I just got this board (rev 1.1) along with an Athlon XP Barton 2500+ AQXEA and one 512MB stick of Corsair PC3200 XMS. I have updated the bios to the latest version 3.09 7/18/2003. I am running basically the default settings except for memory timings of 6-2-2-2.
Once I updated the bios, the user guide becomes useless becuase they changed so much that you can't reference it. I had problems getting windows to boot as well after i set the APIC to disabled, which it classifies as the default. Also, after the problems, my display reset to 800x600 with 4-bit colors, and it wouldn't let me change them back! I had to reinstall the nvidia drivers so that it would work.
I can't tweak this damn board without causing problems, and I don't know why. This coard is supposed to be one of the best for the job, but I am having troubles. If anyone has any insight into this please help.
