BIOS / compatability issue? Will RMA's even work?

[razzamatazz111]

Anyone heard of an answer to this problem? I just completed my first build and my MoBo and Graphics card aren't playing nice.

the last post scares me...

"This issue is becoming more and more of a headache for owners of new GPUs. It is a BIOS firmware issue to say the very least. It hands around the fact that the memory BAR can't allocate resources correctly to cards calling for 256mb (for 128mb it works fine). nVidia and ASUS are aware of the issue and i'm actively putting technicians from both vendors in touch to reach a resolution - it is just sloppy coding of the BIOS really and there have been guidelines around developing BIOS code to handle this very situation since October 2006."
