Thanks people still waiting on intel's reply. One fix is to enable 'Serial ATA Raid' in the bios-load the V1.0.0.0.21 driver then just disable 'Silicon Image SiI3112 SATA RIAD Controller' in the device manager but leave the serial ATA Raid enabled in the BIOS.
All the bangs are gone but only...

Hey I am in Australia and was wondering what early indications you have of what the mobos and CPU will cost for Canterwood and Sprindale builds.

I installed nero as per the lite-on instructions. I did not install InCD as it...
Thanks viper.
Just one other question do I config the raid to use the harddrive on its own I heard somewhere that you can use a raid channel as a seperate IDE channel. Also does it matter which optical drive goes to the mobo primary/secondary channel as masters.
