ASUS has a nice one based on the NVIDIA chipset (nForce2?). Try to find something that can use ECC memory. Your RAM could be bad, and your motherboard is fine, but since you aren't using ECC, you wouldn't know. Riser cards are quite a problem too. I would try to get as much stuff on-board as possible. Riser card problems cause all sorts of random problems like corrupted video, and page faults. Tom
