bioStar M7VIF KT-333

[IGBT]

Any body build a box with the M7VIF?? Newegg has sold a bunch of these boards but so far haven't heard how they are. I got one but waiting for the cpu's to drop in price. Also have 2 sticks of Mush.pc2700 ddr.

I've used plenty of Biostar's M7VKB, M7VKL, and M7VKG boards, and they're pretty darn good. Only problem is that they're traditionally very light on tweaking features.

Hi:
I own one of these boards, and i dont know what is going on, my 1800+ Xp is detected as a 1150 MHz cpu, being in fact 1533, anyone knows what gives?, or a way i could slap it around and knock some sense into it?

epsylon - Check your user manual. You should have a jumper to set the CPU frequency. Your current speed suggests that you're presently set at 1000mhz instead of 133mhz.

If this is like the M7VIP there should be a jumper marked JCLK1. With the jumper across pin 1&2 the clock is set at 100. Across 2&3 you have 133.

it seems i just thought that the jumpers were set to the default 133 mode, but they were at 100, now i corrected it and it works as it should, i thank you verry much
