Downloaded snapshot 24683 started to load for install mobo died that board has been running 24/7 since Dec 2008. I should of stuck with the previous Foxconn A74ML-K witch is still running at a customers house with a X3 Athlon as a Win7 Media Center. The A74ML-K only cost $37.00 freeship from newegg.com. 9-18-11

As a added funtime bonus. We have bought a house so I will be moving and wiring a older house to run my system Weeeeee!

Replacing with ( should arrive next week )

• Foxconn M61PMP-K $44.99
• Kingston DDR3 1333 4GB $25.99
• PNY Verto 210 1GB $22.95

If this setup goes well... I might replace all the motherboards with either the A74ML-K and reuse my DDR2 800 ram and the PNY 210 1GB GPU

-or-

Just bit the bullet and use the M61PMP-k and new DDR3 4GB 1333 ram with the PNY 210 1GB GPU. Since the cost diff between DDR2/DDR3 I can get 2x the ram for the same price.

Either way I will have a serial port and be able to use my CM11a for X10 again ( Basic light controls )
