damn! this is the second time i buy a board that looks good on paper, then do my reading and find out it's a piece of crap while it's still in the mail!
haven't got it fired up yet, but my fingers are crossed, i hope i have better luck.

However, most of the problems I've heard are from the OCZ side of things, and I did read on newegg that this board just doesnt perform well with OCZ, is it possible that at least most of this boards prroblems are limited to oCZ compatability?
