Problems and Pitfalls
Use the onboard graphics- set it to 128 MB.
Use UI2 with overlay (not alpha blending) -- using the HDMI output at 1080p with UI2 set to alpha blending, video playback exhibits tearing.
My board shipped with bios version 0303, (basically the first version). Consequently, both the processor (AMD64 X2 4400+) and the RAM (Kingston 800MHz) I had were not supported (failed to boot, one long beep then two short beeps), even though they were both listed on the Asus website. I ended up borrowing some ram (Kingston 667MHz) and buying a cheap processor (AMD Sempron 3200+) in order to flash the bios to version 0901. After this, everything worked fine. --Macca 03:09, 3 September 2007 (MST)
