Hey people,

I've been reading most of this thread in the past few days. First time posting, though. I bought this P5K Premium mobo a few days ago here in Belgium, and didn't know by then that there was so many problems reported using it.



FYI, mine has purple *and* red capacitors on it,
PCB made in Taiwan
Rev 2.00g
I can't look at the sticker at the bottom of the last PCI slot right now, so I don't know if the whole board is made in Taiwan or China.

According to the pictures I saw in this thread, I have the old box and manuals, though.



I first installed it with Hitachi SATAII drives on it, and had several errors displayed in the Windows XP Event Viewer. I'm now installing Seagate SATAII drives on it instead of the Hitachi's... we'll see if it gets better then.



I had mail contact with ASUS France tech support about the SATA problems. They answered me that they are not aware of any issues with this board (!!!) and that they'll contact ASUS Taiwan to see if they do have any informations on that...
