I had zero problems w/ the DFI Ultra-D mobo, can't even boot w/ my A8N-SLI pos....
If I were you I'd get a mobo from a vendor that accepts returns. Others and myself got screwed by certain vendors that won't exchange or refund a faulty board.
So you may spend 2 -4 weeks w/out a working system..
I would look at the Chaintech VNF4 mobo, it seems to have the least problems. Also Asux is supposed to release the A8N-E which is based on the Nforce4 Ultra .
Right now I'm fighting w/ ZZF over a DOA mobo. If the 2nd mobo gives me problems then I'll put a Jhad on their a&& .
I probably will end up getting a A8n-E mobo when it comes out or another DFI Ultra-D. The reason I didn't get another Ultra-D is that I need a parallel port.. I also have a scsi & sound card that are pci.
The more time I loose w/ this crap the more I wish I'd gotten a Dual Opteron K8W, at least it would run w/out issue...

Jose
