SD37P2
How do I identify the version of my SD37P2?
There are two versions of the SD37P2, V1 and V2. If you are not sure which version you purchased, please proceed as below to identify the version.
Why won't my SD37P2 support some of ATI's video cards?
The SD37P2 has two PCI-E slots. The PCI-E 16x bandwidth will be halved to 8x speed on each slot. If your video card only supports 16x speed, it will not run on this system. Please check your video card specifications or contact your video card vendor for detailed information.
Does my SD37P2 support four DIMMs of DDR2-667 memory?
Yes, it does. Should it however turn out that it won't run stable, the system will automatically clock down the memory to 533 MHz to stabilise.
Why does my SD37P2 run unstable when I install Adobe Premiere Elements?
This is because Adobe Premiere Elements has compatibility issues with the Realtek audio driver. A new Realtek driver will help. Please update to version R1.35 (Download). For more information, please also visit Adobe.
How to get the best use of SD37P2 in Dual Channel mode and what aspects should be pay attention to?
To enable your SD37P2 memory DDR2 with Dual Channel, please refer to the steps below.
- Please make sure to put the same memory DDR2 in the same color slot. (If putting memories into the different color slots, XPC will run in a Single Channel Mode.)
- If the memories have been set up successfully, the function of Dual Channel will be detected and will also show the message on the screen while XPC is starting. Thus the function of Dual Channel would be normally operated.
- If memories DDR2 set on the different color memory slots, it doesn't show “Dual Channel Mode enables” on the screen. And it will be a Single Channel Mode only.
Why my DDRII 800 only show DDRII 667 at POST screen?
According to Intel's SPEC for chipset 975X, it can only support up to 2 DDRII 800. If your memory modules show DDR667, you will adjust the frequency speed by manually in the BIOS. You may follow below instruction for setup.
- Boot Into BIOS, and select the Frequency/Voltage Control
- DRAM Timing Selectable selects the Manual
- System Memory Frequency select to 800MHz
- Press F10 key save to CMOS and EXIT
- Check the post screen is DDRII 800
