have few questions for those who have or had the cfx3200 mobo

installed one ide drive and 1 sata drive
windows on ide
first had probs with 4 x512 of ram ,wouldn't boot,will boot with 3 x512 if i disable command per clock in bios
so only have 2 x 512 for now
installed lan maxwell drivers and directx 9c off dfi cd and rebooted,then installed uli drivers off cd and system wouldn't boot,took me several reformat to get windows to work in cosmo resetting
here where im at
windows hangs foe several mins before booting into windows ,if it does,let windows install its own drivers for controllers
what can i do :confused:
here are some choices
my bios is 25/04/06
could update to 27/08/06
install nvidia uli 2.2o drivers

could install install 27/08/06 and leave as is
enable smart
install 7.20
or use floppy,even do i dont have folppy
all i want is to use 2 ide drives and maybe 2 sata drives
what best options for me
