Well I just got done installing a bit of new hardware on my computer today. I added in the MAX of course,adaptec 2902a SCSI card with a 2X CD burner, A Diamond SupraMax 56K modem and a floppy drive since mine gave up the ghost many months ago 
.
As for problems with the MAX, there are none so far! only minor problem I've run into is that in the tech demo the screen goes black when i try to increase the res on it.
After reading the problems with the G400 and abit boards I was preparded for the worse. I did a check of the card with PCI list and I'm running AGP2X with no problems.
I did a quick run through of a couple games I got and no problems with Dungen Keeper2, the expendable demo, Quake 3 Area test (after reinstall since it was looking for the 3dfx driver), and the USAF demo. I nearly s*** a brick playing USAF at 1600x1200....it ran great!
Worse part of the total install- the SB live! card wanted to share the IRQ with the modem and my computer choaked on that. The solution was to move them away from each other and they finally when to IRQ 5 and 3 repestivly.
One last thing. Does the rainbow runner take up an IRQ at all? I had a G200 Marvel before and I want to get a rainbow runner for the G400. It has two places to go in my PC..next to the SB live or next to the max.
