So you think it's a good choice?
Long story short, for some reason the chipset drivers and other "features" of the 965-s3 have been nothing but a headache. For the past month I have been battling my harddrives not being recognized, then being recognized on the next boot, then the sound card drive not loading, then loading the next time, etc. so I checked if it was the RAM, it wasn't, checked if it was the OC, it wasn't checked everything. It does this only in XP, but not in Vista, as I guess they spent more time on preparing the Vista drivers?
Anyway, I'm planning on ordering the ASUS P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP on Saturday, Lord willing, and then I'll be sending in this headache, otherwise known as the Gigabyte 965p-S3.
So anything I should know before ordering this mobo? Any cons?
Over the Christmas break, I have installed Windows 4 times, trying different things.
