I Found my MOBO"SHUTTLE BUG"

[natb1]

In an earlier post about quality names in MOBOs I expressed a negative opinion of my Crashing Shuttle AI61 MOBO. I found it was "related" to my RAM. I turned off the "Super Bypass" option in the BIOS. My crash experience has deminished greatly. So far None. The MOBO has salvaged some redemption in my opinion. However My efforts to get the AGP port to work @ 2X partially contributed to my dimise. It has the infamous AMD 751/756 Irongate chipset which is problematic with AGP issues. I have to "re-initiate" the video in Quake II to get the High FPS and need Guru-3D utility to do so. Anyway, I swithed to "super bypass" as a trouble shooting idea. I never put it back. I will retract the "poor" statement while still not pleased with the AGP issue (AMD issue).

It is not only one "bug" you can find in this particular motherboard - recently I had to reflash a lot of BIOS chips to make them working again (almost every second motherboard). I guess, customers failed BIOS update... Besides, it is hard enough to find 256Mb DIMM, what would be actually working as 256Mb, not as 128 or 64Mb...
