    I've got an Asus A7A266 MB, and I'm using a CF636 Parallel LCD (was testing to see if I like having LCD before buying expensive MO), but for some reason, LCD center won't register any of the MB sensors (temps, fans, registers CPU speed).... any trick or any particular reason why it might not be?? Any help with getting it to work??? ICQ or email if you can.. or AIM, or yahoo or MSN

    LCDCenter hasn't been updated in a while, and peeps are reporting your problem when using MBM 5.1 or greater. It works with MBM 5.08 for me.

    But LCD Smartie is much much better.

    Working finw with MBM 5.1.0.2 for me. It hasn't been updated in a while, but it seems to work for me. Do you get other stuff out of LCDCenter? eg straight text?

    Well smartie may report your info right but it like to hog my cpu and memory :(

    I've heard of a few conflicts causing problem with mbm in lcd center - have you tried ntot using quite so many sensors etc. and playing?I'm using 5.1.0.1 and it works ok.

    LCDC is by far the best lcd software you can get.. but it's doesn't work with // lcd's and may never (though it may) :( Cross your fingers and hope ;)

    Cheers,

    LCDC does hog a bit of memory if you go into the configuration/screenbuilder (can't work our why it aint releasing the memory) but once setup if you quite and run again (or use autostart etc.) it should only run in about 5.5mb of ram although this will probably go up by the time ver 1 arrives...

    Hi special [k]!

    My Celery 1000 get reported as 1000 through 1004, and it flips around rather rapidly. It's extra bizarre. That last digit just keeps twitching.

    Its usual, as WCPUID gives an exact FSB, rather than a bios FSB, which is rounded. FSB doesnt stay stagnent, even though you would think it would... it is always around the value you set it to +/- 0.5Mhz normally, so a little extra CPU speed is gained.... :)

    Hence the reading being slightly off

    Asus also stock overclocks a tiny bit... as I've come to find out (P3B-F reporting 453MHz... A7A266 reporting 1210MHz... go figure...)
