K8N DIAMOND Plus Error(?) message during post.....

I know some of the DIAMOND PLUS owner have gotten this...it appears at the bottom of the screen, only when both SATA controllers are enabled and a drive plugged in to both:
"NOT ENOUGH SPACE TO COPY PCI OPTION ROM [00:13:00]"
Has there been any answer or resolution to this? Or does anyone know what it means??

Rocketman18,
I have scene that error message when I first start being up my Diamond Plus.  It never seamed to have any effect on the system or its function and after one of my first real completed BIOS Clears procedures it never came up again.  I think it is one of those undocumented BIOS parameters gets trash in it that causes the unused error message to be displayed.  I contacted MSI Support and that is when they sent me the V1.16 BIOS was to clear that error message and a few other ones weird error message during boot.  I think if you will take the time to do that supper BIOS clear procedure I have been trying to get you to, but you never seam to get around too.
Here is the procedure again if you want to try it, now.
This procedure insures the there is no power let in the system to defeat your attempt to clear the clear the BIOS parameters.
(1) Unplug the AC Plug cord from the computer.
(2) Remove the Battery.  If your like me and has always struggled with get the little battery out when buried behind and under cables in between I/O cards.  Get a small pair of needle nose priers and press the two metal tabs together that make up the retaining clip.  Now this first time you do this it will surprise you, because if there is nothing it its way the spring contact behind it will pop it out with enough force to send it flying.  If you power supply is mounted in the bottom of your case, put paper over the grill, because if the battery goes in there you are in for at lest 12 pack day.
(3) With power, unplugged and the battery remove press the BIOS clear button and the Power switch and holed them for twenty to thirty seconds.
(4) Then, let the system set for as long as you have patience, at lest thirty minutes.
(5) Again, press the BIOS clear button and the Power switch and holed them for twenty to thirty seconds.
(6) Reinstall the battery and plug the power back in.
(7) Boot the system to the BIOS to BIOS Default Values, Save and Exit.
(8) Reboot to BIOS Setup Routine and Set all Bios parameters to the normal system operating parameters, save and exit.
Note: Do not setup your system for any over-clocking, but check you memory default setting to insure the BIOS is setting them correctly.  Mine sets the default memory voltage to below the manufactures spec.
(9) Reboot the system to the BIOS setup routine, YES again, rechecks that all of you normal system operating parameters are still correct save and exit.

    Dear experts
    I have created a purchase order with batch specific unit of measure KAI.
    I created the inbound  delivery document (say for eg: 30,000 KG)
    I have taken GRN for the above IBD through MIGO transaction with 101 movement for all 30,000 KG.
    Later i have posted the return delivery 122 movement with reference to above 101 material document. 30,000 KG
    After this i realized that i need cancel the 101 movement document.
    So cancelled the 122 movement document, and try to cancell the 101 material document.
    Then system is issuing error message VLA 321 "Movement type 102 cannot be used here".
    Also if i again want to post return delivery to send the stock back, then also i have error message. but this time it is VLA 319

  • 3 ea MSI K8N Diamond Plus will not POST

    I have 3 K8N Diamond Plus motherboards that recently started having intermittent problems POSTing to BIOS. I initially found it possible to boot by clearing CMOS and reentering my settings; however, over time these boards have gotten to where they will not POST at all. Power comes up, but the four-LED diagnostic display stays continuously red, indicating no BIOS activity. Ideally, I'd like to get my hands on a service manual for this board, but if anyone can throw out common issues with this board as a starting point, that would be great.  All of these boards have been in service for more than 3 years in 3 different machines. The failure appears to have identical symptoms. I would bet the component that has failed is common to all 3 boards. It seems other people are having the very same problem with these boards over several years of service. I have tried all of the usual troubleshooting tactics with no success. Thanks!

     Check for bulging, leaking, ruptured capacitors near CPU socket.

