volgens mij niet, ik heb de meeste instellingen standaard gelaten.
waar moet ik hem op instellen?
Ik heb agp aperture size op 265 mb gezet.
agp fastwrite staat uit.
Als ik die videdriver wil installeren, dan zegt ie:
This display driver is not compatible with ur hardware.
dit zijn de goede bios instellingen
alleen de geheugen instellingen zijn afhankelijk van de kwaliteit van je geheugen

For Power User in Memory Setting (ofcourse if your DDR is of excellent quality): go to "Advanced Chipset Features" in bios menu. Goto "DRAM Clock/Drive Control" and set these options (page 4-8 in manual):
1) System Performance: Turbo
2) DRAM Clock: 133 Mhz
3) DRAM Timing: Manual
4) SDRAM Cycle Length: 2
5) Bank Interleave: 4 Bank
6) DRAM Burst Lenght: 8 --> Not stated in manual. This option only available with bios 8khi1a17 (10/17/2001) and 8khi1b02 (11/02/2001) and above. try to set this to 8 and bench and set to 4 and bench again. Set to the highest bench results.
7) DRAM PreChrg to Act CMD: 2T
DRAM Act tp PreChrg CMD: 6T --> there's no significant increase in performance when setting to 5T. Setting to 5T for a long time can cause data corruption and hard disk failure in the long run !!! Just beware & remember !!!
9) DRAM Active to CMD: 2T
10) DRAM Queue Depth: 4 Level
11) DRAM Drive Strength: Auto (Default Auto is 4)
12) DRAM Command Rate: 1T
13) DCLKI/O Timing: Leave it at default setting (My default is 0ns)
14) Fast R-W Turn Around: Enabled
15) Continuos DRAM Request: Enabled
If your DDR at default 133MHz (Non Overclocked) just cannot handle those settings above, I would say that your DDR is of BAD Quality. Replace it ASAP if you are a Power User. To get it work at Overclocked setting is another story. Get decent DDR such as 1x256MB Mushkin High Performance DDR PC2100, 1x256MB Crucial DDR PC2100, or 1x256MB Corsair XMS2400 CL2. Get unbuffered, unregistered, Non ECC DDR. This board does not support ECC DDR. The cheapest but have excellent performance is Crucial. It's using the same Micron chips as Corsair. My Corsair and Crucial can do FSB 166Mhz at CAS 2-2-2-6-8-1T, but Crucial is a lot cheaper. I haven't got a chance to use Mushkin High Performance DDR, yet.
In the "Frequency/Voltage Control" (page 4-25 in manual) set these values:
1) Auto Detect DIMM/PCI Clk: Enabled --> this will reduce EMI interferences by automatically disabling the clock source for unoccupied DIMM socket and PCI slot.
2) Spread Spectrum: Disable
3) CPU Clock: 133
4) CPU Ratio: depends on your processor for unlocked multiplier. Athlon XP by default is locked in the L1 cache multiplier.
5) CPU VCore Voltage: For Overclocking set it to +0.10 Volt. Total Max = 1.85 Volt
6. VDIMM Voltage: Default is +0.10 for total of 2.60 Volt. When overclocking, you would raise this to +0.20 to 0.30 Volt for total 2.70 and 2.80 Volt. My Crucial and Corsair can go at 166MHz FSB when setting this to +0.70 Volt (Total 3.20 Volt). Some DDR like Mushkin just cannot handle VDIMM above 2.8 Volt. Crucial and Corsair are able to cope above 2.8 Volt. But the safest VDIMM is about 2.80 to 2.90 Volt Max for longer period of usage!!!
Regarding the AC97 audio & Midi & gameport, to disable them do this in bios menu (page 4-12 to 4-15 in manual):
1) In bios menu, goto "Integrated Peripherals"
2) Goto "VIA OnChip PCI Device" , then set the "VIA-3058 AC97 Audio" to Disabled
3) In "Integrated Peripherals" goto "Super IO Device". Select and set to DISABLED this: "Game Port Address" , "Midi Port Address" . This will save you a free IRQ to use on other device. Disable these options because you would use Game Port and Midi Port on your PCI Soundcard and NOT on the Onboard one.
For better & less CPU usage when printing (page 4-14 to 4-15 in manual), goto "Integrated Peripherals" and goto "Super IO Device". Goto "Parallel Port Mode" and set to ECP+EPP. Goto "EPP Mode Select" and set it to EPP1.9
Because today's Graphic Cards like GeForce is so advanced, you do not need to enable any AGP RAM Cacheable. So, it's better to DISABLE this settings: Video Bios Shadow, AGP RAM Cacheable, and System Bios Cacheable. These three settings are to be disabled also during flashing bios !!! IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE IN 3D OR OPEN GL APPLICATION WHEN USING GeForce CARDS, SET THE AGP APERTURE SIZE TO 128MB WILL ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM
If you fresh install Win XP with ACPI ENABLED, make sure that in bios menu (page 4-17 in manual), in "Power Management Setup" , the "ACPI Function" is set to Enabled. Set the "Modem Use IRQ" to N/A (default is 3) because you are not using any onboard/internal modem, unless you are suing one. Unlike my Asus A7V133 and Iwill KK266-R (VIA KT133A chipsets) that automatically set IRQ to 9 (sharing with ACPI function) when installing Windows 2000 or Win XP (by default) with ACPI Enabled, this Epox 8KHA+ (also with Soyo Dragon Plus or any other VIA KT266A chipsets mobo) automatically set IRQ to its own IRQ settings that have been set in bios menu. This is nice features, as IRQs are no longer shared !!! I suggest you fresh install Win XP by default setting, with ACPI Enabled.
There are so many options in the bios for Power User / Tweaking, more options than in Asus CUSL2 bios. If you are just upgrading from CUSL2, you will "feel" a lot faster and more speed when using this Epox 8KHA+. Finally, don't forget to visit the Windows Update after fresh installing your Win XP, cause there are many improvements to get there.
