I'm talking about circuit devil from "outside" the computer systems, running around in his house and chasing after all of his computers. Wherever he goes in the house, the ghost follows him and get inside the motherboard and prevent from running 8X AGP, or 4X AGP in his other boards(not DFI board). He has stated that he cannot use AGP 4X in his OTHER board(not DFI) with his GF3 card as well. LOL
I was referring to the circuit devil, not the "board" itself. DFI boards do not have issue running 8X AGP interface. I haven't heard people having this problems in the other forums I go to. As for the booting issue, BIOS version 4-29 or newer has fixed many of their DFI Infinity/LP b boards. Still, not "All", but many of their boards have been fixed by it.
Tip: If you say you don't want to offend people, then don't say it to begin with. It works better that way.
Besides.. you "suppose" to have problem with the booting with DFI boards. it is not normal if it boots on you steadily. Randomly not booting is normal... I would be laughing if the DFI boards always boot. I have no problem with it, so is some other overclockers.
I wrote an article about this board for the Aoaforum site over 2 months ago. I explained about the problems and what this board is good for. These boards aren't made for the "general publics", those who don't overclock hard, those who don't bench to the limit. This board is suitable for the extreme overclockers and benchers. You shouldn't even have bought this board 5 times in a roll. Maybe you got this info too late, but I am telling you now. Now you know it that this board doesn't fit you.