  • K8N Diamond Plus + Adaptec 39320

    I have just built the following
    K8N Diamond Plus + ATI All-In-Wonder 800GT + Adaptec 39320 + 2 x Atlas 15k II (Raid 0) + 2 sticks of 2100 memory
    When I reboot it's 50/50 whether or not we get to see the XP desktop or get a reset.  From a warm restart (within XP) it hardly ever boots.  From a cold start I get more success. In safe mode it gets as far as MUP.SYS and then waits. After that it may boot XP or reset.  Also the XP logo (fade in) at the start stutters a lot.
    So I get the Adaptec bios screen, I get the XP logo fading in and then just when you expect to see the blue desktop it resets.  I have seen a couple of "controller failed to respond in time" in the XP event log.
    Is this some kind of timing issue?  Is there a known fix?
    thanks
    charker

    Charker,
    You power supply looks like a good one.  The reason that Stick and I were jumping on you power supply is that the symptoms you were giving are those that we see a lot of and the cause nine out of ten times is to small or bad power supply.  Yours being new this should not be the case, but even the best company let a bad one get out the door some times, for right now I am going to assume that the power is OK.
    One other thing before we get to your problem, the Forum likes to see your system specifications in your post or preferred in your signature.  It helps us help serive you better, note my signature, if you would had a signature like mine or Stick’s we would not of had the ask you about you power supply and could have gone directly to other causes of problem that can cause you symptoms and saved a lot of time.
    Now, there have been many problems with the Diamond Plus.  It is a very advance motherboard number and many people with little experience with computer are having the most problems.  As you see I am building a new Diamond Plus system and I am also using a third party Hard Drive controller like you are so, I think we can talk and know what the other is saying, but just so I know what level of instructions I need to give when I ask you to do something.  Wil you let know a little about yourself and computers.
    First, myself and others have had problem with thrashed BIOS parameters that are not listed in the BIOS setup routine, so I would like you to Clear your BIOS as the first thing you do.  However, there is a problem here to the MS-7220 MB many people have been having a problem with the reset circuit on the MB.  Therefore, to insure you have a truly cleared BIOS and it will not given us problems.  Unplug the AC Power and pop the battery out of the motherboard and let it set all night or at lest eight hours.  I personally run around in circles for days until some one clued me in to the trick.
    Second, unplug all equipment not required to start Windows and see if that has any effect on the problem.  Where we are going with all this is looking for some hardware or software that is not responding fast enough or at all the in the required time Windows is giving it.  Following this same line check you System Even Log for Warnings or error about hardware or services that Windows has to restart more than once or does not respond quickly enough.
    Third, I have new BIOS that if you would like to try it sent me a personal message with your e-mail address and I will send you a copy.
    Try all of that and let me know what you find.  Do not reply only if you just still have problem, because we like to know if what we have told you worked and it helps other people who may be having your same problem.
    If you do not understand any of my instructions or need more details, just reply and we will work it out.
    Good luck and hope to hear from you soon.

