Does the 0402 fix the "problem" of the board turning off and then on again whenever you first power on the system (when it's overclocked) after you have switched off the mains previously?

from what etailer did you guys got the rev2 taiwan?
i want to buy mine but don't want to get a bad rev....
Hmm... my new board only does this "sometimes" after setting a new overclock setting in the BIOS, but only happens the one time after I've saved the settings and the board reboots.Originally Posted by TWY

After I've shut down the system for a period of time and then re-start it, it just boots the one time like it would if it was at default settings.
This is with the 0204 BIOS. I haven't felt the need to flash to any of the new betas yet as everything has been solid so far.
sesdave,
Now is all that baldness due to puters or is it really the wife/girlfriend/kids ??
A..hummmm...
Now...., have you tried disabling some of the graphical features/effects in vista?
Some of them can tend to make programs seem more sluggish at times.
I wouldn't characterize my Vista Ultimate 32bit experience with my first P5K-P as being/feeling slow exactly... if anything it was maybe on par to slightly slower than when running the Striker Extreme, yet did seem a bit slow compared to the experience I remember when running my older P5W DH Board.
I'm not sure what it was about the P5W, it just felt snappier in certain situations. The new P5K-P certainly has that feel to it and maybe a little improvement to boot.
One interesting thing to note is that with the first Premium I could noticeably see a difference in boot times depending on the settings used in the BIOS. With this new board it seems to boot consistently every time.

I had a P5W and it was very zippy with winxp , e6600 3.6 and 2x1GB compared with this one with Vistax64,q6600 3.6 and 4x1GB ram. I had hoped for more on this setup - course at my age it could be my memory of the P5W performance letting me down. Maybe SP1 will cure(in my dreams!). I have done all the tweaks and service disabling that are around. Anyways its time for a Vistax64 reinstall -its been weeks and I have nothing else to do! This time I will try the matrix raid 0/1 and see what that does for me. Probably nothing apart from improving my HD tune pictures -lol!. !

Q6600 - L729A959
VID1.2625 @3.72GHz (465x8) 1.4625v(BIOS)
P5K Premium (0702 BIOS)
Win7 Ultimate x64
Ultima-90
4x1GB Ballistix 8500C5 @ 1166 5-5-5-12 2.2v
MSI 5770 Hawk 1030/1330 - 1.25v
2 x Hitachi T7K500 320MB - Matrix RAID 0/1
Hiper Type R 680w
Well now, we can't both be wrong in thinking the P5W was a zippy little board.
FYI, I just enabled the "Intel Robson Technology" option in the BIOS, and I swear its given my drives an extra little kick in the pants.
I wonder why Asus hasn't made this setting available in the 0302, 0402 betas?
One thing I've been thinking is that just because the boards PCB may be made in a particular location, it doesn't necessarily mean that the motherboard was assembled in that same location.
Infact, take a close look at the bottom of PCI slot#3 in the pic of the "NEW" board. there's a sticker that shows the boards serial number and if I'm not mistaking it says Made In China
-EDIT- I can confirm that the sticker does indeed say made in china.
