Hell, my going on 4 year old N-Force4 mother board allowed hotswapping! Every time I turn around theres another reason to switch to a better cheaper MB than this POS. These new DFI board are nothing like the old ones with hotswapping and memtest86 built into the bios...
it does
using it with windows vista x64
propably it's not motherboard's fault but user's fault

Hell, I'm not sure why I got a x48 chipset anyways. Crossfire sounded pretty cool until I ran out of money because of college books and fees.
propably your E8400 is a POS. Test it on a different mobo before getting rid of the X48
