Took me an hour of messing with diffrent combinations of my 3 hard drives (2 PATA, 1 SATA) + CD-ROM till I found one that worked.ġ. The only issue I had was with the whopping selection of SATA and PATA controllers on the board. I shut down the system in disgust and switched back to my Athlon 2800 system and am considering the two motherboards above, or any that have a supported SATA chipset in FC2 and a verified install.įirst off, this was a server install so don't ask me about sound or AGP graphics (although I did do a graphical install) ![]() In WinXP there were abundant quirks and crashes (more than usual). ![]() When I was working on a logo and the mouse would lose position during a stroke I had to undo and restart the whole line over. There is also abnormally high CPU usage on any HD access. The reason that this motherboard should be avoided is the extremely poor USB implementation (how can you mess up USB?) that runs about %50 CPU usage when a single USB device is in use (around %60 in Windows XP) and with multiple USB devices working, like a KB, mouse, printer, and digital camera, the overall strain is so bad there is missed keystrokes, cursor positioning is lost, and print spooling or image copying fails. I can pretty much validate that the Foxconn 755a01 is NOT a viable board for any install, though I did get FC2 to install on the Silicon Image 3112 chipset (the SiS964 chipset is a no go). Has anyone been able to get an install through on an Abit KV8-MAX3 or ASUS K8V Deluxe, on either of the onboard SATA chipsets? I would like to see if anyone has been able to do a FC2 install on an Athlon64 motherboard using SATA exclusively.
