The only issue i've ever had in the last 4 months with the board is that somtimes the sound dos'nt start up with XP. This has only happened twice though.
As can be seen from my test there is a massive frame hit from the sound. A new sound card arrived for me yesterday and it's going in this weekend after Iv'e finished this round of testing .
I will post the results when available.
As a cheep mother board it's a good performer.
I suggest you get the latest SIS graphic drivers rather than the asus ones. at sis.com they work brilliantly for me as you can see from my benchmarks.
Also if your running 333 ddr ram go to the bios and switch the FSB/RAM FREQUENCY TO 1/1 this runs the ram at 266 mz with a massive performance increase 500 3d marks for me in one step.
