---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment
I tested it before it behaved the same way i have an extra ps to test so i
will test and post back ...

I'm starting to read news about alot of other people having problems with
these boards (in bios the voltages all where reported correctly) i also read
do not try to run board with 4x ddr2's you will have problems... /sigh ( so
currently ive went through the normal run around of discounting and seeing
if i get further and ive tried 1x ddr2 memory only but i think the boards
all ready gone at this point )

asus was speedy about sending this out (2weeks) but they never sent me an
email i just got a box at my door. with a single sheet of paper that didnt
really have any info i never found out what happened to the old board.
