I guess I will have to go back to one of the previous BIOS(0704 maybe, 0603 was what I had with my previous board) and try.
I never liked 0801, Im still on 0704. Give it a try

Thats a huge difference. I cant imagine the day you upgrade to SSDs.

Any suggestions? The card is sharing IRQ 16 with both graphics cards.
wtf is this all about with all expansion cards sharing the same IRQ? Didnt nvidia learn this from 680i?
