Actually I have a similar problem that GAR's experiencing, albeit with my Commando.

My Logitech Media keyboard locks periodically in DOS (Ghost 2003) and the BIOS. I also tried a Logitech Internet kb as well as MS Media Keyboard all with the same results, not to mention flashing back to various BIOS revisions (clearing CMOS, no oc), etc, etc. I'm still researching the issue but in the meantime I'm looking to upgrade to a P35 board.

I posted five questions in this thread (see post #969) but the last two remain unanswered. So I repeat them and add some more.

1. To date, how many official BIOS updates have there been for the IP35 Pro?

2. Are there any SATA/AHCI issues? I have four SATA drives and would like to run at least two of them in AHCI (or perhaps RAID 0). I don't want to re-install XP only to find out there's a problem with AHCI support.

3. Are there any USB problems at all? (strange lockups, resource conflicts with X-FI or with on-board PCI LAN controllers)

4. I have two PATA DVD burners, Pioneer & BenQ. My Commando has no prob with these two in cable select mode. Does the IP35 Pro have any issues with PATA optical drives in such a configuration?

I'm very seriously interested in the IP35 but MUST know of conflicts beforehand. I can't afford the down time. I've owned several Abit boards in the past but since that time I've avoided them because I saw QC take a nosedive and read reports of Abit mgmt embezzling money. Hopefully all that's now permanently in the past.
