thanks. in fact, I didn't install any driver for that. It's on windows XP sp 2, the driver that came with the device (in cd) state that it's for win 2000 (sp1, sp2) and mac os 9.x. So I thought no necessary for driver installation on win xp.

Hi, I use a Transcend multicard reader to read my SD card. Sometimes the card is detected sometimes not. Why is that?? system: mobo: Asus P5Q Pro proc: intel E7500 psu: Corsair VX450 Thanks.

Thanks. I am about to get a new mobo now, I was just thinking it would be nice if it can host a coming USB 3.0.

Today mobo doesn't have the short coming USB 3.0 connector. It will need expansion card to have it. Do you think the PCIexpress x1 slot on today mobos is sufficient for USB 3.0 bandwidth?

To all owners of Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H, I read some reviews that this mobo having problem waking from standby/sleep (S3). Do you experience the same problem? Whether you do or not, I would appreciate it. thanks.

Can mobo with intel socket B use current intel cpu (LGA 775 cpu, like E2180, E7200, etc) ? Thanks.

asus p5q series (p5q pro especially) : Does anyone know whether asus epu-6 energy saving is hardware based (with chip?) or merely software based ? thanks.

Does your eSata (via bracket) support hot-plug ? have you tried it ?

I read somewhere (here) the new AMD 790FX chipset only consumes 8W, 3W at idle. I wonder how much wattage does intel P35 consume ? Thanks.

Thanks for replying. I don't have this mobo yet. I like the features of this mobo, but since this issue is vital for me I have to look elsewhere. Has anyone ever tried it ?

I read in the manual (GA P35 DS4) : When the second PCI Express x16 slot (PCIE_16_2) is in use, the three PCI Express x1 slots become unavailable. If I populate the PCIE_16_2 with a x1 card (NOT VGA card), can I still get the three PCIex1 slots available ??? Thank you in advance.

Is the eSATA from the rear-bracket hot-swappable ?

thanks. What I am not sure is, will this kind of "eSATA" able to hot-plug/hot-swap ?

For IP35-E (and other non-eSATA mobo) : Can I have eSATA that extended (to rear-bracket) from internal SATA ? Will it work exactly like a 'real' eSATA ? Thanks.

Which one is a better sound (for music listening) : 1. realtek ALC882D 2. soundmax AD1988B I'm not quite familiar with the spec/technical terms, especially the decibel thing. Or perhaps somebody has personal experience ? Thanks. FYI : realtek ALC882D is on ABIT AB9 Pro...
