And moving the card to PCI slot 4 solved both problems. Thanks NewB.
FYI the 1.06q BIOS can be downloaded from the review page here, if you can't get it PM me and i'll e-mail it.
Hummm...So here's some problems i can't fix with the Aopen.
1st: Cpu usage is always at 30-40%, regardless of what bios is used.
2nd: Mem scores in sandra with the 1.06q BIOS are at 1920/1920. I never tried sandra mem with any of the other BIOS so thats next(should be around 3050)
Havn't tried the asus yet, but I have spent a good amount of time with the MSI K8T NEO and the AOpen MK86-L. In comparing the 2 the Aopen is easily the best by design. Better VRM and higher quality mosfets, better tracing. Of the 3 K8T's I had they were also fairly picky of what ram was used...
What they wanted to do seemed kinda goofy to me, thats why i asked :)
The company wanted $1500 to do what i listed above.
I'm going to look into different routers including those you all spoke of and see if I can't do it myself for them. Should be cheaper and keep some kind of simplicity.
Here's whats in place already.....a file server running netware and 7 PC's connected to that running winXP or 2k.
And here's what a compnay proposed to do........Internet would come in via cable modem to a new internet server running XP/ICS with zone alarm, then to a hub and out to 4 of the 7...
A division of fujitsu(FMI) used to make them, I don't know if they still do or not. Past experience with them has been good, they are decent quality. I don't know much about thier current line so i can't compare them to anything.
I need to upgrade and build a few PC's in a small office, all the machines currently use win98 and i had wanted to put XP on them all and also update netware. After reading this post I had wonderd if i could purchase 1 XP cd and buy COA/license's for the rest, using the one CD? Would that work...
I think one reason people heard so many bad things about them is because(as stated earlier) so many people bought one. It had to have been in the top 3 for best selling athlon board last year retail wise, and was #1 in the OEM channel in asia(don't know about the U.S). Plenty got around.
