thanks for the replies
Yeah see, imo, its not worth trying to fix the deluxe and risk the SE if the only thing is the firewire and all the raid stuff...ive never ever used firewire (and dont intend to

), never used raid, and only got 1 HDD anyway, and i only have a 5.1 speaker set, so dnt need 8channel audio

...the only reason i would like to fix it is so i can sell it and make money back on it, b/c there is like $100 diff b/w a working and non-working board
Btw beachbum, thanks for the explanation on the TCCD RAM
And PT, wat do u mean by deluxe OCing better, they got the same chipset and are almost identical, its just that one has the Promise thingo
