I qoute "you are lucky it boots up at all" I then asked him if an another spare P4 that I had lying around would work. Gave hime the Model/Prodcut # and he said Yea, that should work!<br>
<br>I said ok, ill try this....<br><br>Put it in, added some heat goo, put the fan back on, Bios reads P4 3.2 Ghz (which is what it is) but the Freq. is 2.12Ghz!!! WTF, I think this board is just crap...suprizing coming from Asus. They usally make quality stuff. Not on this one.<br>
<br>I guess I will deal with the OSD studder. I really dont feel like putting $200 into this frontend for a new MB and/or Proc. Just not work it to get rid of minor stutter.<br><br><br>:(<br><br>Mitchell<br></div></div>
