Peter, Have you tried the K8WE nvidia based motherboard? I noticed that the K8W only had USB 1.1 so I upgraded our quote to the K8WE which has USB 2.0. I also noticed that this chipset supports SATA-II so I had our drives changed to WD Caviar SE16's. Will the normal SATA driver support in FC4 support the SATA-II drives or should I drop back to normal SATA drives? Also will FC4 provide full support for the nvidia chipset or will I have to download drivers from their site? Jack
