but prime95 crash in 12 minutes
I will update nForce drivers, but I have no hope...
I will buy 2x256 DDR400 GEIL CL2.5 memory and try with this because I dont
want to sell this mobo, I´m in love with it, hahaha

I've got a bunch of Epox boards and all of them will run at the speeds you're
trying to run. You *will* need to raise the memory and processor voltage to get
it to be *stable* at that speed though. Value Ram doesn't seem to tolerate mix
and match components as easily as their HyperX does. This message was typed on
an 8RDA+ with an AMD XP2500+ and HyperX memory with the fsb set at 210x11. Runs
prime 95 and any other benchmark programs with no problem. The v-core is set at
1.850 and the memory voltage is set at 2.6V. It would not even boot with Value
Ram at these settings.
