Let me know how you fare with the Asus because it looks like a nice board. I recently bought one because it had thermal protection for the CPU. Unfortunately I am in the process of RMA'ing it because it had issues with the disk drives ie failing to boot. There also appears to be some bios issues that can cause it to lock up whilst in PnP mode.

Well I got my board setup last night and so far so good with it. Only issue I ran into (which isnt the boards fault) was that XP died when I went to install it because the Promise Controller saw the old Partions that took off my old PC. I had to get Windows 2000, boot off that and delete the partions and XP then went in like a champ.

The other issue is that my ZIP 250 drive isn't working right now, but I need to do some more investanting to see if its a problem with the Motherboard or the ZIP drive. I know the IDE port works fine since I had an old 10GB drive connected to the port and was used to restore my backed up info on to the new array. It was getting late and I decied to call it a night but I'm back up and operational. I also need to fix my Lights on my computer, as I am not getting any power indicator lights on my case or HHD lights .

Oh forgot to add that the 1004 BIOS fixed the Plug and Play issue
