Yahoo! Imagine loading this baby up on a mission critical piece of hardware. Talk about sweating bullets. Basically they had to get this thing out the door and now. This is a giant outside beta test and we are the oinkers but isn't that SOP for MS.

I am amazed at how the motherboard manufactures are recommending that people solder on their motherboards. The recommended fix for your problem sounds similar to one they posted in the last months to allow use of the latest video cards on the LX chipset motherboards. By the way what ASUS board is in your machine. Did you try upgrading the bios?

I guess you call the non-ACPI fix an undocumented workaround? SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! How many are left?? <g>
