i am having somewhat of a similar problem as you on this board.
my specs are exactly the same as yours, except i am using stock parts and my memory is Transcend DDR400 512 * 1
Nvidia's Nforce Drivers that came with the installation CD cause some serious havoc with SP2. the moment i install the PCI BUS Master and GART Drivers, my IDE CD stops responding. i had to do a clean install and not install the NForceware.
looking at the Nvidia Site for a solution gives nothing. the most recent release of their NForce3 250 driver set doesnt even have the K8NE-dlx listed in the supported boards. i did see the SK8N, which is like the little brother of this board.
did you find any solutions. i would let it just stay this way, but w/o the PCI Bridge and the BUS Controller, when i have CDs in both my CDR and CDRW, it hangs the machine.
