Needless to say WinME after 2 reboots is happy as a clam.  This MB seems to cuase USB 
and AGP issues.  I was able to manually get the USB mouse detected and working during 
install (Subsiquently plugged it into PS/2 port) but the NVIDIA driver (from NVIDIA) 
chokes the chicken while trying to do an insmod during installatin with agpart.o 
reporting resource not found or busy.  So I can do 2D fine but no gaming until I can 
get the NVIDIA driver sorted out.  The NVIDIA driver is supposed to support he 815 
chipset so it could be an insmod parm I need to use but so far I haven't spent any 
time trying to get it working.
