,so the 3200 should have worked,
the board maybe faulty or the 3200 was,
what ram are you using?
Twinmos C.L. 2.5 (400Mhz) , The full story was that Chaintech officially support the 400Mhz but I never saw a prove about that, I only find by luck one guy that was posting a thread about a Zenith with 3200 Barton in France . I found an OEM XP 3200 Barton (who actually saw him worked in my machine in 1400Mhz only)
When I tried to change settings was hanging up, either on the boot or inside Windows after secs. I bought it on the flea market. I tried to test it on my cousin's machine but a fell of his screwdriver on the mobo burn out the CHIP!!!! But the guy who sold it to me was kind enough to test it together also at his mobo , an ASUS with Nforce 2 (same as mine). There I realize that my chip was dead. Out of curiosity I asked him if he had another one. He had another piece with the same specs OEM Barton who actually run at 3233 (and U can see it in the Bios recognition) and had the FSB opened. He was working fine in his machine, but refused to work at mine! Sad story, a lot of wasted time and money. I don't know if the problem was with the unique timings that these OEM chips have as I read, but the question is why it was working with the guy specs? (His RAM chip was 333Mhz mine was 400Mhz) I suspect but cannot prove (not willing to pay more to find out) that Chaintech asychronous mode isn't that Barton friendly). So I think I will go for the Sempron
I would to hear your opinion about the story
So thanks everybody,
