yes the Shuttle CD that came with the board
and after I had problems, the Shuttle Updated Drivers from the Shuttle web site.
Yes Hard drive is on one IDE controller and CD-ROM on the other, both single drives set as Master with no Slave.
Memory test passed with flying colors.
CD-ROM I am using is an older one, as my main system has the CD-ROM and CDR drive still in it. I thought it was a good one, but could be bad? Used drive I got from my brother after I had some bad CD-ROM drives of my own.
I can either take the CD-ROM out of the main system and put it into the New one and RRR, or I can buy a new CD-ROM? I've just wasted two days already trying to fix these issues.

Stupid question... probably
What does RRR mean?
Reformat, Reinstall??? ???????

Similar to issues I've had:
1) Freezes upon heavy IDE access between two different drives.
2) Freezes upon heavy USB -> drive access (large color scans).
Memtest showed nothing as well. The other two solutions I've considered:
1) Needs two banks of RAM, not one. Apparently there are some issues with the nVidia built-in card conflicting with memory access.
2) Replace the built-in video card with a stand-alone.
Have you actually replaced the memory with the XMS so that you know the solution is good?

I talked to Shuttle
they reconmended XMS or TwinX memory from Corsair, they said the ValueSelect memory is not certified for use on AMD CPUs or their Motherboard.
I'll get a refund from NewEgg on the ValueSelect and order the XMS and post the results here.

Really busy today. Father's birthday
Celebating my Son's birthday Saturday (His is actually Monday) and a friend is having a birthday on Sunday. Busy weekend.
Email me what you want and I'll try to get it. I've been busy with college and building this new system so I haven't gotten a chance to burn the SuSE SRC directory to CDRs yet. Sorry.

Re: Email me your address
I can drive up any time it isn't raining. I'd rather do that because it's a fun ride :) Get to go by the airport and park under the planes for a few, at least until the rentacops run me off...
It's gonna be raining or snowing early in the week and I'm going to Atlanta for N days, N>=7, so I'll email my digits and letters.
