This board runs under Vista 64, I know cos I am doing so.

Vista 64 is an awkward sod, I can't honestly say your post install driver loading won't be trouble free but it does work.

On a seperate note I successfully modified my BIOS 13 fullscreenlogo today, I can write up a little guide if anyone is interested.

Ok Ive just built my system with this board and a Q6600, only problem is I have bios 10 and when installing Vista 64 it hangs just before its finished installing (just as it says on this thread).

Ive downloaded the new bios version 13, but what i wanna ask is if its possible to update the bios using a bootable cd? On the instructions it tells you to make a bootable floppy disc, but I dont own a floppy drive. Will the bios update just the same from a bootable cd instead of floppy? advice here would be helpfull

thanks

I havent got this board anymore otherwise I would have a dabble. . . .

Try here:- http://forum.abit-usa.com/forumdisplay.php?f=48

If you havent registered, maybe worth doing so. . . all the Abit fanboys/ experts/fanatics use those forums & 9 times out of 10 you will get a reply explaining things to sort out your problem.

Can anyone check the latest :13 bios & see if it only recognises the default cpu voltage & defaults back to the mininum for the cpu?
 
seems to be the way for abit BIOS of late that they don't have undervolting options.
Of course with EIST etc. enabled it will automatically drop the voltage down when not under load.
 
UPDATE:The following drivers have had updates, they have been ammended in the original thread.

Note: The date next to the drivers is the date I've updated them, not the actual date of the drivers came out.

What was the old system based on? It's extremely unlikely you'll be able to carry a RAID array across from one controller type to another. The only one I know definitely works are the NVRAID controllers and anything Promise based is all interchangeable.
