I've forgotton what the exact difference is between a P45 and a P43 chipset but the P43 is a "Binned" part meaning that its a P45 that didn't meet spec and has had some features disabled. I would recommend a board with a P45 chipset first.

Maybe using the "built in firewire" is your problem. Go to guitar center. They have Digi Approved Pyro FW PCI cards for $40. Got mine for $20 on clearance. I'd try that before replacing the motherboard!

no i said built in because im using a digi approved firewire card, i had a digi tech support guy take over my computer and he tried for several hours to get it to work, i tried everything he said and more, he concluded he has never seen a problem like this before and i should prob just get another motherboard.

Oh, ok. The "WITH BUILT IN FIREWIRE" emphasis threw me off! I just did a build last week that was succesful. I used this mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128423

Sorry if this has been touched upon but, are you sure (in disk allocation) you're never writing to your system drive?

He's looking for a Socket 775 board though.

That is the Digidesign approved card- part number API-311 and 64 bit PCI.

FWIW, I use a Belkin F5U503, Digi approved, works a treat and is very cheap.
