915GM Speedster-FA4 , banias CPU support

Does the MSI 915GM Speedster-FA4 motherboard support Pentium M Banias CPU?
I think that Celeron M (100MHz FSB series) are similar to Pentium M Banias, but to be confirmed.

Dothan is newer than Banias. ... so I'm not sure...

915GM Speedster-FA4 - ICH6 or ICH6R which one?

Hi
I recently purchased 915GM Speedster-FA4 based setup. I was planning to set it up with raid0 and lived in impression that this motherboad has built in support for it (ICH6R). Manual states that MB is equipped with "optional ICH6R" southbridge, but there isn't any kind of mention how to enable it. There are also whole section about setting up the raid. But of course document starts with enabling raid in BIOS and at least my version (v1.13) doesn't have any options to do this.
So the question is, does this motherboard have raid support or not, and if there is how to enable it?
Thanks

915GM Speedster-FA4 Help needed.

I have tried to put together a system based on the 915GM Speedster-FA4 motherboard.
But it just wont post.
I have installed CPU and memory and PSU, nothing else.
I have tried two different CPUs, both 400Mhz Dothan, one SL8BA and one SL7GL
Can anyone confirm that they are compatible with the 915GM Speedster-FA4 motherboard?
The Jumpers are: J4 (not connected), J5 (2-3 connected), J6 (2-3 connected)
I have tried both DDR1 and DDR2 memories (not at the same time)
Using a 20-pin PSU. I will try to swap PSU, but after that I have run out of ideas
Is it possible to get any diagnostics from this board???
Advice please!
/Anders

915GM Speedster-FA4 - works with DDR2 667MHz?

Hi folks,
first of all: sorry for my English - hope you'll understand me
I've bought a 915GM Speedster-FA4, I will run a P-M 750 on it.
Now I'm looking for RAM.
DDR2 400MHz / 533 MHz is supported by the board, but will also 667 MHz RAM run?
(manufacturer will be Corsair, model: value-ram DDR2 667 MHz)
I don't have any experience with DDR2 - but e.g. in many
boards with DDR 333MHz support I ran 400 MHz without any problems.
Thanks a lot!

"DDR2 400MHz / 533 MHz is supported by the board, but will also 667 MHz RAM run?"
should be not a problem, board should accept 667Mhz stick(s) or higher rated and will run it as 400 or 533. if you using 2 memory sticks ensure they are same brand & specification.

[Intel] 915GM Speedster FA4

I have flashed the BIOS to the new 1.13 from the site, but still have problems with overclocking and the SATA HDD.
When I go above 165FSB, I no longer have SATA drives visible in the BIOS, and the system tries looking for another boot disk.
Is there anyone out there who has overcome this problem, or is there a newer 'beta' BIOS available to overcome this problem?

Tips overclocking 915GM speedster-FA4

Intel
hai there,
this mobo is a good one even they're not the best on the oc.
i manage to run @ 166mhz with sacrifice the onboard ich 6 r and replace it with a pci sil 3112 and did it even with a 180mhz oc but hiks hiks hiks my proc need a higher voltage than the standard 1.35 and this mobo wouldn't let me change the vcore(hiks hiks hiks). i hope with the new bios i can change the vcore(pleaseeeee).

Yes it´s an interesting MoBo, ( I´ve been thinking about it for my P-M 730 cpu), however mATX "server"-boards does not normally have all OC settings like ordinary desktop boards.
What bios are you running at the moment ? Latest 1.13 have an OC fix ;
Version    1.13    Update date   2005-9-16
Update Description   1. Fixed bug that may not Over Clock with SATA drive

915GM Speedster-FA4

i have not purchased this motherboard but i am buying a new pcie card and i dont want to upgrade my current Pentium 4 (socket 478) to a new one and this was the ONLY s478 pci express motherboard that i could find. So i am wondering if my P4 will work with it because under supported processors it says " Supports Intel® Pentium® M Dothan/Celeron® M Dothan processors in 478-pin package ". Does that include my processor? And also the only place i could find this board sold ONLY the board and not the driver cds and cable etc so when i tried to find a driver download i was unsuccessful as well so if someone could point me in the right direction i would really appreciate it. Thanks
Dom

...so basically, this board will NOT work with my processor?...
You are correct, your proc is not supported.

