a) ASUS board, b) no "sticky" on snapshot.
Some chipsets are quite tolerant of all this nonsense, and then I don't feel like I'm going out on a limb - with the A7N8X family, at FSB400/DDR400, that tolerance to crap ram is not there. YMMV. You may have noticed that in all of my posts so far, no CAS2.5 memory got mentioned. When I was doing my testing,

Mac's vs. PC's
My Asus Nforce2 Deluxe board seems perfectly fine - the refurb. It was only $69 - $79 though now at Newegg - seems like an awesome board - has everything - sata/raid, two lan connections, sound 5.1 , etc etc Even has a connection for a modem though Im not sure if its built in to all boards or not.

You obviously got my attention enough to go through the trouble of trying to find a problem with my 7VAX. And actually it was about data coruption with or without certain sound cards.

The OEM version of the 5.1 and value versions is still carried by many online and offline stores. Considering that you sprang for the AWE64 Gold way back when, you probably want something better, but sound quality should be similar to what you got out of the AWE64 Gold. If you want something with better sound

NF7-S (nForce Ultra 400): What is the highest FSB possible ...
I guess some in the overclocking crowd appear to like an nForce2 by Epox but I'm not that interested in that. If I were to buy a mobo today, I'd go with the Asus A7N8X I then got the Soyo 5-EMA based on the VIA-MVP3 chipset (for some weird reason is relabeled as ETEQ) which has worked OK for the most part.
