I pickied up a couple of these, at different locations. The first one purchased rang up correctly, but the second, a few days later and at a different store, rang up for $29.97. Still had the receipt for the first one purchased, so they priced matched their own sale. ;)
These work great...
Are you running the nVidia version of the 6.66 driver pac or the Asus version? Reason I'm asking is that Asus has appearantely modified the nVidia driver pack to ultimately correct some issues with the Sli Deluxe raid performance when coupled with some of the newer bios. If you note the Asus...
This is screwy--but according to Asus, you need to be running the 6.65 driver pack from Asus if you are using XP. Seems Asus goofed and have specific driver versions for XP and W2K, when updating to any of the newer bios.
First thing I'd check is to see how the front panel audio is jumpered from the factory. MSI has been known to send boards out configured for front panel by default, where the sound from any speakers connected to main rear outputs is distorted until the jumpering is corrected.
I'm running a raid 0 array and haven't had a lick of trouble with the nv 6.66 drivers. That's why I asked. ;) Appearantly I shouldn't be using the nv 6.66 (according to Asus), but should be using the Asus 6.65 driver pack.
I noted the warning @ Asus Downloads. I don't completely understand it though. nVidia has driver package 6.66 for NF4 (for Win XP & W2K), currently available for dl. How does the Asus warning impact these nv drivers?
The Neo 4 Platinum Sli leaves very little room between the pci-e slots for after market cooling solutions. However, the onboard sound of the MSI offering is much better than the standard ACL850 of the Asus board.
