You're right. I did install the Intel Chipset drivers, figuring that they would take care of issues, but someone mentioned to me it does not force of HT. Fixed it by just turning off HT when booting into 98SE and turning on when booting into XP. thanks,

I have a 9700 Pro (Sapphire Ultimate) running in a custom Gigabyte 8KNXP (Canterwood) 3.0C system. Running XP with no issues for a couple months. Added a dual-boot (via BIOS) Windows 98SE to play a couple of games. Everything is fine until I install Catalyst drivers (tried 3.2 on CD and latest...

I was nervous about sanding. I've ordering some appilques and decals. Thanks for the warning and confirmation - much appreciated.

Just finishing up a Lian-Li aquarium case with custom fans, lighting, sleeving etc. Have one nasty 1 inch scratch on acrylic window and several small scratches on aluminum. Best repair methods?

I have always like AT site and reviews better from the getgo. I will be interested in how the IC7-G rates since I was excited about it until I actually tried to use it. It just was flaky from the getgo. If only the Gigabyte 8A-KNXGP had the same rear I/O connectors as they Abit, I would think...

I kind of agree with Tom's review. I returned my Abit after it died during a BIOS flash. I was using Kingston ECC DDR400 which it did not like, had boot problems etc. I replaced it with a Gigabyte board, same memory and CPU and it was happy, even with the first BIOS. The ICG-7 has nice specs...

UPDATE: GigaRAID just was never happy with WD drives and large files copies. Bought SIG SATA adapters and both drives are happy on the SI SATA. My guess is a BIOS update will be required to fix it.

I actually have the jumpers off, they are wanting me to put cable select on - which I never use. Go figure.

I got Gigabyte on the phone and talked to them for a few minutes. They think it's a jumper setting related to single drive vs. cable select. I will try this evening.

Nope, I installed the Intel drivers as I'm running two Raptors RAID 0. They are working most excellently.

My system is up and running just fine. I have two Western Digital SE drives connected to the GigaRAID ITE Raid connectors, a 200 MB and 250 MB. I'm running in ATA mode, not RAID mode. Drives are recognized just fine, but any file copies of more than one file or more than just a few KB, and I...

PS. board was dead, got Gigabyte today, came right up with same CPU, RAM, PSU etc. BIOS flash freeze must have killed it.

Board appeared to be completely dead - tried it with just PSU, no fans, no error code. RMA to newegg.com - IC7-G is out of stock, so I'm getting a Gigabyte instead...newegg charged no restocking since I reordered from them.

I unplugged everything except fans and power connecters and bingo, it posted just fine, fixed BIOS settings. Connected floppy, still post okay, then proceed to start flash 1.1. However, either floppy disk was bad or drive defective (think it was disk) During flash it locked up with random...

I can't get into the BIOS - there's the rub :)
