Hello everyone, I have some minor issues I would like imput on.

I am running RC1 because Intel (Edge) Did not sip Vista U to me yet.

First Issue, I cannot find anyone who got Vista 64 + Raid 0 running on a DG965wh Motherboard

Second Issue, I have G.Skill DDR 800 5-5-5-15 ram, I cannot get threw the install process if its on ddr 800, it errors out, I have to run it at 667 or lower.

Third Issue, The board has no clocks. I cannot find any Matx LGA 775 boards that clock well or even at all. any help on any of the above would rock.

I know of a perfect fix

Throw it on the floor and go crazy? :crazy:

I found one (FINALLY) a overclockable Matx board, I guess it hit 299fsb in some reviews.

Review Foxconn G9657MA

My Return is $186 so I am a little happy

Indeed they did hire children to make ipods for apple, and they do sell "Nvidia SLi Cerified" Mp3 players at newegg for $8, and they do not work...but they are also the only matx c2d 775 board i have found with a good review that can overclock,

Glad you found a fix!! Once you get past the little problems in Vista, everything is happy!!

that's cool G foxxcon has made some of those "you wish someone made" boards, like the single s940
with sli for early fx cpus, and i believe they had the only s754 with pci-e/sli too (i didn't know about the children and all though... ).

Evga made one too i picked it up because it was in my $ range...and Foxcon was not.
It was weared though, using Sli disabled the X1 PCI-e and the pci slots. it had settings to change the usb volts (jumpers) so if you moved them you could damage hardware.

dang! thanks for the clarification (i wasn't sure who got that board out) wtf??? weird there...

foxconn makes a large number of oem solutions, not the best, not the worst, should be happy with it if used though, evga rocksno doubt
