Help me for the A7N8x-x

[aishodan]

Hi everyone!!
Please help me, if you can, with a pair of problems with the a7n8x-x...my config is
amd XP+ 2600
3 x 256 mb ddr pc3200 @ 400mhz
radeon 9000pro 64 mb...
First one, ram: at the startup the system identify the memory with 200mhz speed: is it normal or not? If not, what can i do?
Second one: could be that the nvidia chip fights with the ati graphicboard? I play games, also with directx 9.0 (max payne 2 ), and they often crash, somebody the system restarts automatically...what can be the problem?
Thank you and forgive me for my english.. (I'm italian)...

The 200MHz is correct. It is running at DDR400 speeds as it should.

For your second question you may need to run the game on the lowest settings. That card might not like Max Payne 2 at certain points. Also make sure you get the latest drivers from ATI just to help rule out any possibilities.

Yes, get the latest drivers, and make sure to get the latest patch for Max Payne 2. I had crash issues with that Asus board, but updating to the latest drivers/patches solved the problem.

Thank you all...but, by first, I've got the Catalyst 3.10 - the last ones, I think, and I've patched max payne 2 to the version 1.1 and the problem continues...i've tried also to format the system and to install only dx8 trying No One Lives Forever 2, and the the game often and often crash...second thing, the software HW32 read my ram as a pc2700 @ 166mhz and after a fast benchmark the results are similar to a slower pc with 266mhz ddr ram...
Trust me, I'm not the last idiot in matter of pc, i build all my systems by my own from 6 years ago but I've never seen something like this..always solved every problem but now I'm stucked...
