[slightly OT:] What are people's expreriences with Intel 810 motherboards? I've seen a couple, and they've both been abominable. couldn't get sound working on one (and sent it back to the seller); and today I'm wrestling with one that refuses to see an older (IDE) HDD properly on the first IDE controller (a UDMA/66 one). the HDD doesn't show up in the BIOS setup (the place it's supposed to be on the IDE chain, shows up as 'not installed'); and while it *will* read the boot sector off the drive, and attempt to boot; both DOS and winNT crap out, not finding the device. I've booted with another (new) HDD; and winNT will see the old HDD just fine then. DOS fdisk recognizes that there's a drive there; but can't read any information about it. I'm suspecting a crappy BIOS. (isn't this the mobo model that had DIMM slot problems at first?)
