I didn't realise there was a jumper on the motherboard. it is now working fine so thanks very much for your help. Only thing is I thought it was my bios so I updated it and I've got problems with that now ! On first start up its fine but when I reboot the system is dead. Only way to get it...

There is no option under the bios to set the SATA controller.

I run WinXP Pro on an Asus A7n8X motherboard with an ATA WD120g hard drive. I've just bought a SATA Maxtor 80g hard drive which I want to use just for storing files but I'm having problems getting windows to recognise it. I think I need to install the si3112 driver which is on my motherboard...

Thanks for the help guys. I bought it because I'd heard that OCZ had sorted themselves out. Well thats the last time I buy anything from them. I'll send it back and replace with Corsair.

Specs :- A7N8X Deluxe 1002 bios, XP2000+, OCZ PC3500 EL 256MB In the bios when I set memory to detect by spd it posts at 166mhz. If I try and increase beyond 180mhz the system crashes and I have to reset the cmos. Shouldn't PC3500 be able to go beyond 200mhz even though the cpu is 133mhz ...

Sorry juin but could you elaborate ? I've finally managed to download bios 1002 but spd still sets memory to 166mhz. Do I have to wait for an even newer bios or have I been sold PC2700 in disguise ?

The german site was the only one I could connect to but after selecting bios 1002 and downloading it I just get sent back to the select bios page. I'll give 4-2-2-2 a try in the meantime. That reminds me, when I tried to set memory to 200mhz the bios automatically set the timings to something...

You're right I have bios 1001G. I've tried updating it to 1002 with AsusUpdate but cannot connect to any servers. I also have OCZ PC3500 EL. Am I right in thinking it should go to 200mhz even with a 133mhz processor ? Thanks.

I have an A7N8X Deluxe with an AMD XP2000+ and 256mb of PC3500 CL2 memory. Under the bios if I set the memory by SPD it runs at 166mhz If I try and go beyond 180mhz the system hangs. I realise that the 2000+ will only run at 133mhz but shouldn't I still be able to set the memory to 200mhz...