  • MSI K8N Diamond Plus - Guide to my first week

    OK, not a newb here, but been around the block quite a bit.   MSI K8N Diamond Plus is my 5th A64 mobo (ECS K8M800, my daily undestroyed computer, K8T800, my 12 year olds gamer, Asus A8V Deluxe, first 939 system, Abit AN8 SLI, first SLI gamer, and now the MSI Diamond Plus).   Had the KDP (K8N Diamond Plus) for more than a week now, and here's what I've learned.
    This is state of the art again, and we have no one to blame but ourselves for the pain this causes us when we upgrade like lunatics 
    And as usual, the drivers and BIOS are al Dente (i.e. not cooked enought yet, a little raw)
    MSI is also oddly silent on this system, which is wierd, as they are a large company, and specifically cater to enthusiasts.  But their BIOS guys are MIA.  Hopefully this will not be forever.  Asus, ABIT, DFI, Epox are always fast with fixes
    The board is a nice design, with everything basically accessible, as much as any other board.   Lots of purposeful components, not too many dumb frills.  No tooty fruity colors, but rather practical parts.
    The new 2 piece NForce chipset is fine, and the MSI guys gave us a decent, but funky cooler.  It gets a little warm to the touch when you pound on it with Prime95, or Quake4, but other than that it is fine
    The manual has a zillion typos, and fortunately for us in this forum, we have shared what we've learned.  The translation from Chinese to English leaves quite a bit to be desired, and hopefully, MSI will learn from Asus and Abit and get a better translation service.  In 2006 this is just plain stupid, especially with a $225 board   
    As usual, the mobo supplied tweaker utilities are just aweful.  They look like a hallucination from a Hunter S Thompson book, and they work about as well.  Core center is a sad state of affairs, and the rest of them just burrow their way into your otherwise stable system and cause it to have poor behavior.  And therefore as usual, the BIOS is the best way, if slowest, to tweak this bundle of parts
    Which brings us to the BIOS.  IMHO, the worst one I've seen on a high end board.  ZERO explanation for half the settings (this is not strange in and of itself, BIOS is still a black art, but in a tweakers board, we should have some basic explanation  )
    There seem to be adequate settings in the BIOS for all sorts of doodads and gizmos, but who the heck knows what half of them are.  Roger points out rightfully, that we now need to "Tune" across all these different intermediary bus structures and test.  But with the lack of info from either NVidia, MSI or anyone else for that matter, its kinda hard to know where to start.
    The board is clearly sensitive, which is a result of it being high strung.  This is no different than any "first out" product I've ever bought.  Most take 2 or 3 turns of the crank to get totally stable and forgiving.  This one hated my OCZ platinum EL 2Gb kit memory, and it brought out the worst in one of the SLI based EVGA 7800 GT COs.   These components worked in the Abit AN8 SLI (although not always great), but the MSI has ZERO tolerance for even the slightest pertubation from the memory.  It was BSOD city until I removed both of these components by process of elimination that took probably 100 hours
    Once I removed the bad components, and replaced the memory with Geil Ultra X 2x512 2-2-2-5, it worked great, ran Prime95 for 10 hours with no errors, and seems reasonably stable.  I've RMA-d the bad 7800GT CO back to EVGA, and will report back on how SLI behaves when I get the new one (cross shipped of course, I haveno patience )
    I also now need to replace the 2Gb RAM kit with something that the board will tolerate.  I may RMA the 2Gb kit back to OCZ and try another one, but I dunno.   I love OCZ but I have a bad feeling about this, even though they have great!!! support.  I may try OCZ PC4000 or the RAM that Roger successfully used.
    I did upgrade to the 1.16 BIOS, and found that some new things were added, as well as voltage control in Cell was a little better, but registration of changes in voltage is still a disaster.   I adjusted a bunch of times, it didn't register, and I ended up smoking a new A64 3700+ Diego with 1.95 volts, even though the BIOS claimed it was 1.53.  I had to rebot to see what was going on.   The Thermalright XP-90 kept the proc from melting down through the earth
    Finally, I hope this board attracts more people, and therefore more tweakers that can figure out all these gadgets and settings.  Everyone flocked to the Asus X16 SLI product, which is too bad, as this one needs lots o' folks to hack it up for us to figure out what is going on.
    The on board Creative audio sounds lousy to my ears, and I will replace it with an Audigy 2ZS gamer that I had in the Abit.  It just sounds better, but hopefully the drivers will not trash my newly stable system.   Creative scares me, they scare me alot.
    I've been able to get the CPU up to 2.4Ghz, with a .5 volt bump to the CPU and 2.9 volts into the Geil memory.  So far, so stable, no smoke coming out yet 
    I hope this info is somewhat valuable to someone on this board.  I will post details of all changes that I make, as others are doing, so we can at least take care of ourselves with this thing.

    first of all, i do think that all the settings in the BIOS have an explanation in the manual, even if it's a basic one. if that explanation doesn't tell you everything in detail, is because if you do need a detailed explanation of the settings, you probably shouldn't be messing around with those settings.

    wanna tell me how did you get 1.95V on that mobo?

    a 0.5V  bump? again, you must be joking. maybe 0.05V.

    Hello,
    I just installed the bios 1.34 on my K8N Diamond Plus MB.  Everything went ok with the flash USB utility program. 
    Has anyone had trouble Disabling PCI ... and/or SATA ... Speed spectrum?
    Everytime I try to disable them the computer freezes and restarts.
    I did unplug the power cable and cleared the cmos by pressing the clear cmos button on board and all that good stuff.
    Granted it's a beta Bios but just wanted to know if anyone else having that problem.
    Sorry for bring this old topic back up. Didn't know if I should start another topic or posted in here.  So please be kind

