Well I am going to RMA that Shuttle to newegg.
They don't show to have the exact same one in stock, so if I get something different are these new Iwills any good?

Is serial ATA anythng I should be enterested in? Just a new High cost gimmick, or is this something that is worth getting for future expansion? Might want raid this time not sure if I would use it.

One thing for sure, from now on I build a system and use the part to make sure they work soon as I get them! If nothing else just burn them in then put them back away till needed!

head over to amdmb.com forums and find out there... usually a lot of peeps with a lot of knowledge there. Iwill has always made a good board. Personally i wouldn't buy that one for the simple fact that the kt400 is expecting a revision here pretty soon cause it has problems and is no better than the KT333 chipset. If i were you i'd go for a Epox 8K3A of 8K5A line of boards... the 8K5A is pretty much the same as the 8K3A has USB 2.0 and onboard lan is about the only differences. And if you overclock they love to be overclocked

lol naa i've just had good luck with them and they are great overclocking boards both P4 and AMD wise. Iwill's are generally good overclocking boards as well both Iwill boards i've had i loved still have the XP333 in the gf's computer. right now though i wouldn't buy any board with kt400 chipset. wait until the kt400a hits the main stream.
