I couldnt get mine to work... put in my old one and it worked just fine... any suggestions for onboard though? (I installed the drivers from the CD, I enabled it in Bios and in Device Manager)

I had a problem with mine on my KT266A based board. I downloaded the new drivers from VIA and it fixed the problem. The ones that were on the CD didnt work for me either. I have a Soyo Dragon, but underneath it all, its still a VIA.

you have to install service pack 1 first if you're running winXP

I would feel certain there are new drivers available. If I were you, I'd use VIA's Hyperion drivers above Epox's included ones. I believe the latest Hyperion drivers are 4.46.

Use VIA drivers on an nforce2 board? Somehow that doesn't seem like such a good idea to me

You might have to enter your MAC address in BIOS settings. You'll find it on the sticker on your fourth PCI slot.
