RE: USB Controller list in Device Manager

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

We’re getting into an area where I don’t know the nuts and bolts, but with
logic and your help, I’m learning. If it has screws, plugs and knobs, I’m all
over it otherwise.

I’m not a big fan of hot fixes either for similar reasons. I looked at the
USBMan website info but I didn’t try anything there yet as none of the PCI
slots seem to be working correctly at this point so the problem seems bigger
than the SiS 7001.

Everest recognizes both the onboard SiS USB and the NEC USB card for what
they are as far as I can tell though I’m far from being an expert. The video
card (Gigabyte GeForce FX 5200) shows up correctly as well. The audio card
(Echo Mia) is another story altogether as Microsoft would have no data for
that one. It shows up as Multimedia Controller [NoDB]. I’ll try a reinstall
on that one later.

As far as the CPU chip goes, I’m guessing that the folks who assembled the
mobo only had 3.4GHz chips on hand. The board is designed to run at 2.8GHz,
800MHz FSB with a Prescott chip, hence the discrepancy. Clock info from CPU-Z
and Everest as follows:

Per CPU-Z
CPU core speed 2806.5 Mhz
Multiplier 14.0
Bus Speed 200.5 MHz
Rated FSB 801.8 MHz

Per Everest:
CPU Clock: floats around 2804.65 to 2808.13 MHz
Multiplier: 14.0
FSB: 200.33 to 200.58 MHz
Memory bus same as FSB

Seems to me not too far off the mark.

The Award BIOS date is 12/28/04 and the version number matches the last one
released by Foxconn though their website says it was released in 2007. Go
figure. I’m reluctant to use a third party update - I’ve seen those royally
hose up a machine.
BIOS SuperSpeed set at 200 MHz (allowable range 200 – 232).
On the Frequency/Voltage Control page, items listed are as follows:
Auto Detect DIMM/PCI Clk: Enabled
Spread Spectrum: Disabled
CPU DRAM Frequency: SPD

I haven’t found anything that specifically states at what speed the PCI bus
is running. AGP must be OK, otherwise I probably wouldn’t be able to see what
I’m typing.

The installed memory is currently now 2GB PC-3200 400 MHz; was 1GB 400 MHz
when I started this thread.

What’s next?

Thanks.
