Erlik, I don't have all the specs on my motherboard but this is what the receipt says 'Abit NF7-S nForce2 Athlon XP /Duron SktA DDR ATX Motherboard w/audio, LAN, Serial ATA retail' I'm gonna go look for the box. also, if I bumped a cable then I unbumped it everytime I put the old ram back in. Yep, I get the start up stuff. it just doesn't go forward to where my windows loads.