  • 2 'problems' with the K8N Diamond Plus

    Hi there.
    I just bought a K8N Diamond Plus and I'm having some troubles installing my system in conjunction to my Decklink Extreme PCI-E ( http://www.decklink.com/products/sd/ ).
    Here's my configuration:
    MSI K8N Diamond Plus
    AMD64 X2 4400+
    ROSEWILL 6600GT PCI-E VGA
    Decklink Extreme PCI-E
    2GB  RAM ( 2 x 1gb) Kingston
    OCZ-520 12U Modstream Power Supply
    plus 6 HD's (7200rpm) and 1 DVD-+RW
    The problem is, when I try to initialize the system with the Decklink, which it's a PCI-E 1x, it just don't boot. Neither putting the Decklink on the 1x, nor in the 4x slot and nor in the 16x.
    The Decklink is working just fine in another system and doesn't seem to be a problem with this card.
    I wondered if there's any limitation in the K8N Diamond Plus with working with the ROSEWILL 6600GT PCI-E VGA plus the Decklink.
    =======================
    The other thig is that when I take off the Decklink, the system boots normaly but a message appears while booting: "Not enough space to copy PCI option ROM 00:13:00".
    And I don't have a clue about what's going on.
    =======================
    Please enlighten me with this questions if possible.
    Thank you very much.
    Greets.
    Igor Bineli

    Remove the battery away for 10 minutes, clear CMOS, start the system to load setup/optimized defauts in bios setup. After that, disable all onboard items in bios setup that you won't to use.  Save and exit.
    Plug ROSEWILL 6600GT PCI-E VGA card,  and start your system to check if there is the error message. If there is, borrow another brand VGA card to do a test.
    Besides, update your MB bios and driver version to the latest one.

  • K8N Diamond Plus, SLI and Creative X-Fi cards, anyone running similar?

    Hi there!
    I've got an ASUS A8N32-SLI board and my X-Fi card does not work with it, nor does it for many other people with similar setups.
    See here:
    http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=31426
    and here:
    http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=26289
    I get crackling and popping noises when running most games, e.g. BF2, Fear, FarCry.  When my 2x7800GTX's are in SLI mode it crackles loads, e.g. start far cry, click options, and listen.  When i disable SLI mode it crackles less, but it still crackles.  Many others encounter similar issues with their systems that are not identical but the symptoms are similar - high load = crackling/popping.
    My question is:
    Is anyone here sucessfully running any X-Fi card (music, fatality, elite pro, etc) with 2x video cards and NO crackling/popping in BF2, FEAR and FarCry?
    I've already had a replacement X-Fi card from creative which their tech guy said "should" fix it, lol, I'm wondering wether to replace my A8N32-SLI with an K8N Diamond Plus to fix the problem.  Besides, the MSI board has better PCI slot location and works with nTune too unlike the ASUS board.

    What's going on guys.
    I hate to see peep's having soooo many prob's and it sucks major BALLZ. The reason why I'm reposting is that I encountered a new issue. Not with my rig, but a friend's.
    We pretty much have the same setup. Differences are he's using 2GB of Corsair DDR400 (which is picking up as DDR333 as well), different branded video cards (I'm running two EVGA 7800GT's in SLi, he's running two BFG 7800GT's in SLi), XFi Platinum (me, Fatality Edition) and he's got a dedicated ITE RAID PCI card for his RAID from his previous rig. Configured his BIOS pretty much the same way I have it running (he wanted to Overclock his AMD x2 4400+ to 2.6 GHz), but when it came to installing Windows we kept getting BSOD's during installation. Looked over things numerous times and it didn't make sense. We resetted the BIOS to default settings and Windows went through without a hitch. We tried OC'ing it one more time and Windows was fine. But, when he installed and ran Quake 4, either Windows or the game would just lock up. He booted back into the BIOS and put the CPU back at stock frequency of 2.2 GHz. Game ran flawlessly afterwards. That points at the processor. The only differences were we both have different stock fans and his CPU was manufactured in July '05. Mine in Sept '05. His rig also reports the infamous "Phantom" PCI modem as well.
    Quake 4 is the only game he's got installed so far, but he reports everything is set to their highest qualities, including resolution. He said it runs great with no anomalies. He's going to install Dawn of War and Winter Assault later I know.
    Me? I haven't run into any issues with any games either, including F.E.A.R. as Hydrasworld asked. Both of our sound cards are in the Communication PCI Slot of the motherboard. My take on the OC issue is since we're using different proc's from different wafers, maybe my chip had revisions in September that the July proc my friend has didn't. Also, his heatsink has one less copper pipe I noticed. I'll still drop by for help. Good luck to you all and the only other thing I can add is try using the latest drivers for each piece of hardware you've got.
    LPB
    P.S. If you can and you purchased a retail version of the processor, on one of the sides of the carton insert for the processor, a date should be printed. Maybe that can explain some issues. Once more, my proc was manufactured September 15th, 2005.

