infinity nfII ultra - seems pretty solid and was easy to set up

still haven't been able to get my memory to run at 250 fsb - i'll keep plinking along with it - my primary hdd seems to get lost at fsb >225

seems a little snappier that the epox boards i've had

I switched from an Ultra Infinity to an MSI KT6. The DFI is one sweet board. The MSI has a far better SATA RAID controller. ;)

250 fsb !!! What the heck kind of memory are you using? Are you running sync (1:1) cpu and memory front side bus?

These are very nice mobos. What BIOS are you using? Here's a link to some Beta performance BIOS's coded by Oskar Wu, who in fact is the guy that designed the LANparty B and Ultra Infinity for DFI. Still works for them too.

http://www.dfi-street.com/bios.html <b> will VOID ur warranty </b>.....no biggie, just flash it back to an "approved" BIOS if you have any probs with it.

I use the 1/21/04 beta and it works terrific. Of course it IS a beta and ymmv but it's not from some internet hacker or anything. :cool :

kingston hyperx pc4000 running 1:1 synch right now 10x225

runs fine at 12x200 but want to run that fsb into the sky :)

225 fsb is about the best so far on the ol' mobile 2400

Not sure what kind of chips they use on that stuff. :w hat

I'm using 8-3-3-2-2cas as you read down in ADV chipset features if that helps you any.

I got my xpm2400+ running in a little cheapo case with an Albatron KX600S pro mainboard ( VIA KT600 ). Pretty cool little box. Only running 10x200fsb but the good news is I'm able to run the proc at various multipliers and FSB's, unlike that dipshit MSI KT6 Delta LSR I had that locked the Mobile's @ 15x multi.

Just loaded in XP and updates ( ZZZZ zzzz ZZZ zzzzz ) but so far so nice. :D

John, from what I read anything above pc3500 has limited to no compatability with the Nforce2 boards

My Mobile 2400 and DFI NFII 400 Ultra shipped this morning, now I just gotta scram up the cash for some ram!

really haven't had a chance to play with it timewise and it appears that my main hdd may be going up - don't really remember how long it's been in there but at least 1.5 years maybe more with a lot of gaming - just backed off to 2.0 ghz for the time being because i was getting a lot of no findee hard diskee

be interested to see how your build goes - i have a feeling that my chip has a working max of <2.5ghz
