except the ethernet port is bad. port goes to shit after about 10mins of being powered on and never comes back unless i shut it down for 3-4hrs.
good thing i got the mb from amazon

my mb was the same way when XP and Vista were installed. Fortunately I only needed 1 of the 2 ethernet ports so it wasn't a big deal. Somehow when I upgraded to windows 7 the problem fixed itself. I'm guessing there was a driver conflict somewhere.
