Looking for feedback on: A7N8X non deluxe (read most of the old threads already)

[Need4Speed]

Alrighty then...I broke down and bought the A7N8X non-deluxe from newegg.

I'll be dropping in my 2400XP and two sticks of samsung 256mb pc2700 and a 9700pro

I surfed through most of the older threads, so don't bash me if its been asked already...

1. Can I assume that I will be getting a rev 2.0 board?
2. does nforce2 unlock multipliers like my trusty kt400?
3. have the sound issues been ironed out? what do I need to know? I'll more than likely use my trusty GTXP, but I'd like to check out the onboard sound just for comparison...plus I'm anal and want to know if its working or not
4. Drivers...2.45 from Nvidia or 1.16 from Asus?
5. whats this I read about some device manager error if youre using usb mouse and usb keyboard? can anyone confirm or reject this theory?
6. anything else i should know?

thnx guys....looking forward to reading some responses
-p

1) I would assume that
2) Yes
3) I haven't had issues
4) Nvidia
5) Never heard about it before
6) Your best bet is a format\fresh install of XP.
