P5-ND problem

You mean p5n-D.
Anyways, this MoBo is chalk full of problems. What hardware are you running, and what OS are you running?
There are a ton of issues this MoBo has, ranging from not reading RAM over 2 gigs, not reading Graphics cards, to dead PCI slots, and finally just completely dead MoBo's altogether. Had I known this before I ordered my MoBo, I would have ordered the EVGA board which is a bit more expensive, but far more reliable and no issues reading hardware. I'm praying that mine ends up working since my other computer died completely and I'm computer less at this time.

Hope that helps, this will be my first time and I'm scared it's going to be a bad experience with an iffy board.
I honestly pray I have your luck. When the boards work correctly everyone loves them, but just reading Newegg.com reviews sends shivers... I'm fairly read up on the BIOS and booting issues so hopefully I get it right the first time and the MoBo doesn't grenade on me.
How does your motherboard perform under heavy graphics or gaming loads?
