I'm having trouble getting the onboard LAN to work.
In the bios there is no option to enable or disable the onboard LAN, only the option of smartlan.

Any ideas as to what the problem is?

Have you installed the correct realtek lan driver?

i installed the most recent one listed on the gigabyte website..... "motherboard_driver_lan_realtek_8111" is the file on my computer......is that the correct one?

Run Windows Update. It was updated like 3 times the last month.

• i try to have HyperX running at 1066 with all 4Gbs Installed!
  something with the NB voltage?
  with the ddr2 voltage?
  what about the proper Timmings?

Who is going to Answer me???

all tests was leading to resets...

Gauvenator: i cant give you like that all the Bios "best " settings, i have to open my Bios page per page and write them down...so it will take some time, but i am sure my setting are stable and correct, so i can share them with you.i will replay later in the day again with the Detail settings for GA-P35-DS3x rev x.x .

EDIT: 8gbytes of ram in a GA-P35-DS3 rev2.1 may apear a little less if you use VGA with more than 512 ram i think.....not so sure yet, but i will check to see if there is a "hall enabled" in the bios that will let you see all the 8Gbytes installed. the one i have tested was using a 128ram vga and all 8gb where 1066 running at 800mhz! thats normal but you can overcloack them, as i am trying to do my 1066 that are 4gbytes 4x1gb and i try to make them work to 1066 from 800default! its possible i am close.
Remeber for more than 3Gbyte to be purly usable and recognisable by the OS you need X64 OS like Windows XP pro x64 NOT x86 32bit has to end some time soon....thats enought!

You don't have to write down all you configured settings pertaining to your overclock, I was just wondering if there are any features specific to this board I should disable.

if you were talking to me.......i've updated and i've still got nothing.......

could it be in the bios i'm using? i installed a cheap network card from walmart and it functions fine but still no sign of a onboard network adapter or setting for it in the bios

I've been running an e8400 with this board and 4gb of Patriot PC2-6400LLK memory, all at stock speeds and now that all is stable I'd like some help OCing my RAM to 1066 and the cpu to 3.6Ghz. The memory is PC6400 (800Mhz) and I'd like to get it up to 1066Mhz speed.

Could someone please recommend timings and settings for the RAM and CPU please. Thanks in advance.

If it was the one on Gigabyte's site then it's the right one.

If you want to hit 3.6GHz, all you need to do is leave the multi at 9x for the CPU and change your FSB to 400. That will give you a 1:1 ratio. I have my E8400 at 3.6GHz stable with a 1.225 volt for CPU and not changing any other volts. Aside from the RAM, but that is for the 4-4-4-12 timings. You will have to go over 400 FSB for 1066 RAM OC.

Thanks you for the help, I will be doing/testing this shortly. Is there much difference system performance-wise by OCing the ram from 800-1066?, or should I not bother.

I didn't see any difference with overclocking the ram. I would do the processor first, you could probably get 4.0Ghz on it. My FSB is @ 445, voltage @ 1.300.
