Anyone built a system with one of these boards and, say, a 3500+.

Also, anyone used the XP64 beta as an OS?

I would be interested in your experiences, apart from the cost of the CPU
;-)

TIA

John

Yes. I have.

Here are my specs:
------------------------------------------------
Windows XP (2600-Professional) w/ SP1
AMD Socket 939 Athlon 64 FX-53, 1MB L2 Cache
ASUS "A8V Deluxe Wi-Fi" K8T800 Pro | BIOS v1006
VIA Hyperion 4in1 451v
1024mb (2 x (512mb OCZ Platinum EL (2-3-2-5) DDR400/PC3200) Dual Channel)
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (Catalyst 4.5) (C-378mhz / M-337.5mhz) OC to
(C-411.75mhz / M-360.00mhz)
SbAudigy 5.1 (PCI-Slot 3)

120gb Western Digital WD1200JB primary/master
60gb IBM 60gxp primary/slave
16x HI-VAL DVDrom (BDV316C) secondary/master
48x/24x/48x plextor (PX-W4824A) secondary/slave

LianLi PC-6070 *Silent* Aluminum Mid-Tower Case | 2x80mm intake fans, 1x80mm
exhaust fan
PowerMax 470watt Aluminum Power Supply
------------------------------------------------

It is a beautiful mobo. I have run into ZERO problems. It is very quick and
the North Bridge doesn't even get hot to the touch. Very odd that it doesn't
even need a fan on the heatsink like most newer North Bridges.

I have not yet tried the 64bit XP beta. I will soon though.

Are you expecting a price drop in the next 2 months?

Its a very expensive CPU at present, especially with the expected P4
reduction in August!

Rgds,

John

I'm running this:

ASUS A8V DLX
AMD ATHLON 64 3500+
2- KINGSTON 2X512MB (MATCH PAIR) PC3200 400MHZ CL3 (3-3-3) DDR DIMM
WD 36GB 360GD SERIAL ATA 150 10,000RPM 8MB HD
Microsoft Windows XP HOME

I'll most liklely wait on the OS upgrade though.. I don't really trust
Microsoft Beta software. I wish I could have afforded the AMD ATHLON 64
FX53 processor but it's completely out of my price range.

Thanks. Very interesting spec and info.. I would go for the 3500+,
accepting the lower cache.

I look forward to ordering in the next few days, just waiting for a final
memory spec.

Rgds.,

John

Thanks all for your valuable comments. I shall be ordering this week,
using XP Pro initially. I have the XP64beta, but I want to use the PC as
my #1 so beta s/w is not sensible.

Rgds.,

John

Anantech did a 939 board review. The A8V was held out according to
them because ASUS is going to start shipping a ver 2.0 board that
has a working PCI bus lock. I guess mainly important for clockers.

Thanks. I saw that and was wondering what the time scales were. I don't
normally overclock, but its useful to have the facility if I want to play
later.

Thanks for the prompt 🙂
