Vista doesnt natively use ICH10R? WTF!

How am I supposed to install the ICH10R driver then?

You would have to grab those files out of that folder after extracting the file like I had mentioned with another PC then put it on a usb stick and jump back to your pc you are going to install on and use the stick to load the driver at the f6 screen.

Any way side note, Asus kind of pissed me off last night the tech I spoke with Michael Level 3 Indiana helpdesk, didn't update my case# after I spoke with him for an hour and never called me back when he said he would. I then called back and got Joe level 2 Indiana helpdesk, and he was a and he ended up hanging up on me when I told him that what he was telling me made no sense and when I called back I got him again and he said he hung up because I acted like I didn't want an rma??

I am going to send this one back I guess but, what I noticed is that after 0803 they implemented the cpu margin optimization and I'm begining to wonder if for some reason my cpu doesn't like it any more after my other board crapped out on me. I wonder if the mother board blew out what ever that setting is on my cpu.. I still haven't called back yet I hung up on Joe to give him a taste of his own medicine. I will probably run by what I'm thinking to the highest level tech possible over there and see what they think. If it ends up being they blew out my cpu with that setting whatever it might be, I am going to have them get me a new one.
