Cooler: Stock Intel
Memory: Kingston HyperX 1GB (2x512MB) DDR PC3200 ( KHX3200K2/1G) CAS2.0 Dual Channel Kit
Video: Asus V9520VS GeForce FX 5200 VideoSuite 128MB
Case: Antec Sonata Piano Black Quiet Case (380w)
Power supply: 380w Antec True
CD Writer: AOpen COM4824 48x/24x/48x/16x CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive - Retail
DVD Writer:
Floppy: Teac 3.5" Floppy Disk Drive - OEM
HDD 1: Seagate Barracuda Serial ATA V 120GB - OEM (Connected to SATA-1)
HDD 2:
Sound: M-Audio Delta 1010 & breakout box
LAN:
SCSI adapter:
Video capture:
Keyboard: Genius basic
Mouse: Creative optical

Other:
HARDWARE Connections:
PCI slots: 1=empty, 2=empty, 3=empty, 4=empty, 5=M-Audio Delta 1010
Pri IDE: CD (set to master)
Sec IDE: n/c
SATA1: Seagate 120
SATA2: n/c
SATA RAID1: n/c
SATA RAID2: n/c
Pri RAID: n/c
Fans: PSU fan connected to "Fan Only" connector. CPU fan to m/board connector.
BIOS Setup:
Version 10.11 (not upgraded, board came with this version).
Disabled: On board sound, LAN, serial ports, parallel port.
RAM set to 2-2-2-6 @ 2.75v.
FSB set to 212.
SOFTWARE Setup:
Primary 20Gb FAT32 partition on only SATA drive for Win XP Home.
PURPOSE:
Digital Audio Workstation (running Cubase SX).
COMMENTS:
I'm extremely happy with the performance now I have a stable system, but was very concerned with the
memtest freezing/USB problems. Also seem to be getting differing numbers of beeps at POST - usually 1 or 2
"normal" pitch beeps. Prevously with the bad RAM, was getting alternate low/high beeps (matched number of USB devices).
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
1. Originally had problems installing XP Home, had corrupted files being copied, and also random BSOD.
Diagnosed this as bad RAM, memtest reported thousands of errors with original TwinMOS double sided 512 sticks.
System completely unstable with dual TwinMOS DIMMS, but ran OK on the one 512 stick with least errors.
2. Replaced RAM with KHX3200K2/1G. Ran memtest, which froze randomly. Disabled Legacy USB support in BIOS,
and memtest ran fine.
3. Had one BSOD in XP (STOP 0x...D1 / IRQ_LESS_NOT_EQUAL) - under Sytem/Hardware Devices, the
PCI to USB Bridge was installed as "Standard". Downloaded latest Intel drivers, updated driver, and so far so good!
