ACK!!! I NEED MONEY NOW!!!!!!

airspirit:
There is one question I do have about the Epox but more about the nForce2 chipset in general. Do you run 2K or XP? If you run 2K, what type of system does 2K detect your board as? As in when you go into the Device Manager and you look under the "Computer" header at the top of the list.

I am asking because everytime I have installed 2K on VIA or SIS chipsets, it has always defaulted to "Advanced Computer Power Interface" and all my devices on my PCI/AGP bus share a single interupt. I have ALWAYS had a problem with that and I have to manually setup my system as a "Standard Computer" so my IRQs dont conflict. Many people dont have a problem with this but all my configs have.

I am hoping that the nForce2 will detect as a "ACPI - Uniprocessor PC" or something that will allow individual IRQs to devices and NOT share them.

Thanks for your help.
