around...

Motherboard pin connectors allow for 2 more USB ports and 3 firewire
ports,
but I do not have the sister cards connected to allow for them, nor do I
have any hardware which would require them.

* While Corsair RAM has been labled as commonly incompatible with
Gigabyte boards, I have had pretty good experiences with it (extremely
few
lockups, no crashes other than this BSOD screen) and I have run
MemTest86
(www.memtest86.com) several times, and that has indicated that the RAM
is
perfectly functioning.
** While this piece of hardware is extremely old, I have made sure to
use
both the 722C driver (which XP confuses with the 720C driver, and asks
you
which one you would like to use), and I have made sure to use a signed
driver (XP certified).
? I plan to take advantage of this soon...
? Attached to the sound card is a set of Creative Inspire 4.1
speakers.
Not like this is important, just thought I'd say it.

Thanks for the help (and for reading this extremely long post)
