Thanks Garrett,

Perhaps I was a bit unfair. Board is better now I have set the memory in sync with FSB, much more stable. It's growing on me. Glad I got the rev.2.0
Tried BF1942 last night - Much better then the old XP2100+512MbDDR2700, probably mostly because of 1Gb of memory.
But what the hell is going on with NVidia drivers, I installed the 2.45's and although NV say it doesn't use there IDE driver it still installed it. Rolled back to M$ one but I don't like that either driver required more processor utilisation. Prefered the VIA chipset and 4 in 1 drivers.

I know there is a lot more to get from this board once I start tweaking, and a lot of people Increase the FSB and lower then mult without probs.

Early days, i'll let it bed in first, so I know what Stable really is.

Cheers.

BIOS settings are really critical with this board...
You might want to check out this post : http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=101934 (sorry bout it being on a different forum). The BIOS is very picky. That post is just an example of how squirrley the BIOS can be.


Regarding the drivers thing, Asus for some reason made their drivers custom for their boards. I don't think standard nVidia drivers will work on this board.

Good luck,
G
