hey i have the same mobo and a 8800GT which is PCI-E 2.0 and no problems at all. Generally there are no issues with the new 2.0 cards, so you should be alright

ya i know benchmarks arent the greatest, but they do give an idea of where you should be. Im not new to the scene of overclocking, but my head spins trying to figure out how the hell to tweak my computer now. Cryis runs but slowly and the sound is extremly choppy. but i have seen and heard guys with the same type of setup run alright with no choppiness. I need to figure out the FSB/HTT and ram tweaks.

well good news. After playing around, I was able to get all 4 sticks to work. I believe the 2x256mb are in the yellow slots and the 2x512mb are in the orange. So now it works. Now time to tweak as best as possible because as new as the video card is (8800GT) my 3dmark scores suck compared to people with the same sort of setup as me

hey guys, I just bought an NF4 Ultra D and I have some questions concerning the ram. I have 3x mixed 512MB sticks. Only 2 sticks work in the board. I understand that. My wife has a Dell computer with 2x 256MB DDR sticks. I, for the life of me cant figure out why I cant get beyond 1GB for ram. I installed my 2x 512MB sticks (not matched at all) and then I put my wifes 2x 256MB sticks (matched I believe, same make and model) and the motherboard just does a long beep. But as soon as I take out the 2x 256MB, everything is fine again. Im on a very tight budget, so getting 2x1GB dual channel memory is out of the question for the time, but how do I go about configuring this. The 2x 512MB are double sided and the 2x 256MB are single sided if that matters at all. How would I go about doing this configuration? (sometimes i wish my asrock dual 2 didnt die, as it allowed me to use all 3x 512MB sticks with no problems) System specs DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra D AMD Athlon 64 3500+ @ 2.53Ghz 2x 512MB ram (mixed) XFX 8800GT 512MB 2x Maxtor 250GB IDE drives 40GB WD IDE LG Dvd Burner (dont remember the model) Dell 2005FPW monitor
