I have a 5600 which is basically the same as the 5900 just cheaper, and it works GREAT. There are issues with the 9700 and this board. Personally I would stay away from ATI completely there are always too many issues with their cards.

I only have the 4 ports on the rear installed, I tried the printer on all 4 ports, with or without any other USB devices installed, it didn't work. I didn't try installing the other 4 port doohicky. Of course Windows XP shows up to about 22 IRQ's, which I assume is some new "virtual" IRQ...

Maybe you are looking at the wrong item. The board is called "P4C800-E Deluxe" maybe the D is for Deluxe? I don't think you have to wait. I bought mine on 7/25 (shipped a few days later) from : www.antarescomputinginc.com

Btw I got a response about my USB printer problems from Asus... They say it's probably an IRQ conflict. Oh Joy. Problem is the only IRQ that is shared is with the USB port and the AGP video card, which of course can not be changed or re-arranged in any way. So I guess I'm fux0red. I went...

Yes they are color-coded. Red or light colored (yellow, white, etc) is positive and black (or the other color) is negative. They only way to test them I know of is to power up the system and look at em. I always leave the case open when powering up a new system for the first time for just...

I agree benchmarks are silly. You can find 10 benchmarks that will show the PC faster and 10 that show the G5 faster. But that article makes far too many bad assumptions like "FP is hardly used" and "most programs don't use MP". Sure if you are going to run Office and Quicken you should get...

Mac hardware is superior because it is engineered top-to-bottom. Even PCs from Dell or HP can not compare. Yes the G5 is a damn fine looking machine and faster than any Wintel machine to boot. It's just too damn bad it can't run the OS which the world has chosen by a wide margin (inferior or...

6 RAID, yes. 4 more on the UDMA 100 10 total = 4 IDE on the Intel UltraATA-100/66, 2 SATA on the Intel ICHR (which may be RAID under XP), then 2 SATA and 2 IDE(Ultra133) on the Promise RAID controller. I suppose if you hooked up the internal Firewire connector to an internal FW HDD you could...

AGP-Pro cards are longer, the plastic tab is there to prevent you from putting a non-pro card in the wrong way, which could fry both the card and motherboard. Leave the tab in if you are not using an AGP-Pro card, there will be no performance difference, it's purely a safety thing.

Sorry my bad, I thought he said he blew under the legal limit.

No they can not tow your car for a traffic ticket unless you have warrants or suspended license, or etc. If I were you I would SUE THEIR ASSES OFF and win big $$$$$$.

There aren't any XP drivers anywhere that I can find! Only the ones on the orginal XP disc. It's not just the printer drivers either, the USB drivers have trouble starting sometimes. Take a look at these pics to see what I mean: error1 error2 error3 error4 Guess I will RMA it :( What a...

OK, I verified that my printer still works on my old computer. It simply does not work on this board. All the other USB stuff works, but the printer refuses to. Is this a bug in XP with the i875 or this board? Does *anyone* else have a USB printer, pref. a HP Deskjet 800-series, working on...

Big != safe. Trucks and SUV's are some of the most UNsafe vehicles on the road. They don't handle well, they do not stop well, and they are prone to rollovers. The Mini actually has a very good safety features AND crash test ratings. Those who say it's too small obviously haven't sat in...

Had the same config on an older Asus (AMD 1.4) board with no printing problems. I have 4 USB devices, printer, camera, gamepad and UPS. I've tried moving the printer to another port and tried disconnecting everything except the printer. Only thing I haven't done is tried the printer on the old...
