This board is amazing hands down! It does everything that it states it can do. Some of the complaints about the sound drivers not working are not true, they just don't understand how to get them working, the integrated sound card works great! *See Below
The only Cons I see is the IDE port coming out the side instead of facing up, but I knew this before I bought it. Also when you reboot with the driver disk in, a RAID program will load and ask you to create a RAID disk. To get around this simply take the CD out of the drive and restart, lol. No biggie...
Ok here is how to install those sound drivers. First install the Chipset drivers from the disk and reboot. The chipset drivers include the LAN drivers and Geforce drivers.
Next install the sound drivers and reboot. When you start back up Windows XP should automatically detect your new sound hardware, simply tell Windows to search on the disk (Usually D:) and it will find and install them itself, boom you have sound, no biggie...
If you are running XP 64-bit like I am, you will need to install the XP 64 sound hotfix which is included on the driver disk also. You will need to open explorer and find the folder labeled "sound" and install the file in the "Hotfix" folder, or you can download the hotfix from Microsoft's website directly. This is not an Asus issue, this is for ALL sound drivers using XP 64. I had to do this with my Asrock and Gigabyte boards too.
Any questions email me at fwguy1979@hotmail, I'd be happy to walk you through it.
