If was buying a board for long term use and I didn't have any OCing plans. I would probably go with the Asus over the DFI as well.

(But in case your wondering... I'd buy the DFI cause I want it all and I want it now!!!!! Laughing

You know, my SLi-DR board has SPDI/F, 2 gigalan ports, 2 firewire ports, 8 USB and the internal connections for sata, ide and etc are just as numerous and impressive. Here's a pic. Since taking this picture, I've cleaned up the cables a lot and removed the IDE hard drives in favor of a sata drive. I need to get a new pic, and I will, but not just yet.

BTW, if anyone has a spare blue or black sleeving kit for the PSU cables, send me a PM or something.

Just called up MS. I called them *for the second time* and got a new CD-Key. First time I used it to many times on my computer. Second time was because I lost mine. So far I've heard of people getting charged for new cd-keys but I haven't yet. If they try it. Call back and see if you get someone new.

Yes, should give you the choice to activate XP over the phone. You'll call them, and give them a long number, then they'll give you a response number. That'll activate you manually. I have to do it about once or twice a month. Which sucks because I have no idea which key I've used on which computer!!! ARGH!

I think when Vista comes out, I might see about getting a volume license version for like 6 or 10 computers LOL
