Getting rid of the MSI NEO-FIS2R
I have a MSI mobo for the past 3 weeks, 875P chipset and am sending it back.
I am sick of the hassel with the bios on this mobo.
I ordered an Abit IC7-Max3 today, should be here mid next week. Maybe this will be somewhat better, seems as though the P4 line of cpu's get along with Abit mobo's much better.

Believe it or not, put everything into the case, hooked it up and turned it on and it booted up.
Everything works and works great.
Using the onboard sound and this is the best sound I have heard from any computer speaker system 6:1 SS.
Not as loud as the sound card I have been using, but really great, sounds as a super sound system in a great sound hall. Have had the MAXIII up and running for 24hrs and not a gripe one.
Haven't done any OC'ing as yet but that will come later.
what a nice setup!!!! PIX!! WE NEED PIX!
The new memory will be here about Tuesday.
So I installed the only new memory I have Samsung PC2700 CL 2.5.
I thought I would see what this mobo will do with this memory installed.
I set the memory to 2/3 and upped the fsb to 230, booted up and all OK.
After a few minutes of running that speed, I set the fsb to 245. The system booted and no problems this is 3678mhz, I ran this system for the rest of the evening at this setting.
I shut the system down about 11pm. and the wife got up at 5:30am and turned my system on, then hers, she surfed the web looking for crafts she uses for a hobby she has, then she left and went to the super market.
I got up about 7:30 and the systems was running.
I got on the web and surfed for awhile, read what mail I had and after about 10:am, I remembered that I have the system OC'ed 678mhz.
I checked the temps of everything.
ALL IS GOOD, I am lovin this MAXIII even more.
I was temped to pull the PC3200 out of the wifes system and place the PC2700 in hers---NAH, she is too valuable to me for that.
I can wait 3 days for my memory to arive.
My advise is if you want a mobo that will do about anything you want it to, get yourself an Abit IC7-MAXIII you will never regret that decision.
I have it installed and no problems.
I have been able to OC this system to 245fsb=3678mhz.
I don't know about you, but I think this is fairly good.
I know it will go farther, I just haven't pushed it there as yet.
I am lovin this MAX3 more day by day.
I did not try any higher and didn't go over 1.6 core and 2.8 memory.
The max on mem 3.2, core is 1.9, agp (don't know)
One does not move when you adjust the other.

What is the cough thingy? Is this the folding thingy that a lot of people do? I have never gotton into this sort of thing.
I must say it probably has something to do with my setup.
But I guess I need pictures at times.
