…and it only took me 5 hours.
Prologue
The upgrade was from a ECS HT 2000 (AMD690GM-M2) to a ASUS A8N-SLI.
The ECS was okay, however:
- It had a fairly standard Phoenix BIOS which did the job well, but didn’t have all the ASUS extras (AI N.O.S comes to mind) and the BIOS layout which I missed sorely from my broken-down A8V-E Deluxe.
- The onboard sound was more or less broken, leading to a purchase of a Soundblaster LIVE value.
