@mrbean_phillip Another great thing about this board is that it is not hot at all. I left the thing on all day and the northbridge heatsink was hotter than the CPU heatsink. Both wer just warm, not hot. When I add the SSD (when they get cheaper) I think I can get it down to like 11 or 12 seconds. I may even go so far as to modify the BIOS to go faster by having it assume that certain hardware is always there. But that is a difficult road to go down and it may not be worth it. I am going to have it not autodetect the drives and stuff to get it to boot faster. For now, I am concentrating on 800X480 and the M2. I posted over in the 945 800X480 driver mod thread so follow that when you get your screen.
@jamesavery22 I got it from Global American. When I got it they had 2 in stock so I would try and jump on it right away because the lead time on getting these from Taiwan is a few weeks I think. They have a good engineering staff too and they can recommend and build the entire CPU/MB/RAM combo and test it for you.
@mrbean_phillip Thanks for the link. That sounds like exactly the same issue! I am out of town now but when I get back I will try it again. I will post results here.
