Re: GA-EP45-UD3R Version 1.1

If your just setting it up then use the latest drivers on the website instead of the CD. As far as BIOS well depends on how crazy you want to OC if at all, if not, then stock is fine unless it has something specific that it fixes that pertains to your build.

But i know the new F6 for the UD3P boots slightly faster than the F4/F5, so if that comes around you may want to try it

Re: GA-EP45-UD3R Version 1.1

Thanks for the reply. I used all the drivers I listed except for the Intel ICH9R/ICH10R SATA RAID Driver (full). I am running RAID1. I only installed the pre-install SATA RAID drivers during Win XP Pro SP 3 install. Do I need to install the full SATA RAID driver? Everything seems to be running fine.

Current BIOS is listed as F4. I don't think I need to update to F5. Any opinions?
