Which card do you have and which version of the BIOS?  Strangely the
GeForce2 GTS didn't give me too much hassle (although I can't remember
if I used it in 9.3 or 9.2).

But I have other problems too.  My CPU is an AthlonXP 2400+
Thoroughbred, and the board detects it as 1800+ (i.e. 1500mhz in stead
of 2000mhz).  The problem is it detects the FSB as 200 instead of 266.
The only way to get it to run at 266 is to use the overclocking
function, which fails every couple of boots.

All in all I'm really disappointed.  I've had problems minor problems
with ASUS before, usually stuff that a BIOS or driver update (in
Windows) fixed.  After seeing how sweet my housemate's Athlon64+ASUS
board worked out, I though heck, I'd give it a try.  It was the only
board available locally hat has both dual channel memory and onboard
gigabit lan.
