G400 Max with Soyo mobo's

[BreadFan]

OK people, i just ordered the new Soyo 6BA+ IV motherboard. Does anyone have this particular mobo or has anyone heard of any issues the board has with the G400? If there are issues, I still have time to cancel the order so if anyone has heard of anything, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your time.

Hey there,

I don't have the IV just the III and some small problems that were easily fixed by tweaking the MB BIOS settings:

What seems to have worked for me was setting the AGP memory to 256 and the CAS Latency to 3.

Unfortunately I have no way of knowing what the ATA/66 controller is going to add to the mix.

Good luck.

I run the G400 MAX fine on my 6BA+ rev III board. RAM's rated to CAS2 at 125Mhz, so running it at 120's not a problem. I too have my apeture to 256MB.

Just my $0.02
