581219 2007-08-15 22:44:00 it cost me (including postage) $105.50 so that'd be an alright amount to get back for it........oh that included the heatsink and fan also.... drcspy (146)
581220 2007-08-15 22:48:00 Whats the 2.4 CPU?? 533 or 800 fsb??

Reformatting it so it installs the right HAL (if the 2.4 is 533 might fix it).

581221 2007-08-16 03:00:00 the 2.4 is an 800fsb and how can reformatting a drive fix a P.O.S.T problem ?......that's just not possible drcspy (146)
581222 2007-08-16 16:46:00 well I've been pointed to some info from the asus site which i'd missed .....seems that my board will only run a northwood cpu not a prescott..........


from Asus page,
CPU

P4-3 GHz (800 FSB, L2 cache:512KB, HT, D1/M0) rev:ALL

P4-3E GHz (800 FSB, L2 cache:1MB, HT, 90nm) rev:2.01

581223 2007-08-16 21:07:00 That's weird - my last computer had that exact same board with a 3.0 Prescott and it worked perfectly. Greg (193)
