I RMAed my board because it wouldn't boot (plus i knew i was going to get the GeF4) and was wondering if the only difference was the modification to the AGP slot. If there are more differences that went uncorrected with the RMA to Gigabyte, could you let me know what they are? Thanks.

The rev 2 has a 1/5 divider and it reads the on-diode temps for XP CPU's.

The Rev 1.1 also has the 1/5 divider, the only Rev not to have it is the 1.0. As masitti said the 2.0 reads temps from the cpu diode and therefore support overheat protection. The other differences are all physical in that there are extra capacitors and some that have been removed and the addition of a small surface mount resistor.

What size PSU do you have? You really need more than 300W for the XP and GF4 especially with the VRX/P mobo,but the most important thing is that the combined output of the 3.3/5v rail is greater than 180W and that the PSU is able to supply clean power.

Also what Rev do you have if it is indeed the VRX/P you have.
