Perfect! Worked right out of the box.
Cheapest motherboard with 4 240-Pin ddr2 slots, PCI express x16 slot, HD 8 channel audio. Efficient and attractive heatsinks, and smells good, and Delivered on my birthday.
Had to update bios to install vista.
At first Windows vista ultimate wouldn't complete installation.
I Downloaded the updated bios from the foxconn website.
Created a DOS boot cd with the program PowerIso.
I downloaded the DOS Boot image i found on google.
and loaded the image "iso" Then I added the updated bios files I downloaded from the foxconn website to the disk and burned the cd.
I set CDROM as the first boot device, saved the Bios, Rebooted to load the cd.
After it loads DOS select the drive the cd is in. Example. d:\
Type d:\run afu865.exe it loads the Flash Utility.
Step one is saving the origonal Bios I named it "515f1p55.bin" so I could move onto the next step and hit no for no backup.
Step two looks exactly like step one except you specify the file your using to replace the origonal.
Type "515f1p55.bin" hit enter ad it will program the flash memory.
Make sure you remove the CD or floppy before rebooting.
You can now install Windows Vista on your 945P7AA-8KS2.
It's cheap and you get 4 RAM slots.
Extremely difficult to get working. I had to figure out that of the three PATA ports, only one worked. With the two side ports things would either work but not be detected in the BIOS but show in POST, not work and not show in POST but show in BIOS, or some other crazy sort of thing. The manual recommends you attach your hard drive and CD-ROM to what it calls the first port. They probably suggest this because it's absolutely the only configuration that actually works correctly.
After installation I can't get USB to work anymore. According to the driver CD, the USB 2.0 drivers are in SP 1 for XP. Well, I've got that installed and it still doesn't work.
Okay, I shouldn't say I have all of it installed. I tried to install all automatic updates that were available and it makes the whole of windows crash on start-up with a BSOD. I have to revert to the old settings to use anything.
I originally got this to upgrade to 4 RAM slots. Well, I got that, but that's it.
Avoid if at all possible.
