Just dicking around and having some fun, Seem have hit a wall here

New BIOS is cool but will take some getting used to. Alot slower than conventional to set up and find shit

Tommorow will be installing an XP partition to run some real 2D numbers

I am liking this Sandy Bridge deal so far

Lost a Win 7 install last night, coupled with the problems of installing win XP.
Talked it over with Asus once again and they are saying now it is in fact a defective chipset but would not elaborate on how wide spread this is. They advised me to send it back.

Board going back for a refund, RMA approved, I will wait and see what happens for a while, when it works it is great but that is not 100% of the time. I think once they get this right it will be a great gaming platform IMHO

Sandy Bridge part 2 still to come

(((Do not buy this board under any circumstances)))
