I have an A8V (similar, but not the A8V-E), but can't remember what settings are like in the BIOS - damn thing went bad and is being looked at by Asus now.

Hi, good read :D

It appears quite a few people (myself included) purchased this motherboard recently (Nov 2004) to find it didn't work straight out of the box. This is because the A8V-Deluxe was shipped with a bios that didn't recognize the new 939 pin 3400+ processor or the newer Winchester 90nm processors (since they were released only recently).
