I'm up and running but have a couple problems with the onboard LAN and the ram is not being read right...
for the LAN the onboard's are a
Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit
&
Vitasse VSC8201
can't seem to get them to work..any1 have a link for the correct drivers?
I found the marvell out there recognized it but than didn't seem to work at all.
The vitasse I didn't find... There was only the Marvell one on the cd and that didn't work either =(
The ram i have ocz ddr400 2 gigs it's reading it at ddr 333 @ 2t timing

You can manually change the ram speeds in the genie bios part.
the marvell should work, looks like their site has a driver for the other LAN.

update your bios to the newest version..this will help with how it detects the RAM...also once you are loaded up.. get the newest nforce drivers 6.70 I think are it for your board as I'm sure its AMD also.
http://www.nvidia.com and just follow the driver download links till it gets to it. This should solve the picking up of the LAN adaptors.

might be a lame motherboard... if your dead set on using it then you may have to RMA.. otherwise stick a pci NIC card in it that you may have and just go with that... are you using a good Cat 5 cable? perhaps try another one cause the one your using might not be good??

the cat5 works on my other cpu cuz thats the one im using now I noticed though if i unplug something from the back it may cause it to shutdown the thing i noticed in the beginning was that in the bios it says
"CMOS checksum error"
which means the battery needs to be replaced?
Iv'e never done this before but does this makes sense why the LAN wouldn't be working?

blah i got everything fixed except the onboard LAN...
the
Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit
&
Vitasse VSC8201
it recognizes both but when i put a network jack it issues an ip of something like 168.xxx.xxx.x takes forever to assign an ip and can't get on the internet...
having the same problem with both!@

simple questions....are you sure the bios settings for the nic(s) are setup properly. disable the wake on lan feature if it is not already. also, you might try going in under the properties for each nic and setting the speed for them manually. By defualt it is always set to auto detect....try 100 mbps full duplex.
