I'm unfortunate that I bought two of those. I spend in total about two whole days to make it work and still have a non-workable system. It means that I'm looking for two new 775 main boards and looking for some good suggestions. Is there a database where I can find out which main boards work well with FC ? (I don't like to buy two new ones and have the same experience again). regards, Marcel