    I have the same motherboard with 4GB Ram. I had to enable the memory hole in the memory configuration of the bios for it to see the full 4GB. However, Windows 32-bit will not show the full 4GB ram since 32-bit addressing limit is 4GB and all your peripherals have to be included like vid card memory, etc. So don't beat your head against your desk once you get your bios seeing the 4GB and Windows 32-bit doesn't. My Vista gives 2.8GB ram of my 4GB, some get more, but I know I have two video cards with 768MB ram also. I'm using 1.2 bios.
    Incidently, I ordered an OEM Vista X64, it will be interesting to see if it sees all my memory since 64-bit can go up to enormous addressing ranges.
    Good Luck

  • CPU Usage 100%? K8N Diamond Plus

    Never before have I witnessed the CPU being used at it's absolute maximum.  It has been occuring regularily with my system.  I noticed it first when my screen saver started getting jittery.  This seems to occur most often about 1-2 minutes after windows finishes loading.  It seems kind of odd to me that this occurs during typically idle system times.  The memory usage also dramatically rises during these spikes, using ctrl+alt+delete I noticed svchost.exe to be the culprit of the memory usage atleast.  The hard drive doesn't appear to be active when these events occur.  Is this normal for this motherboard, or is this something that should be corrected?
    I've always had 3 short beeps upon startup with this board, but it has never stalled the boot process.  Anyone know what this means?
    I've upgraded my board somewhat recently and carried over the CPU and memory from a older MSI model that used the same type.  Could it be possible either or both are incompatible?
    Also one, somewhat less important problem.  First off I must say that the PS/2 power on feature is pretty cool.  I used it with a wireless keyboard so I could turn on my PC from my living room HDTV (I have my comp wired through Y/Pr/Pb cables).  Only problem is about one in every 4 or so shutdowns the system restarts immediatly when this feature is selected in the bios.  Bios issue maybe?

    get Process Explorer to determinate in details what make this CPU usage: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html
    it has more detailed information than the built-in task manager.

  • Soundblaster Audigy on MSI K8N Diamond Plus, Sound Linked? vs Audigy2 ZS?

    Had a couple of quick questions regarding the Soundblaster Audigy onboard chip on my MSI K8N Diamond Plus.  I have the audio connected to a front panel, and when I try and change the Right or Left speaker volume balance in Windows (by going to volume control and dragging the balance slider right or left), the volume slider goes down and the balance slider snaps back to center.  As in my previous post, I had some damage to my front panel connector pins and wanted to make sure this wasn't a hardware issue requiring a replacement of the board.
    Also, I have a Soundblaster Audigy2 ZS card from my previous system, and I was wondering if it added anything the onboard Soundblaster chip doesn't provide.  I was thinking of installing it, but if the onboard audio does everything the card would, I'd rather just use the onboard solution.
    Thanks.

    Onboard creative is just live24 marketed as Audigy SE
    live 24bit is an audigy SE striped down of some features.

  • Aftermarket HSF options for K8N Diamond Plus

    Just built a new rig with the K8N Diamond Plus  and am very pleased with the board -- worked great from first power up and with a little BIOS tweaking I have no trouble getting a 50% overclock from my dual core Opteron 170.  No headaches at all, unlike my previous experiences with Abit boards.
    The AMD heatsink fan unit (with heatpipes) provided with the 170 is not bad at all, but I'd like to replace it with a more capable unit, along the lines of the Zalman 9500, Scythe Ninja, Tuniq Tower 120, Thermalright XP-120, etc.  The tall heatsink of the Nvidia NB is close to the CPU socket and quite high, so I'm not sure if any of these will fit.  Anyone using one of these or similar heatsinks ?  Please let me know if they fit, or did not fit. 
    Since I could find any of the 7800GTX 512MB boards I wanted, I'm using a single MSI X1900XT card right now but plan to go SLI in the future with 7900GTX cards driving the 30" Dell monitor.  The ATI video board and nVidia mainboard surprisingly get along great, with no crashes so far and 3DMark06 scores above 6000 -- the X1900XT is an impressive piece, and much faster than the X800XT-PE I had in my previous computer.  But the fan can be extremely loud and the Catalyst Control Center sucks.  Unfortunately the old ATI control panel is no longer offered...

