i have recently upgraded my motherboard from an intel 865 chipset to an ATI rx330 chipset
reason being i accidently snapped a pin on my old cpu, bought replacement cpu, stupid old motherboard does take prescott cpu's but not above 3 ghz, making that support pointless to me, so bought the only motherboad i could find for under £50 that seemingly matched the performace of the intel 865, and it has raid support don't have 2 drives but still, its nice to know :p
anyway, i've had problems before with reactos, i used the latest nightly build as of 18 march, and it wouldn't detect the drive, which i find odd, as my trusty dos boot disk finds the sata drive (its set to ide in the bios, can only set it to the sata controller for raid as far as i can tell) on my old motherboard it would install, but wouldn't boot
windows xp installed without needing a special disk, and as i said dos boot disk reads the drive fine, i even found an old win98 cd, booted up with the cd and that found the drive.
i haven't really played around with it, i'm more curious to if anyone knew why there are issues with sata even tho its supposed to be 100% compatable, the live cd doesn't pick it up either, runs much faster than i remember tho!
p.s. is it possible to have a pin put onto a cpu?
ATI RX330

Re: ATI RX330
Look up the pin-out diagram for this CPU. If the broken-off pin is a ground pin, chances are that the CPU will work fine, as these are non-critical pins (just don't break off too many of them ).Stead wrote: p.s. is it possible to have a pin put onto a cpu?
If it's the same socket, then it should be the same... theoreticallyStead wrote:hrmm, says its a signal pin, but the same pin in the prescott is for grounding, tad confused, would of thought they would of been the same
Anything can be sold on eBay ^_-thanks anyway! wonder if i can sell it on ebay :p
