This is one of these good news/bad news things. You CAN cange the boot letter assignment under xp: http://www.anandtech.com/guides/viewfaq.html?i=108 If I read your OP properly, this is NOT a good idea in this case. If your initial XP install always saw the Boot drive as H:, I would not try...

Exactly. No problems. I have this board with a Northy 2.66b and Corsair XMS 3200 with no issues. By the time I'm done with the overclock and mem ratios, it is running almost 400 anyway. 2x 256 XMS 3200 would run 2-2-2-5, but for 2x 512 XMS 3200 I had to back down to 2-3-3-6. Ramguy from...
