Hi guys,
Still collecting parts for my new computer, I have notice that the are a lot
of new Sata II Drives, I know that Sata II is backwards compatible. Does
the 9NDA3J support Sata II in its own right, not just backwards compatible
to Sata I
Thanks Guys, your help is appreciated, between us we will build a great
computer Thanx. I just got a Snazzi III AV.DVD.Evo Capture Card for making
Dvd's, any experiences of this card
Regards

Bob,
According to the 9NDA3J manual:
"Support Serial ATA, an evolutionary replacement for Parallel ATA IDE
storage
interface .Increases the peak data transfer speed up to 150MB/sec and allows
future enhancements to the computing platform."
The "150MB/sec" indicates that your board will support SATA150, or SATA I.
In other words, it will be backwards compatible with your SATA II drive.

No, this board supports SATA, not SATA II. Epox's NForce3 boards
support SATA and AGP video. To get SATA II, you'll need to go NForce4
and PCI-E video. I just built a new system using Epox's 9NPA+Ultra
board. It's great so far. Specs:
Epox EP-9NPA+Ultra
AMD Athlon64 3800 (Venice core)
Kingston HyperX PC3200 512MBx2 (dual channel)
Asus N6600 GeForce 128MB video
Seagate 160GB SATA II
Seagate 250GB SATA
NEC ND-3540A DVD writer
Lite-On XJ-HD166S DVD-Rom
Floppy drive
Antec TrueBlue 480w PSU (with 20-24 pin adapter)
Cooler Master Centurion 5 case
Link Depot USB2.0 flash card reader w/ 3 USB2.0 ports
As you can see I used some older parts, as this was a rebuild of what
used to be my 8RDA+. (It's off at Epox getting its caps replaced.)
One of these days, I'll stop building systems with floppy drives, but
I've got so many lying around that I keep throwing them in. Besides,
the can be awfully convenient sometimes. :-)

Margaret

Hi Margaret,
Hope you don't mind me butting in on this thread but I have the same
motherboard as you, the Epox 9NPA+Ultra. I'm also new to AMD systems. I have
an Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego, 1 Mb Corsair TwinXL 3200 memory, a couple of
PATa HDDs and an Nvidia 7800 GT OC Gfx card.
I used my Corsair RAM in my previous Pentium 4 based system at its normal
(Auto) settings, I don't overclock, without problems. I now find that my AMD
system suffers from soundloop crashes if my Corsair RAM is run at its
default settings. The only way I can keep my system stable is to reduce my
memory from 400 to 333. I'd be happy to replace the memory as I've had the
Corsair modules a couple of years. I think this is a compatibility issue
rather than duff memory but I'd very much welcome your comments on this.
I've read some quite negative reviews of Kingston memory and I note its
relatively low price. I'd be very interested in more details of your RAM
settings and experience with the Epox 9NPA+9 and the Kingston memory.
Thanks for your attention,
Ron. |

|
|
Hi Ron,
I have a matched pair of the HyperX PC3200. I'm running the latest
BIOS, just set the RAM to run at "auto," and on boot, "DDR400" is
displayed. I used this same pair in my 8RDA+, so when I ordered my
9NPA+Ultra, I went to the Kingston site to make sure it would work in my
board. The part number was on the list, so I didn't order new memory.
As this board is supposed to handle double-sided DIMMs in all four
slots, I figured I'd just order a second pair of the same HyperX PC3200
when I upgrade to 2GB down the road.
Anyway, I also have a matched pair of HyperX PC3000 (256MB each), and
one stick of 512MB Corsair XMS. I'd used all three in my 8RDA+ (running
at DDR333 of course), before I overclocked it. (That's when I upgraded
to the DDR400.) Everything worked great there too, although this HyperX
was underclocked. Never tried it without the Corsair stick, so I assume
it would run at spec.
Maybe I'm just lucky, but I've found HyperX to be great stuff. I also
like Corsair and would probably have gone with that had I bought new RAM
for this new board, as I too have heard some not good comments about
Kingston. But according to the Kingston site, the 9NPA+Ultra will use
their Value RAM. So I don't know why it's not liking the HyperX.
Re software: I installed v6.7 of the NForce4 drivers, but I didn't
install the storage drivers or the firewall, as I've heard some have had
probs with those. I'm running WinXP Pro SP2 with updates. The only
wierdness so far is that Black ICE caused random reboots, so I
uninstalled it and currently use the Windows Firewall (my LAN's behind a
router). I figured once I fine-tune my system, I'll try Black ICE
again, as it's probably conflicting with some service I haven't turned
off yet. :-)
Anyway, I hope the above provides some insight. Sorry I don't have a
magic fix for you. :-)

Margaret

Margarate,
Many thanks for your courteous and helpful reply. Although you didn't
provide a magic fix for me you did answer my question in exactly the way I
wanted. My Corsair is a 1gb pair of TwinXL 3200 Pro. These ran perfectly
well in my previous Pentium system. I don't overclock as I can buy the
performance I want. I have overclocked in my earlier and more enthusiastic
computing days but tinkering with my BIOS has lost its charms for me. I'm
far too busy plotting the downfall of Capitalism! I'm very new to AMD and
feel a trifle isolated as a non-overclocker in this unfamiliar milieu.
Anyway, I think I'll give the Kingston HyperX memory a try. Thanks again for
the friendly reply.
Ron. |

Y'welcome, Ron. It's too bad that Corsair isn't running properly in
your 9NPA+Ultra, as that's great RAM. I, too, am giving up
overclocking. Although it was great fun for a while, I found it doesn't
really save any $$, as what I don't spend on the CPU, I spend on more
expensive RAM and cooling! :-) BTW, there are a couple different
HyperX PC3200 pairs. The part number for mine is: KHX3200AK2/1G (two
512MB sticks), although the 2GB pair is supported as well. The
KHX3200ULK2/1GB pair is more expensive and more importantly, not on
Kingston's list of compatible RAM for the 9NPA+Ultra. Anyway, I got
mine at Newegg:

Isn't it capitalism that allows you to buy the performance you want?

Margaret,
I really must learn to use a keyboard rather than a joystick for my
messages. I see that I've managed to an an "e" to your name.
Ron.
P.S. I see that you're a American. If you happen to bump into George W Bush
on your travels, would you mention in passing, that his War on Tourism is
frightening the life out of us over here.
Thanks,
R. |

No problem, Ron. I'm used to most people misspelling my name, so I try
not to get my knickers in a twist over it. :-)

Heh, yes, I am an American. But I'm also 50% British, as my dad
immigrated from Scotland when he met my mom. We lived in England for
five years when I was a kid. I'd probably be living on your side of the
pond had we not moved back to the US shortly before I graduated high
school. And BTW, this war scares the hell out of me too.
