Ok...got rid of the double boot issue. It was caused be my Thermalright IFX mini heatsink that goes under the mobo shorting out. Yanked it out and dropped my Tuniq Tower back in and all good.

Sound is fine again as well....

I used older creative drivers and it solved the issue for me. Don't use the latest WHQL driver but the one just before it. Sorry, not at home so don't know the version number...ends in .0012 if I remember...Vista btw.

I'm on XP SP2 full updates right now. I don't really like Vista.

Hi

Im looking to get this board for new build using PX9200 OCZ Flex XLC 4x1gb sticks, and a q6600 G0 SCLAR. Using water cooling is this a good board to hit 3.6Ghz all the time? Id love to hit higher, *cough*4ghz*cough* or would i be better getting 2gb ddr3 and X38?

I think if you have a go chip then 3.6 should be well within the limits