    TimeReaper,
    The problems your are talking about are not uncommon with this MS-7220.  The BIOS Clear Circuit physically has problems and that is not something they are going fix with a BIOS upgrade.
    The BIOS Clear Circuit actually trashing the values stored in the CMOS by not doing a complete clearing of the CMOS is causing the problem.  What leaves trash for parameters, for the BIOS to use when rebooting.
    Let give you an example that fits your case.  You can set the BIOS to turn the system on at any give time and date.  So, if the trash in CMOS is in those parameters storage location.  Therefore, whatever trash value gets stored in the locations, as a dated and time, will turn the computer on at that time.  So, you could of had the computer come on in the meddle of the night two week later.  Now, think of all the functions the BIOS have and how many weird things people are having and do not know why.  There is one guy that is a regular on the Forum how has been fighting a problem I know is caused by trash in the BIOS CMOS, but Strick and I have ask him to do a good CMOS clearing and he just will not do it.  I even wrote out in great deal the over night CMOS clear procedure I use.  It is a pain in the ass, but some times, I have too use it.  I just had to use it, upgraded V3.09 using short CMOS Clear and had no problem.  Used the short procedure again when upgrading to V3.0A and everything when to hell, had to finally use the long overnight procedure and reinstall Windows to get computer to run right again.
    NoBS, when your computer goes BOOO during the night just plain it o MSI.

    When submitting a problem, include a complete list of your system components; include part numbers, all Power Supply Voltages, and their output ratings.  It is almost impossible to estimate what your problem is without knowing something about it. 

  • K8N Diamond Plus incompatible w/ENERMAX Liberty ELT620

    Howdy folks, 1st post and yet I'm about to loose my AMD virginity, so please be gentle.
    The new build has already been purchased and is in transit, so info would be greatly appreciated.
    I a$$umed 620W Liberty with 12v combined @ 36A is over blown.
    That is until I found this site. Still shaking my head at the high amperage needed for this type of bleeding edge tech.
    I’m just stunned that (2) 12v 22A rails are considered underpowered…
    So any one have any success with this woefully <sarcasm ON> under powered cheap <sarcasm OFF> Enermax 620?
    I really need the power and drive connectors, but most of the 26A PS would have too narrow of a head room.
    I am well over budget, and the peripherals should be here for a weekend build.
    Hoping folks with the Diamond plus and Enermax ELT620 could please post experiences.
    Not sure if the second MoBo power plug works off the “other” rail, since I have not even seen this PS or K8N Plus.
    Of course, I will post results.
    Thank you for your time

    In most cases it should be just fine. The only area where it may fall over in is DLI'ing two of the bigger Vid cards. The reason is in how dual rails split the power. As far as anyone can tell the best solution for SLI'ing two high amp vid cards is still with a single rail PSU. Outside of that the Liberty should be fine by all I can tell without trying it myself. That won't happen though as I gave up on Enermax due to the fact that I want Dual High Draw Vid cards and they simply don't fit that bill in my book any longer. Either you get Dual Rails from them or the wrong cable sets. That is why I went to OCZ.
    Your milage may vary.

  • MSI-K8N Diamond Plus - which memory?

    Hello,
    I will soon buy the K8N Diamond PLus motherboard. For that motherboard, I have selected the following memory: Corsair 512 Mo DDR-SDRAM PC3200 CMX Cas-2. But I can not find if this is ok for this type of motherboard. Does someone knows something about that?  ???
    Thx in advance! 

    Marlysa,
    I would suggest that you stay away from the corsair xms ram as i figured the sme thing when I built my system, that it,s Corsair and its the #1 selected ram and usualy the most compatible, But this is not the case with this motherboard it's very picky about hardware pretty much the same as DFI board's!!!
    Of course the CORSAIR WEBSITE will tell you this they want youre money!!!!!! Their certainly not going to reccomend OCZ MEMMORY that's for sure!!!!!
    Please reconsider youre decision as I myself have traveled down that road you about to take. Personaly I love Corsair ram and i certainly wont bash it, but  get the OCZ5002048ELGEGXT-K  it cost me $213.00 wth tax for 2 gigs instead of $160.00 with tax for the corasir xms 2- 512 sticks Believe me you will be thankful that you took my suggestion!!!!! with the new 1.20 BIOS at optimized default's it posts and configures itself automatically where as befor you would usealy have to configure it manually in bios to get it to post at 500mhz believe me this OCZ MEMORY ROCKS!!!!
    Save youreself alot of this....      BUY IT!!!!!!
                                                                                                 Brother Esau
    P.S just check around the forum their's alot of peop[le that have issues with the  DIAMOND PUS AND CORSAIR RAM.
