ak79d 400 max
i am running a xp barton 2500+ on this board
i am also running 3 sticks of infineon ddr 400 memory
the bios has set the CAS ratio to 2.0
the onboard raid was a bi*** to set up
but once i got it working , it is blazingly fast
p.s. 3 sticks 256 mb each , i dont know about 512 mb sticks though
i set the front side bus to 180 mhz
the bios set the ddr mhz to 360
it has chipset overvoltage
memory overvoltage and agp overvoltage
and the agp / pci lock is there and works like a charm
i disabled the onboard audio since it always crackled
so i installed a sound blaster audigy 24 bit eax sound card ( great sound )
even when it is cranked up
this board is listed as the 2nd fastest nforce 2 board
next to the asus a7n8x - e deluxe
finally this will suppoet the 200 bus bartons
any other questions reply back
