It saved me time (and therefore money) to let them build the system and I had no problems with dirver issues, having to second guess problems that might have been caused by faulty components, etc. It was well worth the small margin that they charge over building a component level system.

Here's what's happening as far as interfacing devices with the mobo:

PCIe_1: OPEN

PCIe _16_1: PNY Quadro-IRQ 16 & 17

PCIe_2: Pro Tools Branded 13 slot Magma PCI chassis hosting RME Multiface, MADI and AES32 PCI cards in slots 1, 5 and 7, interfacing the mobo PCIe slot using a Magma PEHIFX1host card. All cards share IRQ 18.

PCIe_3: UAD-2-IRQ 17

PCIe_16_2: Duende PCIe-IRQ 16

PCI_1: Pro Tools Branded 13 slot Magma PCI chassis hosting 4 x UAD-1 cards in slots 1, 5, 7 and 11-All cards share IRQ 20

PCI_2: OPEN

The audio drive consists of 4 x 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB cache Seagate Barracudas in SATAII RAID 10 Array.

The onboard LAN shares IRQ 17 with no ill effects. There are no FW devices on this machine and it is disabled in the BIOS. I have had this system running almost nonstop for the last three months, often tracking up to 18 hot mics and 4 x DI's simultaneously at 64k buffers and mixing fairly heavy track count projects and it hasn't crashed once. OS is Win XP32/SP2.

Why don't you use sp3?
