Its whats put me off getting one.

Because i dont have any of that sort of memory.

you'd have thought they'd have supported one of the most trusted ram modules really.

Whats it like?? Im temped getting one running dual DDR400 and XP2500

I've been running dual Cas 2 XMS3500 dimms in my Nforce 2 board for nearly 6 months with no problems.

What I do know thou is that Twinmos memeory is a BIG NO NO with the shuttle system and on board gfx, that stuffs things up big style.

Congrats...at last

Mine's good now too...with a XP1800+ and a stick of Corsair 512MB PC2700 RAM. Solid as a rock.

Just waiting for the XP2400+ to be returned under RMA and I'll give that a whirl...

Am i right in saying that you lot with the SN41G2 are gettin 3dmark results of about 2500 ? It seems a little low , i gotta pc2700 512 mb stick , Xp2200 @ 1.73gh and running std on board everythin , with the latest Nvidia dets.

WHich 3DMark is it you're running - I'll give it a try, albeit with a lowly GF3 Ti500

2001 SE , but wiv std on board gfx

DazV

3DMark 2001 SE = 9689 for my first go (no tweaking)

Will see what I can manage with a little bit of fiddling.

Incidentally the Shuttle is running perfectly again after overcoming that BIOS bug with the RAM.

Perfect.

Model SN41G2
Having spent the last 2 weeks attempting to solve a problem with my system failing to POST I've finally tracked down the cause, and solution, which I'm publishing here to help fellow Scooby SHuttle owners. Ok here goes:

PROBLEM:
SN41G2 fails to POST (boot)

SYMPTOM
After recently changing BIOS settings, when turning my system on, all I got was the noise of the SN41G2 powering up - but no display - just a black screen. The system was failing to POST (boot) at all. 2 weeks were spent removing this, that, tweaking this, that, etc...

SOLUTION
Although the SHUTTLE website FAILS to mention it, and Overclockers were UNAWARE of it, it is, in fact, a KNOWN bug with any nforce2 based systems.

Apparently, when matched with Corsair Low-Latency RAM, specifically, TWINX3200 or XMS3200LL, the system WILL fail to POST (boot).

While Nvidia are working on a solution and indeed Asus have released a BIOS revision for their boards to addres this, SHUTTLE as yet have not. Therefore, a work-around is as follows:

- Turn system off
- Remove existing RAM
- Find some other type of RAM (not PC3200 Low Latency) & insert it.
- Follow procedure to clear CMOS (manual page27, Jumper JP1)
- Turn system on (should POST now)
- Hit DEL to enter BIOS
- Immediately without changing settings hit F10 (SAVE & EXIT)
- Let system reboot
- Turn system off
- Install your PC3200 Low Latency RAM
- Turn system on

Hey Presto - back in business.

Sorry the procedure isn't shorter, but its the best there is until the BIOS revision comes out.

Hope this saves you many wasted hours(!)

Thanks for NOT mentioning it, Si.

I guess you didn't equate SHUTTLE SN41G2 with the NFORCE2 / CORSAIR setup you pro'lly have.

DOH!

J1nxy, the problem applies only to the low-latency stuff eg. part number TWINX1024-3200LL Even then I think its only the 512MB chips.

Suffice to say I wasted far too much time trying to get the damn thing to POST. Kicking myself now for not visiting all the websites' FAQS appropriate to the components I put in, DOH!

You wouldve though bloody SHUTTLE would've at least mentioned it!
