Gigabyte have update the FAQ for the DQ6 and what appears to be an EEPROM update for the onboard Marvell 8056 controller:
http://www.giga-byte.com.tw/Support/...ue=Motherboard
Q. How do I solve the problem in the following situations?
1. System hangs up when installing Windows Vista.
2. RAID array fails.
3. If the Marvell LAN is disabled in OS, system becomes extremely slow when copying files or even hangs up.
A. Please follow the steps below:
1. Please make a bootable disk (you may build this disk under Windows XP and select "make this disk bootable" while formatting your floppy).
2. Please unzip the file downloaded from http://www.giga-byte.com.tw/FileList...ell_eeprom.zip into the bootable floppy you just made.
3. Use this floppy to boot you system and type "eep.bat" after the DOS prompt.
4. When this utility has done its work, please reboot your system.
I performed this update but i am not quite sure what is does?...i belive it's update the Marvell EEPROM and also the MAC address, as info during the update indicated this...can anyone confirm and offer further insight?, when Vista booted it detected a new Marvell controller...lists it as #2, so something got changed.
Xpress recovery 2 has been updated, March 7th 2007:

Supports Vista now it seems.
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! :mad:
F*CKING GIGABYTE!!
That EEPROM update screwed up Vista!, i had to activate my OS over the phone!, what the hell?
Obviously this update DID change something significant, if i needed to activate by phone. Online activation failed and i had to call MS, so i guess the MAC address did change and Vista flagged it and thought it was a pirated copy :mad:
Damn you GB, while don't you warn folks? :mad: :mad:
you should dump the bios and see if the sla rsdt is changed
I have to change my memory moudules to Corsair value 667 1x2GB
im using gigabyte DQ6 rev1 (F9).
so which bios is recommended?
965p-dq6 rev (1.0) 965p-ds4 rev (1.0) 965p-ds3 rev (1.0) will support official q6600 & q6400 & q6300 with new bios? for example 965p-dq6 rev (1.0) f10 or better bios...
my important question is :im waiting for new bios and now buying q6600! is it true?
im using gigabyte DQ6 (1.0) F9
DS3 REV1.0 cannot use F10 BIOS ???:confused:
No problem so far with F10 bios in my ds3 rev.1 :toast:Quote:

Which software i could use to regulate FAN speeds on the DS4 ? I got 2 x AKASA AC-FC-03 but its not enough to regulate all the AC Fans i got on the case (CM Stacker 831), SpeedFan doesn't support the DS4 sensor it seems.
Any ideas ?
But DS4 rev 1.0 supports fsb 1333 cpu or not???
I have the same problem with my S3. That same slot actually killed one of my sticks running stock voltage (2.0v) after a few weeks. I've been running 3x512mb for months now... I'd run only 2x512MB if BF2 didn't get choppy with less than 1.5gb...Quote:

One of my ram got raosted too eheheh... damn!Quote:
