Just make sure your CPU can support a 333 MHz DDR FSB. Or buy a cheap XP (like the 1800+), and upgrade to Barton later.

Fixable. By flasing the BIOS to a newer version. If possible that is, for sometimes it's an indication the BIOS is corrupted. If not possible, take out the BIOS chip, have it erased and flashed with...

I'd say the board supports both. But why not go for CL2 memory? It's faster, and probably the same price (or a very small difference)

You're welcome.

You must get/make a bootable floppy disk, and have the flashprogram, and the BIOSfile on it. The bootfloppy (even when created in WinXP) will be DOS based, and can't read NTFS partitions, which does...

Not on Gigabyte mobo's (with Dual BIOS): mine reads a floppy when in BIOS. No need for a startup disk.

Check the mobomaker's website to see if a BIOSupgrade is available that allows you to use an XPxxxx+. The chipset can, but it depends on the mobomaker to make the nessesary adjustments to the...

Wouldn't that indicate it does not need a CPU to perform this test?( Power on SELF!! Test)..It doesn't. All mobo's "know" when a faulty, improper seated or no CPU is present.

Have you installed any displaydrivers? Like the NVidia Detonators?
D3D won't work if the drivers for your displayadapter aren't present..(The detonators work for all GForcecards)
