Managed to get this motherboard running with Harris 25Mhz and 60ns memory modules , it would not work with 70ns , but it only works with 2 x 1mb modules when i use 4 x1mb modules it freezes . Is there a manual for this ? What could be the problem ?

Mine is an Athlon64 3700+ (Socket 754) with 1GB RAM, an X800XT PE and Audigy2 ZS. Are there games that actually justify building such a system? I can't think of …
