Or you can return the board and get a nvidia chipset and save yourself alot of grief.

Actually no, in those power charts it's your beloved Asrock

[energyman]

fine, but that does nothing to the fact that gigabyte is just a bad choice for a motherboard.

oh and my 'beloved' board wasn't even in the mix:

I should of clarified, it was your beloved ASRock brand.

[energyman]

an I love asrock because the boards are cheap and robust.
Something I can't say about MSI or Gigabyte. Had lots of mainboards in the past, Asrock never let me down.

... there was a workaround - use ohci for usb 1.1 devices).

there are 4 usb ports on the back, how do i tell which is usb 1.1, and which is usb 2.0. but really, should that matter? its usb, simple keyboard, and simple mouse, should just work.
