I used an ASUS A7V333 with an AMD 2000+ CPU till last week - than I popped in the P4C800 Deluxe (non E) with a 2.4C without a reformat. On the first boot up of XP I ran a repair install. Not had a single lock up or BSOD since installing the P4C800 Deluxe. Once in XP I manually removed every reference in the registry and deleted all file from my previous setup. I used the freeware program "unknown device identifier" which lists out all the devices/drivers loaded and this helped me find and delete all references/files to the old hardware.
I have made one change to my normal setup which is that I have enabled only 2 USB ports in the BIOS and I have connected an external USB2 self powered 4 port hub to one of these ports. To this hub I have connected my Logitech MX500 mouse and Canon Scanner. The other port I have disabled in Device Manager - so from the Mother Board I have only one USB port enabled and this does not share any IRQ - and this port is listed in Device Manager as the Intel USB2 port.

COMMENTS:
Great stable board.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
1.The only problem I faced was that I could not attach my 2 USB devices to Ports 1/2 or 3/4 - the mouse would not work. I could get the mouse to work only if I used USB Ports 1 and 3. Thats why I decided to use the External Self powered 4 Port USB2 hub.
