    hmmmm On some of the earlier dragon boards with raid people were having some serious issues, any info on the stability of the board?

    One user reported that when trying to play video from one of the drives he constantly got serious lag/stuttering problems.

    seen at www.viahardware.com.

    well when you do have your raid set up would you run a wee test for us pls :)

    copy a big dirty .avi/mpg/vcd to each of the partitions and make sure it plays off each partition the way it should do, quick test huh pls :cool:

    where's your other thread gone? Did you delete it after you fixed your problem? How did you fix you're blue screen problem? Did you take offense to the fact that I had warned you about people having problems with raid on your board and you saying you "nah they're a fine board" only to run into trouble with it then start a thread looking for help only to delete it :confused:

    PPC, where did you get your soyo board? I haven't seen any round the city or on any Irish sites. Is there a place I'm missing or did you just order it from abroad?

    damn sorry to hear that, bad luck man :(

    Did you try default memory timings? and then try setting your bios to the exact same settings as the ram chip(s)?

    Did you get anything on www.viahardware.com forums?

    or viaarena even? :|
