This particular Gigabyte has 8 sata ports with two FRAIDs. I figure once
the horsepower of the machine is not enough, it will be at the very
least a good server. I lost count of the USB portsl but I believe it has
12. Also two 1394B (yes, the 800mbps) firewire. Also two lans. Dual

Charles,
After I went through a miserable seven hours fighting a blue screen
error on startup after the first attempt at installing new chipset
drivers, I finally managed to get the new drivers installed and the
reader seems to be functioning properly.
I have responded to your questions below.
FWIW, I don't build PCs using Asus mobos. I find I get a better bang for

won't be blazing. I use the onboard raid myself as I really

To some degree you can measure disk i/o with the program, though it

My previous machine had a Gigabyte MB and I really liked it. So far,
I'm not impressed. It's also my first experience with Nvidia chipset
drivers - I was ready for anything else, given my experience with VIA.
I may go back to Gigabyte, sooner than later.

You are able to use your 5400 II on x64? I have Vuescan running on x64
but can't load/install the scanner on the system. How did you use Ed's
