ok guys, i received my expert board this morning, the drivers on the cd are out of date, i advise you to get latest ones from web, the ones on cd are:
nforce 6.66 chipset drivers (latest is 6.86) - http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/nForce/standalone/6.70/nForce4_amd_6.70_winxp2k_english.exe
realtek ac97 (spdif) 3.73 (latest is 3.93) - http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dlac97-2.aspx?lineid=5&famid=12&series=8&Software=True
nvidia forceware 78.01 x86 + x64 (latest is 91.47) - http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/81.98/81.98_forceware_winxp2k_english_whql.exe
ati 5.8 x86 + x64 (latest 6.2) .net framework 1.1 is also in the directory as ati drivers require this.
direct x 9.0c
usb driver
silicon image sata (all types)
silicon image raid 5 (all types)
ntune
marvell lan 7.21.1.3
ihdoctor
clockgen
manual
win 98 hotfix (assume you need this to be able to use the mobo on a win98 machine)
the floppy disk has the nvraid drivers on and silicon image.
this is the dfi nf4 ut sli-dr expert btw, comes with cables, pci express bridge, rounded cables, sata cables, sata power cables adapters, everything bar the 5 1/4" tray that goes in the drive bay that came in the dfi nf4 sli-dr. the box is really small btw, they squeezed everything in really neatly. box is very posh too.
everyone flash to latest 06/04 OFFICIAL final bios, use winflash and flash from windows as floppy disks corrupt easily and can kill your motherboard, heres the changelog:
1.Enhance Memory Support.
2.Support AMD Athlon 64 FX60 CPUs.
3.Add over clocks step by step.
things to remember when setting up your new system:
* connect the 4pin or 8 pin cable from your psu to the board,
* connect a fdd power cable to the board,
* connect a pci-e power cable to your graphics card
* check that cmos jumper is in correct position, some people got their boards with it in the wrong position
* yellow slots (1+3) for BH5 ram
* orange slots (2+4) for TCCD ram
* you need the external karajan audio module plugged into the board to get sound for both the nvidia karajan (6 jacks) AND realtek ac97 alc 850 spdif in/out
