Yes, it crossed my mind that Asus just produced a crappy board - LOL - that is why I returned. I don't know if Sis 648 is having universal problems, but I am not completly confident that they are putting out stable chipsets. I have to give my money to the monoply, as much as I hate to. I...

The Radeon has been experiencing serious problems with 8x boards. If your Radeon 9700 pro has bios version 1.01, you can not run it stabily on a 8x board. To correct this problem, you can send it to ati and they can send you a replacment. Think twice about getting the Radeon 9700 pro, the...
