    No way to know for sure. But both north and south bridges support Ultra V-Link. Why wouldn't they implement all 16 data lines?

    Either they locked it down to just 8 data lines for some stability issue, or they didn't implement all 16 lines.

    Hmm.. Anyone else with a VIA-based motherboard that has both options of V-Link Mode Selection and V-Link Data 2X Support in the BIOS?

    No such options available on Asus A8V...

    I know.. ANY other motherboard will do. As long as it has both BIOS options. :mrgreen:

    Let me check... I've got a couple of GigaByte boards that this sounds familiar from... Will write back if they have both.

    Any particular VIA chipset. I have Apollo LKE133, KM400, KT600

    VIA V-LINK parms

    LKE133 - not a chance... this is antique
    KM400 in GigaByte, no to both
    KT600 in Asrocks, has only the VLINK Speed as shown below.

    That's okay. Thanks for trying. :mrgreen:

    I just need a motherboard with a BIOS that has both V-Link Mode Selection and V-Link Data 2X Support.

    are you looking for something like these attached files??
    its a Asus P4V800D-X. I got it for the AGP and PCI-express slots together on the same board.

    i suppose i should restore my clock setting too while im at it lol...
    i understand you want to see modes 0-4 with data2X enabled/disabled per mode correct? also i have a V-Link 8X support option do you wish for that to be enabled or disabled...

    may i ask is this for your B.O.G. research, and do i get a brownie or something for this?lol

    i can understand why you have a hard time finding info on these settings. i had to order my MB from europe somewhere, just to get a true AGP and PCI-express slot (only 4X tho):( but i digress ill have the files up by tonight hopefully

    If possible, get me all possible combinations of the three BIOS settings. That would really help me determine whether my theories are correct. :thumb:

    Hahaha.. I will definitely give you Rep Points for this!! :mrgreen:

    Thanks!!!! :beer:

    .....90K reboots later.......
    sorry for the delay im "borrowing" my inet, tends to be unreliable at times.

    umm so here is the attached files of all possible V-Link settings available in my BIOS. the V-Link8X support is only possible on the AUTO mode setting, so i have those in there as well.

    i hope this helps your research, i have alot of questions about the V-link and SATA support. also i have yet to experience any HD data corruption as of yet......:pray:

    feel free to ban/flame or whatever you forum dwellers do, but i was curious if i could trade these mysterious "rep" points for a copy of the B.O.G.????

    i hope a .rar is ok too many files to attach...

    Rep Points & BOINC credits

    Yea, right. They'll throw in a Gutenberg Bible too.

    Get to 1000 rep points and you can trade it for the blank white page right behind the cover.

    Rep points are worth almost as much as BOINC credits.

    ;) LOL

    Thanks for your assistance, rexsven! I do hope this will help me clear up this BIOS setting once and for all. :beer:

    LOL! Unfortunately, they have no intrinsic value. Rep points merely show others what everyone here thinks of any particular forum member.

    But don't worry. You will not go unrewarded for your help. UGPM! :beer:

    im glad i could help.

    heres my master plan with the points..... First trade the "rep" points into BOINC points(whatever they are), then convert those into MYSPACE/MYSPAM friends.... THEN they will be actually worth something!!!:haha: :haha: :haha:

    Good plan.

    BOINC - a platform to use idle CPU time for something worthwhile and accumulate credits. The credits you can probably not spend at the corner store.
