Anyone have bad experiences with the Asus CUSL2-C?

[acts837]

I bought a new CUSL2-C but haven't installed yet. I have been reading the threads on www.cusl2c.com and have read several posts about trouble with this board. Specifically, cold boot problems. I am almost considering sending back for an Abit SA6. All of my past boards have been Abit and I am confident with their stability.

I built a system for Cyan here using that board. No problems and went straight to 146 fsb w/o problems. (he only wanted to break a gig htz with a 933)

I can also say that's a favorite around these here boards.....very popular and good reviews. It's going to be my next board if I don't build an AMD system next.

Not one problem at all. Ran great from the start with my PIII700E (thanks Skip) @ 1.05ghz. 20.5G 7200rpm WD, SB Live, 3com 10/100.....Mushkin PC-150 HSDRAM.

What is the "bad" BIOS?

The bad one is the 1001 or 1001a. They are shipped with the 1003 now. At least mine was. I have had NO probs whth this mobo that everyone else seems to have. I was able to OC it up to 1120 stable. I could have gone more, but Norton sees a bad memory address with my RAM.

I have the CUSL2 and the CUSL2-C, and have no cold boot probs at all. On the regular one I have a 700E@933, v1.85, and on the C, I have a C566@850 on v1.7. They boot to the default voltage I have set in the BIOS everytime.
