Hi Jon,
It's the last of the usable x2-939 motherboards. Not sure I would bother
with it now though. The board has been discontinued and is a dead end
for upgrades and such.
If you are looking to up grade from a pre 939 based AMD system then it
will be a waste. At this point I would only recommend a Intel Core 2 Duo
975 chipset based system.
Significantly faster better upgrade path and can be got for similar prices.

Hey Chris,

Thanks for the info. I'm kinda stuck in 939 land for a while yet though as
my K8ns-ultra just died and, after a nightmare with an out of box A8V, I
bought one of these.

I also just bought a A DM-3200 and some other stuff (Ksp8, Cubase upgrade,
etc)as well, so I'm kinda tapped out for the cash to do a major daw upgrade
(mobo, cpu, memory etc.)right now.

Any tweaks/caveats I should be aware of for the A8R in the meantime?

Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,
make sure you load the newest BIOS before you getting to chipset/driver
updates etc.

leave the sata controller on ids mode the raid mode is not very reliable.
Make sure you use the AMD dual core optimizer driver and the ULI chipset
update from Nvidias website not from ASUS website. Don't use the on
boards sound.

Don't use 4 gigs of ram the board is not as stable with 4 gigs.

So Mr. Ludwig,

What CPU/Ram combos would you suggest with this board for best stability
with Cubase 4?

Thanks!

HI Jon;

The FX60 or higher or the Opteron 175 or higher.

We used to use Samsung DDR400 CL2. You will have to use it in pairs for
dual channel memory support.
Don't bother with more than 2 gigs.

Chris

HI Jon,
Any of the Nvidia cards will work fine. Haven't tried Matrox on that board.
