Have you tried from other Gigabyte country pages like US/Uk/TW? The US download link is working ok for me right now. Can you view other pages or sites?
weird, I would think that the CD'd drivers would work in XP SP2 also.
Did you check the actual maker of the audio hardware's website? Realtek? i don't have the stats on this board so I don't know what audio its equipped with
Ill be loading mine up in an hour, Ill let you know how it goes with the driver...
E4300
GA-G33M
2GB Corsair

waiting for your upcoming results with your new sticks!Well I received the board today and will have to hope that my new RAM overclocks better than a vegan in a chili dog eating contest before I can give it a ride. My current RAM limits me to about 375fsb. New RAM comes tomorrow.
On the bright side, it booted up the first time, even after changing the northbridge cooler and cramming it into my case with staticicky fingers.
I HAD to post this. Below is the CRUCIAL BALLISTIX BL2KIT12864AA1005 2GB KIT (1GB x 2) MATCH PAIR PC28000 1000MHZ at Newegg and mwave. You NEED to see the price difference yourslef to believe it! I thought newegg was the best, but i guess thye have one and 2 things they just go overboard on with over pricing! it pays to shop around! Also keep in mind that mwave also has a $40 rebate available so its almost $200 price diff!!

This ram with the GA-G33M-DS2R works out to $435.91 Shipped from newegg and just $281.34 shipped from mwave, both with 3day shipping!! This is CRAZY!!!
I wonder if this board, and a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme would fit inside a Coolermaster Centurion 541 MATX case...I might've just found my board.
Now to ponder the CPU choice...An E6600, or Q6600? Which one will have fewer problems getting to 3ghz?
I probably shouldn't post this then: http://www.buy.com/prod/Crucial_Bal...1000MHz_240_pin_DDR2/q/loc/101/204538864.html That will probably blow your mind! I might still try to pick some up, if the new RAM does not work out.I HAD to post this.

Thanks man. I don't think I will, but the RAM is PC8500 so there will be a small bit of finger crossing going on... It will limit me to 3.4GHz, but I have never been able to test how far this chip can go.waiting for your upcoming results with your new sticks!
You won't be disappointed!

np at all. I have HDA Sound 7,1 PCI-card + 8800GTX on that DS2R MB
You guys think the zalman 7000 92mm hsf will fit on this board with out incident ? Not entirely sure if northbridge heatsink would cause problems.
Would like to put this in a qpack2 with a 8800gts and a q6600 after the price drop.
With this board, as far as I understand, your FSB won't be able to reach 333 MHz unless your DRAM is clocked at 555 MHz. It lacks the 1:1 ratio.
Run a high mem divider to see what they max out at now.OK I get that. Hmmm we'll see... I've got some decent pc6400 sticks, so maybe....
gigabyte ga-g33m-ds2r loves micron D9!!Run a high mem divider to see what they max out at now.
I decided to upgrade back to an e6600. I am also trying some 8500 Tracers, because these Dominators suck and I would like to try to get some good sticks that I can max out with an 8x multi. If the mem maxes out first, I can fall back to a 9x.