...Where can i get a board that does i have looked everywhere. Thanks for the reply.
Here are the boards that support P4 478 procs, none of which support PCI-e. I am not aware of any PCI-e board that supports P4 478 procs.

HELP!!!!! 915GM Speedster-FA4 PCIe x1 slot not working - SORTED

Hi, I am at my whit’s end with this motherboard, I cannot get the PCIe x1 slot to work. When I use the PCIe x16 slot it recognises the option card OK but the x1 slot will just not see it.
I know the network socket 1 needs to active for the PCIe x1 slot to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
SORTED - IRQ clash with the onboard boot ROM for Lan socket 2 - NOT DOCUMENTED - MSI PLEASE TAKE NOTE

Sorry there is no MSI in here....
It seems that nobody used that config to be able to help.
And no, I'm not from MSI either

CPU Support List for MoDT boards

Hi!
I can't find such info on the site and support staff seems to be too busy to answer me.
Anybody knows full lists of CPUs compatible with the following boards: 945GT Speedster-A4R, 915GM Speedster-FA4?
I'd like to buy a cheap used CPU but I need to know for sure what CPUs are supported.
Thanks.
Regards,
Vitaly

Thank you, but actually this is the kind of information that can be found on the site as well. It gives some clue, however is not a CPU compatibility list. Core names are not official and are never mentioned on Intel site. Today, normally CPU compatibility list would include processor #s and required PCB and BIOS revisions.
915GM Speedster-FA4 has been designed for Centrino.
http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/915GM/index.htm
945GT Speedster-A4R has been designed for Core Duo (478 pin)
http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/945GT/index.htm
Both of them are old enough, so don't worry about BIOS revisions and other similar things.
cheers

Maximum Athlon XP CPU support ; enter yours !

I’ve a K7T Turbo Limited Edition (3.X with Bios 3.4) but i cdo not understand what is the maximum CPU supported; In fact :
The manual says Athlon 1.3Ghz
The Board product page says Athlon XP 2Ghz
The CPU support page says Athlon XP 1.8Ghz (the OK stops there)
The Bios page says the ver. 3.3 bios supports XP up to 2Ghz
It’s a little messy, isn’t it ?

Any higher can work, but you might blow the board because of the powerconsumption of these CPU's....
As the BIOS for the K7T Turbo2 is the same, but this board supports higher CPU's, it's a bit confusing that you see the above CPU's listed...
That makes no sense as the power consumtion of the xp 2000+ is lower (70 watts max according to amd tech docs) that the 1.4 gig tbird cpu(72 watts max according to amds techdocs)

K9N4 SLI - Lack of 125W CPU Support

Hello,
Just wondering why does this board not support any 125W CPU's?
I was looking at getting one of these boards to throw in a 6000 X2 but according to the website, this board only supports the 89W version, which is unavailable where I am.
I've seen this CPU supported on a Gigabyte board using the nforce 4 SLI Chipset, which the nforce 500 SLI is based off or rebadged from.
Thank you.

I'm sorry, i really don't care if the board goes up in smoke. As a matter of fact, this board is one of the worst decisions i have made. Don't get me wrong, I will always stick with MSI, but this particular model of a board seems to have constant issues with a lot of other people. particularly with it not posting right out of the box. i myself had this issue 2 or 3 times with the same model board and according to my findings here, and in many other forums, so do a lot of other people. so really, who cares if the damn thing goes up in smoke? it was only $80.00 and in the meantime I have a good setup going on. you won't hear me complaining about it frying, i'll just buy a different model.

FM2-A75IA-E53 CPU supported list is missing

I read the subject about how to know the CPU supported by the Motherboards but in the case of FM2-A75IA-E53 motherboard there is no SUPPORT -> CPU SUPPORT in the product page.

I think (hope) they are revamping them because they are definatly missing.
Contact msi for this information for now.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

You can upgrade to an SSD.
The simplest method is to use an SSD like the Corsair Force 3 and be sure that you purchase the migration kit.
The migration kit comes with cloning software and a usb to SATA/power cable that connects to the new SSD.
It is recommended that you purchase and SSD that is about 256 GB in capacity if you can find one that is affordable.
SSD with migration kit options in a search that I did.
