just ordered mine too! looks AWESOME, just wish it had 200fsb....but oh well, my next upgrade will be a athlon64, not a 400fsb athlonxp
im moving from a sn41g2 that is TOO hot and TOO loud, what i really hate about shuttles is:
no back panel spidif
the agp port is on the left of the board, not right of the pci slots, as per the norm in atx mobos. this causes my radeon9600 passive cool to not get the airflow it needs(too close to side of the case)
no room in the case for anything!!!
i did like the look of it, but i like the look of the 200n from the pictures on their website EVEN better....just waiting to see it in person...
i just hope this board is stable, what have you guys seen with it?

Couldn't agree more. Best machine I have every had:
Barton 2500+
512MB (2x256) Samsung DDR 333 (2-2-2-6-1T)
160GB Samsung HD w/ 8MB cache
Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro Ultimate
Machine is very fast, very stable, very cool. Not one crash yet and I've been tortured testing it!

Let us know what you think.
I'm wondering, is a 200 FSB setting possible on the iDEQ if you use an AGP card? Or is the only reason that you're hitting 200 FSB because you don't have any AGP or PCI cards? I'd think the AGP and PCI would be locked to their bus speeds... but I think I heard otherwise. Why don't motherboard manufacturers do that? |

There's an option in the bios to lock the agp to a specific speed or to use AUTO. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. I'll test it when I get another vid card.

I have a shuttle sn41g2 @ home and a 200n @ work.... I wish it was reversed. The 200n is much quieter and runs cooler. The are setup the same with a 2600+ and an ati 9600 pro 128mb. |

Is there a way to lock the PCI as well? If not, it sounds like the PCI speed would be way out of spec if the FSB is at 200. *edit* what I meant to say is: it's cool that you can lock the AGP, so having an AGP card and running at 200 FSB sounds possible, but now I'm wondering if you have to sacrifice your PCI slot to make it work. Let me know, thanks! |
