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?

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!

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 , 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

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

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

K9N2 Diamond - not working with 4x 1Gb Corsair PC2-6400 modules

Hi !
I've just discovered that my K9N2 Diamond will not accept my 4x 1Gb Corsair PC2-6400 modules with my new GTX275, although they seemed ok with my temporary 7950GT card.
The only noticeable difference is that one pair is 5-5-5-18 (installed now alone and working) and the other pair is 5-5-5-12 (removed).
Is this normal ? I also noticed that the actual installed pair is working in "Unganged 128Bit mode" compared to the previous "Unganged 64bit mode".
Would it therefore be wise for me to purchase 2x 2Gb modules instead ? I read that the Athlon x2 6000+ processor only works with DDR2 800Mhz memory ... Is this correct ?
Thanks in advance for your help !

Hi,
Just a quick update : I set the DRAM frequency to 667Mhz using the FSB/DRAM ratio = 1:1.6 but to no avail : the system hangs at post. Would it be better for me then to buy 2x 2gGb sticks ?

Also make sure that 2T is used

Yes, that's best option. For best performance and troubles free use 2x matched memory sticks only.

Is PC2-5400 DDR2-667MHZ ram compatible with MACBOOK

I am wondering if PC2-5400 DDR2-667MHZ ram would be compatible with a macbook (intel core duo).
I am in canada and PC2-5300 DDR2-667MHZ are hard to find.
Does anyone knows if this type of ram would work in a MacBook?
They are much cheaper and easy to find and tigerdirect.ca has great deals on it
Please advice

Yes.Both models of RAM are acceptable for use in your MacBook.

K9ND Speedster board won't work with opteron 2212

Hello,
Does anybody know if this board is compatible with opteron 2212? I am building a computer and when I plug both cpu's all I get is a black screen. If I plug in one cpu (it does not matter which one) the system boots.
Has anybody built a PC with this board using dual CPUs (Opteron 2212)? I checked the numbers and I have a matching pair. Am I missing something? I checked MSI's Qualified Vendor List and I don't see this particular CPU. They only show Opteron 2210, 2216, 2218, and 2220, does that mean that I can only used the CPU's on this list?
Please help!
Here is the link for the motherboard that I have. I have the workstation type, which does not have a built in VGA.

How are placed your memory sticks?
Do you use 8pin CPU power cable rather than 4pin?
Hello, thanks for the fast replies.
My memory sticks are placed in DIMM one and two of CPU 0 and it's working with one CPU. If I plug in both CPUs with I memory stick on each (DIMM ONE) or 2 sticks (DIMM one and two) the system does not boot.
I also noticed that If i plug in the 4 stick (4gb) of RAM in CPU 0 the system does not boot either.
Quote from: Hans on 24-August-08, 06:47:28
Let's go simple with this one:
1. The bios is NOT the isue here. 1.3 simply works with the 2212.
2. You installed your stuff onto another K9ND Speedster and that booted. Was it a K9ND Speedster V1 or V2 that your friend has?
3. The board was RMA'd, right? Are you 100% sure that you didn't receive the same board back as you sent? Did you mark the old board in a way that you can actually tell that it was the one you RMA'd?
* Yes, I installed all the stuff to my friend's board and the same thing happened. He bought the board at the same place... :(
* Yes the board was RMA'd. I am sure that I got another one because the first board that I had before did not work with one CPU plugged in either and the new one does.
Quote from: Bas on 24-August-08, 22:22:54
You did connect all power-plugs properly did you?
Yes, I did. I plugged in the 24pin and the other next to it 8 pin.
Do you guys have any idea what could be wrong? Is it something that I have to change in the set up to tell the bios to accept 2 cpus or igb memory sticks? or is there something I have to change in the board on the board?
I really appreciate your help and effort. Thank you.

DDR2 800MHz is working with G5?

Hi,
I read that latest G5 works fine with DDR2 PC4200 4200 533MHz, but in my local markets there are just DDR2 800MHz.
So is it going to work with G5???

Hi-
The G5 was made to us only PC2-4200 RAM. The G5 firmware does not look for any RAM other than PC2-4200.
Though other faster DIMMs may be backward compatible, if the SPD does not report properly to the G5 system (not properly programmed in the EEPROM), the RAM may be improperly recognized or not even work.
in my local markets there are just DDR2 800MHz.
*Buy only guaranteed Mac compatible RAM of the proper specification.*
Otherwise, expect problems.
If there are no problems, then you are lucky.
